S3EP04: Why Not? The Joy of Trying New Things
What happens when you transform from a running-hater to someone who seeks out nighttime trail adventures with headlamps? Daryl's unexpected journey into ultrarunning becomes the launching point for a deeper conversation about embracing discomfort and seeking new experiences.
The hosts introduce "The Kevin Rule"—a powerful life philosophy about scheduling mini adventures every other month to build what they call a "life resume." These aren't necessarily grand expeditions but rather intentional steps outside your comfort zone that accumulate into a life rich with meaningful experiences. Whether it's trying trail running after years of resistance, taking a boxing class, or learning something completely new, these adventures reshape how we see ourselves and what we believe possible.
One of the episode's most powerful moments comes when Daryl shares his story of getting knocked out during a boxing match and facing the crucial decision the next morning: quit or return to the gym. His pre-dawn decision to show up anyway perfectly illustrates the episode's central message about resilience building. As Doug puts it, "Fear is like vapor—if you give it power, it will rule your life, but if you just let it dissipate, you'll discover what you're truly capable of."
The conversation explores how regularly trying new things improves mental wellbeing, builds social connections, helps overcome fears, and creates a deeper sense of purpose. Most importantly, it transforms your relationship with discomfort—teaching you that temporary uneasiness is the pathway to growth rather than something to avoid.
Have you been saying "no" to opportunities because they seem uncomfortable or outside your usual interests? This episode might just inspire you to ask "why not?" instead.

Speaker 2:I want to introduce a new friend, Ruben Ruben Cuevas, who's got a podcast and they're little snippets, man little 12 minute, 13 minutes. So for my faith-based people who love to get down with some scripture, some Bible stuff, but tied into some real life application, especially dealing with physical stuff, running or exercising or just mental wellness and health, Gathering Strength, Gathering Strength is Ruben Cuevas' podcast. He's got some great episodes on there. Again, a lot of them are 12 minutes, 15 minutes, 13 minutes, 10 minutes, and they're great little snippets just to give you some food for thought, help you refocus and adjust your lens and, you know, figure out why you're going forward, how you're going to get forward. So big shout out to you, Ruben. Thanks for sharing your podcast with me. Brother and I'm sharing it all over and we're sharing it here on Peach Podcast as well.
Speaker 3:We met Ruben literally with like a one minute countdown, going into our six hour run, and you just noticed his shirt and you said something to him. He had a shirt and it said fear God and you said something to him. We literally you had a one minute conversation with him and he was going off to run the a hundred miler attempted. You dapped him up and then we took off and we got to know him and got to know his wife and where his trailer was and everything else and he completed. So it was awesome that you're able to connect with him. I'm looking forward to uh listening to his podcast and probably uh trying to get him on ours, um, but uh, yeah, really cool guy yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2:Uh, I talked with him for a little while and, uh, he's definitely open to getting on here and sharing his story about his 100 mile run. Beast mode man, that dude's insane, that's insane. And he gave me some, a few little snippets and pieces of what he thought about what, how he prepared some crazy stuff, daryl, some interesting stuff. It was totally not the physical part that he prepared for when he I I mean he, he prepared physically, but you know how do you train for a hundred mile run? You know, hey honey, I'm going to go out and do my 80 mile run today. You know it ain't like that. So it's a lot of mental prep and, uh, he told me some of the things he did to mentally prepare and, uh, I'm excited for him to share some of those tips and tools with our listeners and also for you and I so we can learn stuff. Uh, cause Daryl, daryl the non-runner I'm just going to segue right into this bad boy, cause we have Daryl the non-runner who is now like Mr Frickin, ultra runner, everything we talk about. We have these text threads that I'm part of uh with with Daryl, and he's always throwing in look at this racer, let's do this, this trail run here, dah, dah, dah, dah, and it's all trail, trail, trail, trail, trail, and it's all ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra. And I'm just like man, what, what the hell happened with Daryl? Like he was, he hated running, he didn't want nothing to do with running, he was open to training for an event, finishing it and then saying, okay, I'm back on my bike, leave me alone, let's go. And but now, darrell, I don't think, uh, you've been on your bike, man, like you are. You are meeting up with Eric. You guys are not just running trails, you guys, uh, you know, you both have jobs and commitments and obligations and family and all that other stuff. So now you guys are like well, that's not a problem, because now we, now that we've run in the nighttime and we know how to do it, I see you guys out there, all your Strava stuff is at nighttime. Man, you got these selfies with these five flashlights on your head and I'm like, man, these boys are, they're going to it, man. So, there, I'll definitely want to peel that back a little bit. We are going to talk a little, a plethora of things today, but that's definitely going to be one thing there. What, what clicked for you, man, let's just go unscripted right here. I know when it happened. I know when it happened and I'll kind of frame that.
Speaker 2:So if those of you who haven't listened to our podcast I don't even know what episode it is, but it's with Ralph and I'm not even going to try to butcher his last name it starts with the P and says the title, something about ultra runner and with Ralph. Go listen to that. But literally the day after that damn podcast, daryl went out and ran and he ran on a trail and he hasn't stopped since. So what was it about that podcast? What was it about that story, daryl? Or was it when you actually hit the trail that inspired you? Cause, now I'm, I'm, I'm serious man. This is like they're, like those of you who know daryl, like he didn't want anything to do with running, and now I can't get the boy to stop running on trails, that is, and ultras, and you know talking about 30 miles and 50 miles and 100 miles. I'm scared, daryl. So what clicked man? What? What was the switch?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think one. I really enjoyed Ralph's story but I just really his enthusiasm was kind of infectious for me and I kind of like got to the point where finishing up kind of our starting to almost be done with our training for Shamrock, and I was just really happy on these road races just to get them behind us. I was in a much better frame of mind this year than last year Doug I talked to you about that because I was a bit more better shape and it's running is so psychological, if you can get to that base underneath you. And uh, and when he talked about it, I was out for a run and I was on the bike trail and I and I said, well, let me go off, and I just had a fun.
Speaker 3:It was, uh, it was very different. It felt like every step you were looking where you were going. It felt like I was able to get my mind more focused on every step and everything else and it felt like camping and like running through a forest when you are like a kid, and I found myself kind of like my mental aspect was much more on my surroundings and others rather than running, and so that's why I did the first one. I thought it was pretty cool and I came back and I was really happy. And then Eric and I did it, and then we signed up for one and two things. I think number one it's much as you know, doug, and it was awesome of you you being with us on a few of these is it's a lot more about the experience rather than just this time.
Speaker 3:Oh, I got to hit this pace or something. So it's a little bit, a little bit different. Um, the first time Eric and I went out we did the half marathon trail run in, uh, uh, salmon Falls. We ran these people and they were so cool and, um, we had, we had, we had a ball, we just had a ball.
Speaker 3:It was hard, the uphills were painful. You wanted to cry If you, if you, if you were going uphill, you know you could walk right. If you're going downhill, you could kind of surf. So anyway, it was just kind of fun and I'm really enjoying it and I've got to the point where I think I'm in enough decent shape where I actually believe it or not look forward to going out and running. Um and uh, that's a big difference, kind of going from kind of like negative to neutral to, uh, you know, to positive. And I text you. The other day I went on a run and I told I joke when I, when I say rule of thirds, it means I'm in my bottom third, cause I wasn't too happy with my run or I didn't feel it. So everybody has that, but it was just really fun. The other thing, doug, I want to. You know, wasn't it cool talking to those ultra runners ahead of the race.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was cool Because they were different.
Speaker 3:It wasn't like, oh, I'm going to go hit this PR. Talk about some of the people we talked to about what their plans were for the day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you know I mentioned Ruben earlier. That's where we met him. And Ruben, it was cool, we were, that's what. We met him. I don't know if we met, we didn't meet him till the starting line, but we met his wife Starting line.
Speaker 2:It was a two and a half mile track, uh figure eight kind of loop thing. Uh, part of it was around an orchard and the other part was around a vineyard and, uh, as we were walking by we saw this cool little setup. You know, she had, uh, the lady was out there, they had like lawn chairs and a table and this uh RV thing, um, and food snacks, and then she had this little uh counter. You know where you flip the number and it counts one, two, three. So we assumed it was every time whoever was going to be running around the track they were going to mark the lap. And so we met her and I think, did we did Ruben come out right then for a quick handshake or something? I forget, but I do know that when we got to the the, because he did tell us about the hundred miles, I mean, we learned about that somewhere. I don't know if we learned about that at the starting line. Anyways. Uh, this was his second time. I think the first time he tried right, um, I don't think he he made it, he kind of bonked or something like that, and he was coming back to to hit it again and try a different strategy and he he knocked it out of the park, man and we'll. We'll hear all about his experience on the episode we bring him on in a couple of weeks. But, um, so that was Ruben.
Speaker 2:But uh, the there was another cool person that Eric met. I didn't get a chance to really talk with her. You guys were calling her Pinky. She had on this bright, fluorescent, like from the 80s pink shirt and she had her little radio stereo thing tied to her hip thing and she was blasting the 80s music man and she looked to the vibe and she was blasting the vibe and she was so fun to run next to man and no shame in her game and she was loving it. She would kind of even dance a little bit. You know, here and there when she'd, you know, a good song would come on and we were loving her vibe man and she, just, she was a steady Eddie. What was her thing, daryl? Didn't she sign up to do, uh, 30 miles, but yeah, she basically uh, she was crushing it.
Speaker 3:I remember when, uh, we were running, she was a little ahead of us and then she was behind us. She would like walk, run, walk, run. And whenever the photographer would come she would yell at him way in advance she goes, I'm going to jump. And she would run up and do this side jump to get caught in these pictures, right. And so she signed up. She wanted to run 30 miles and she signed up for 12 hours. She's like I don't care, I'll sign up for 24 hours if I need to. I'm going to be out here and I'm going to do 30 miles, right.
Speaker 3:I wasn't really worried about her pace and everything else. She was a pretty good runner. I thought she's going to do a pretty quick. But she says my goal is, I want to do, uh, do, 30 miles and I gave myself 12 hours to do it, right. So um met Evan, evan, very similar, uh he, um, uh him and his girlfriend. His girlfriend was there for support. He had tried the a hundred mile, didn't, didn't quite do it. He said he trained different this year and, believe it or not, like we hear a lot, he was going to go slower.
Speaker 3:He went too fast last year. So his whole thing and it was awesome to see him. I got some pictures, uh, when we were going together and we saw a couple of days uh after with the results that he did make it. So just a lot of different people that were super encouraging, um, so, uh, so it's fun. It was fun. We're definitely doing some more.
Speaker 3:But, um, let's go do one of the topics. Uh, you and I love, um, some of the, some of the people, uh, jesse, uh, who's a great um person, does a lot of things. Running man does a lot of spa things, bit big on the internet and on social media and everything else. He talks about his friend, kevin, right, and he's called the Kevin rule and he's like Kevin's winning life and I think we've mentioned it on here and Kevin's whole thing is, you know he's. He's like, hey, I like to schedule, you know, these mini adventures, right, and like, try something different every other month. And Jesse talks hey, if you're I don't know if you're 30 years old you do something a little different every other month. That six adventures, little things, guess what. You look back on it and guess what you live for the next 20, 40 years or something.
Speaker 3:You've got a lot of things and they talk about this whole concept of life resume, you know, and mini adventures. And to start off, I mean, doug, like the ultra running was man, I'd love to be able to say I did an ultra run, right. So that's a little mini adventure for us and it's cool to have those things in your life. But you and I are big on and it's not just about that. It could be like starting a podcast, right. Right, it could be. It could be something different. It doesn't have to be physical, but the Kevin's rule, you know, for the last couple of years we've been pretty good. We've always put together five to seven different mini adventures a year, some of them together, some of them separate, and it's cool. It's a cool life resume.
Speaker 2:But anyway, talk to me, is there a structure? So is there a structure around the mini adventure, like, or is there some, some, uh, some things you need to look for?
Speaker 3:that, the, the criteria, I guess yeah, I think, um, you know the things he talked about. I remember when they did is one of the things they uh. They said, hey, we're gonna go uh camping. Okay, well, that's not super mini adventures, but they decided to take their kids snow camping right, right so that's kind of different right Um you know, uh, participating in something normally, wouldn't you know?
Speaker 3:uh, uh, exploring a new area, or going to a cooking class. Maybe if you hadn't done that, um, just doing something that maybe you wouldn't have done before.
Speaker 2:Right and you kind of look back to do before.
Speaker 3:Exactly, exactly, so, um, so, yeah, it's, uh, it's pretty cool. I know that we're, for example, we're going to do death ride this year, um, which is one of our bike races, but we're already talking about next year. We're going to replace it with something new. Yes, right, we're going to try something new. Are we still going to cycle? Yeah, but we're going to try to do something different. So, um, but it's, uh, it's pretty cool, and I think we've, uh, somewhat incorporated some of these and uh, this, this trail running has got a little bit more of a bug in me, so I might have to turn this into a few different of these mini adventures. Um, but I don't know, doug, I mean, it's, it's cool to look back on the year and uh, and kind of think about, um, different things, and I like this concept of this life resume.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I was talking to my brother, Joe, earlier, Um, and he was talking about in in kind of in line with the life resume he was talking about. Uh, People used to look at lifespan, lifespan, you know how, how do I get myself to live, to be a hundred years old, 110 and 120 or whatever it is? And. But you know, it's not so much on how long you live, but how well you live while you're alive, right, Because what's the sense of being 80 or 90 years old if you can't do anything, man, If you can't participate in life? Or, even worse man, let's say you got to lose some limbs or you're hooked up to oxygen and you're just, you're confined to a fricking bed. Uh, that that gets a little scary, man, it gets, it gets me shaken and nervous, and that, uh, to make sure that what I'm doing is in line with my values, and and and on that note, uh, Daryl, you had mentioned something that Eric I think was kind of, is kind of locking in now.
Speaker 2:Uh, I know, I used to say, and I still do say, you know, and when somebody says hey, let's do this challenge or let's do this race, or let's do this cycling event or whatever. I always stop and say, well, why? Why do I want to do that? You know, how is this going to serve me, how is this connected to my myterm values and whatnot? But I'm kind of liking the way Eric is approaching it. And what is it that he says, Daryl?
Speaker 3:When we used to be riding and going up Prospector Hill. I don't know if you remember Prospector Hill is probably about a two-mile, remember a prospector hill is probably about a two mile uh, super steep. Two and a quarter, darrell, two and a quarter, two and a quarter. And whenever you get to it, um, it's always hot, I don't know why. It's always sun is blaring down on you and you're just going up this and Eric, when he used to climb it, he used to just scream out why, why, why are we doing this? Right? And on the podcast last week, um, you know he says, I used to always ask myself why he was not.
Speaker 3:I asked myself why not? If it's aligned to my goals and kind of what I'm after, why not? And so the concept of saying yes to new things more often, right, um, you know, in, in, in, in, I feel like that too. Um, and sometimes it's okay to say why or why am I doing that? Do I have a purpose and everything. But things are aligned. So I don't know. I think we're saying yes more and yes to new things, Right?
Speaker 2:And I think I like the, the why not? The why not is almost a F, not almost. I think it's more of a forward moving question Cause now youving question, because now you're trying to find answers to prove that you shouldn't do it. And that's going to be hard to do because most of the time, if it's something that's health-related, something that's good for you, something that's going to help you de-stress and become physically more fit, I mean those are typically talking between you and I. Anyways, those are core values. Those are core values. Those are core values.
Speaker 2:And I guess the only complications or conflicts I should say that might come up is you know, is it in conflict with my, with, in your case, with my daughter's school play, or is it in the conflict with, you know, spending quality time with my wife? Or a conflict hanging out with the boys, just socially and hanging out, um. So you know, those are the uh, but other than that man, it's it. You really have to have some strong evidence, um, or maybe an injury, to say you know, uh, you know, yes, I want to do it. I just can't right now. You know, I've got to wait for a later time. So I like that, that the why not, the why not question. I'll remember that when I'm climbing. Uh, speaking of prospector, those days are coming up soon, daryl, I know, I know, I know we're going to be hitting that in a damn hill soon.
Speaker 3:So I, um, I looked up and you know you hear a lot of these things. What are some of the benefits of doing? Uh, doing new things? Right yeah, and uh, man, I tell you what these really, a lot of these really speak to me just boosting kind of mental and emotional wellbeing, right Um, you know, kind of, you know, improving your social skills. Think about all the people we've met um doing events.
Speaker 3:If it's death ride, if it was the ultra runs, if it's a camping um, overcoming fear and embracing adventure, right Um, when we were going in desolation, wilderness and everything else. There's a few people on our team I'm not going to say they were like I'm going to go backpacking at night. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:It's like you know overcoming things and um. I was thinking it, that's for dancing. I didn't say it I was definitely thinking it the first time. Who's?
Speaker 3:got the bear spray? Who's got the bear spray? And, uh, you know, a sense of uh, purpose and meaning. So, um, you know, I really like us. Uh, I really, you know, I really enjoy cycling. We're going to get back to it. We're going to have a a real fun summer of cycling, but it's always really cool to do new things.
Speaker 2:It is, and you know the the cool thing, uh, another cool thing about doing new things is, you know, I think, if you practice doing that, like like Kevin's rule, if you, if you set it in your calendar I think his is every other month you're going to do a mini adventure. Um, like if, if, that, if you keep doing that consistently over a long period of time, all of a sudden you realize, or you become this person that's, that's not afraid to get uncomfortable anymore. You realize that all that fear about trying something new or trying something challenging is temporary, like it does, it's, it's actually meaningless, it doesn't have any. When, once you actually do the thing you were afraid to do or or hesitant to do, and you get to it, you're like what the hell was I waiting for? You know, and so it reminds us, or it should remind you that, for you know, and so it reminds us, or it should remind you that you know, fear is like this vapor man, and if you give it power, man, it will rule your life, it will rule your decisions and man, but just let it dissipate. You know, it's okay to feel fear. It's there for a reason, like if you're about to step off a bridge or an edge of a cliff, you better have some fear. But you know, but trying new things, man, that can trip you up and mess you up a little bit, so it'll help you get comfortable with being uncomfortable and being open to fail. We are going to fail some of the stuff, some of the stuff you're going to go out and try, and that's okay.
Speaker 2:Failure is not permanent, you know, and that's okay. Failure is not. Uh, it's not permanent, you know it's it's. It doesn't define who you are. It doesn't mean the trip or the adventure wasn't successful. You'll learn something. So continue to be open on that and uh, and move forward, move forward. Daryl, is there? Is there times that you can recall, um, when you tried something new I know, during COVID time you were, you know, because you got so much energy you were probably like a damn lion, pinned up in a cage, like I got to do something. So was there times you can recall when you, you know you tried new stuff and scared the hell out of you?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I remember boxing was an interesting thing. Josephine I've mentioned it got me a Groupon. I let it expire and then I finally went over to the place and they honored it and I started boxing and it was fun. And it was fun to get a workout. And then it was different. It was cool, it was right by my work. And then they invited me to spar and I was like, oh, I'm so nervous. I remember they invited me to spar on a Saturday. Hey, come down to the downtown gym and spar and be cool. So we did that.
Speaker 3:And then Angela, who was actually the owner, uh, before Jose took over um and turned into Jose Morales Boxing Academy, we were sitting there and we were, uh, we just got through sparring and, um, he said, hey, you ever think of? Uh, you know, like they would always say this you kind of go from working out to sparring. Would you ever want to have a, have a match Right? And he said to me he says, hey, you ever think about the fighting? There's a, there's a master's group, you know over 40, you could do. It's like, oh, I don't know, I think, I think, maybe, maybe I'll think about it. And he said to me, if not now, when he's like you're not getting any younger. And uh, I was like, oh man, so I thought about that.
Speaker 3:And I remember, I remember then it was when Jose came in I actually had a couple of fights and I'll just be real honest. You know there was one fight I had and I did really good and you know I won, and then I got a. I did another one and I was training for it and Jose had me going and it's called, you know, basically out of town sparring, so you go to somebody else's gym to go spar, right, so you feel real comfortable in your own gym.
Speaker 3:And then you go to another one and I did it three or four times and a couple of times I was, I did really good. And then one time I did okay, and I remember going this one and Jose's comment was that wasn't boxing, that was a fight. And uh, we were like the third or fourth round and we were just throwing, just throwing, and jose said to me he's like I knew that one of you guys were going to go down because this was not going to end well, right, and uh, all of a sudden, I remember jose picking me up off the mat, right didn't even I mean, I don't even remember what happened, I don't know what I got hit with, but he picked me up off the mat. And you know, here I am, I'm like I don't even remember what happened, I don't know what I got hit with, but he picked me up off the mat. And you know, here I am, I'm like I don't know 45, 46 years old and I'm fighting some 25 year old kid and I'm getting my butt kicked and we were doing good. But he, he caught me and I remember, uh, you know, after that Jose got me up, he says, okay, we're good, we're good, we're good.
Speaker 3:So, there and um, I was going home. I'm driving home and I'm mad. I'm like can't believe this, why am I doing this? And uh, next morning 4 30 alarm went off. I was like, oh, what do I do? What do I do? But on my stuff? And I was at the gym by 5 15. Right and uh, but man, I'll tell you what that was a long night, right and uh, and I now that back on it. That was one of my biggest things that I overcame.
Speaker 3:You know, it's like you know, overall I did something that scared me, um, realized that guess what you can. You know everybody can get taken out. And that was one of the best lessons. And it's funny because Dave and a couple of the other coaches um, they didn't say anything to me. I was jumping my rope and I was doing my stuff and I was getting ready and David came and he hit me on the back. He's like great to see you this morning.
Speaker 3:Right, he knew that he he'd already heard that I probably got you know, I, I took a, took a, took a beating the night before, didn't say anything, Right, and uh, so, yeah, it's, uh, it's good, I think, overcoming those things right, I think about that. I think I'm so proud of myself for for getting back up, literally getting back up, um, in those kinds of things there, so, uh, so it's good, I didn't know that, darrell, and you never told me about that story.
Speaker 2:That's that. That's, that's a damn cool story, man. Yeah and wow, talk about setbacks, because this whole season, you know, we, we got to sprinkle in some setback to come back there, but, uh, but that was uh, man, that definitely would have said a lot of people back and, and like you said it mentally, it was messing with you, man, and till even till the next morning, you're like what do I do? What do I do? And you suited up, that's what you did. You suited up, you went in and got it done and, man, you came back, brother, you came back and that's uh, I can't say enough about that. You know, that's, that's people, I think. When people don't try new things, if you don't try the new mini adventures, if you don't try things, you're afraid of man, you don't, you don't get to experience the joy and the lessons and and just, uh, you know, whatever it is, you get from something that you would have never tried. Yep, you know, um yeah.
Speaker 2:So I'm.
Speaker 3:I'm real excited. Uh, we got a lot of things on our plate. Um, we're about ready to cross over um to cycling in a couple of weeks and, uh, we better. Uh, like, like we said, doug, that death ride is not going to ride itself, so we're going to have to put together a nice good schedule for May and June. But I think we're all. I'm really enjoying some of the running things we're doing right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm definitely enjoying, I'm out. You know I'm a big. I'm just going to give a big shout out to the Vigil family out here in Arizona. Family out here in Arizona. They lost my dad's best friend, Billy. Vigil lost his wife kind of suddenly about a week and a half ago and his kids, who we consider family, they're our family and so we're out here just hanging out with them and just lots of love and prayers for the Vigil family out in Tempe Arizona. Just we're with you and we love you. Man, we are with you and we love you. But while I'm here, you know, darrell, I'm just doing my little four mile run, five mile run, just daily runs, getting it done.
Speaker 3:I'm excited we got some good guests coming up. I'm very excited to hear about some of these things. I still, when I think about a hundred miles, that's just way overwhelming. So that's going to be a very interesting thing with Ruben. So I know you're connecting with him and we'll get him on in the next couple weeks and we'll go from there.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes, yes. All right, so we're going to take it to the quote card right now. Daryl, this is a simple one, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts on it. If life can remove something you never expected to lose, it can also replace it with something you never dreamt of having. I'm going to say it again If life can remove something you never expected to lose, it can also replace it with something you never dreamt of having. What do you think of, darrell, when you hear that quote?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's um interesting, I think. Uh, overall, I don't think anything is given in life. Sometimes, um, you hear about um, hey, somebody lost something right. Um, you know whatever it is could be uh, fame, fortune or something, but you know what the you know that that's something that maybe they weren't planning on in their life, and so to me, I think it just kind of says that you know things in your life um can come and go and you just need to make sure that you're kind of grounded um be respectful and be thrilled of what you have, but if for some reason it gets taken away, you'll survive and something better even might come. So, overall, I think, overall the concept of focusing on yourself and don't get too attached to external things or things that might have come and been a windfall, or things that maybe you weren't expecting to have appreciate them, but overall you never know what's going to happen and just kind of treat every one day at a time. I love that.
