Yehwel: The biggest place i think i misplace attention is in rnally. Is that a good thing? For example, i'll come up with an idea, i just want to build businessas i want to bild som and i'm amazed at those who are able to just run out and execute on that. Where i spend probably too much of my time internally on the fear based, thinking the negatives, trying to avoid negative outcomes. So i'm curious about your opinion on when we change that attention and focus it inward and its value. Yehwel: Its it's the same brain system. It's the capacity to focus, its capacity to have goals.
