So what I can say to that is you are ultimately responsible for waking yourself up. What came before you is what it is—you can't change it—and you have to ask yourself, "Okay, I'm now at the turning point. What is gonna come after me?" Because that's what we have the decision to decide going forward.

That's a heavy responsibility, but that's what it means to be an adult. That's what it means to be an adult: to recognize that you have the responsibility at this moment in time to break the lineage from the past and decide, to some degree, what that direction is going to be going forward.

Another thing to understand about that is it's going to take a lot of self-discipline, work, and accountability. It's not going to happen by doing things that are just fun—drinking a bunch of alcohol, smoking a bunch of weed, going out and just having casual sex with lots of women, indulging basically in things that are just easy and pleasurable and make you feel good in the moment. That's not going to change the lineage.

That's just gonna drive it further into the ground. It's going to take self-reflection. It's going to take you listening inside, and, like we mentioned a moment ago, it's going to take you recognizing the few moments where you do experience a piece of masculinity with another man and say, "That's what I want. That's what I wish I had."

So I'm gonna take that in, and I'm now going to give that into the future towards all the men and women, and boys and girls, that I meet.
