Do you have a plan? Do you say hey? I'm going to the gym today. I 50 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Have to get this homework done. I have to get back to this person via email.

They should be going but in reality unfortunately 62 00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:16,540 It's quite the opposite you're just running in a circle 63 00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:19,220 You're on a hamster wheel running in the same way 64 00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:25,500 But because time is passing and you're quote moving forward because time is moving you think that you're actually taking a step forward 65 00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:31,020 Towards your goal problem is it's not true too many people.
