Welcome to the Habit of Possibility podcast, the show where we explore how to turn obstacles into opportunities to create a better life and career. I'm your host, Robbie Spear-Miller.
00:00:27
Speaker
Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, whose journey from shy student to physician, investor, and entrepreneur is a great example of how to take the next step and let the learnings from your experiences guide you.
00:00:42
Speaker
Hello, everybody. I'm Robbie Spear-Miller, your host for the Habit of Possibility podcast. And today I have Dr. Sandeep Kapoor.
Journey from Shyness to Independence
00:00:50
Speaker
And we're going to be talking about how he's been able to um respond to life in really resourceful ways, even in tough circumstances or with very limited resources.
00:01:01
Speaker
He's managed to create some very impressive and very diverse ah things and experiences. So we're going to explore how he did that, the way of looking at things that helped him do that.
00:01:14
Speaker
So welcome, Sandeep. Thank you. and Thank you for having me here. Yeah. Thanks for coming. Yeah. So tell us a little bit of background about, you know, how you learned how to interact with life the way that you do.
00:01:28
Speaker
um Starting way back when I was in school, or like a teenager, I was a shy person. And then I got into medical college away from home. And you're on your own.
00:01:40
Speaker
And that actually um opened up, I think, horizon for me where I'm interacting with people. And um someone told me that if you have to grow a big, you have to be out of the shade of a big tree. So when you're away from your parents, they are always protecting you. but when you are open in the world um is It's a different world and then your own and you learn your ways how to um handle situations in life. And I think getting training in a medical school and I had a ah not a smooth ride during my medical school.
00:02:15
Speaker
It was tough for me, and but I survived. And because of, I think, those a few incidents in my life, which were almost like life-changing events for me, and that opened up where I looked life at more positively, always.
Metaphors of Growth and Transformation
00:02:33
Speaker
I love that metaphor about the the tree and the shade because i I do see a lot of people here who um I think our culture here encourages people to stay very connected with their family or dependent on their family.
00:02:48
Speaker
And that metaphor really expresses it beautifully that if you really want to grow into a big tree, you need to get out of the shade of... your family. And, um you know, from a subconscious hypnosis point of view, that's very true because if we stay around our family, then all of the, we're kind of, be if we're the child, we're still, all the things that remind us of being a child are happening subconsciously. So it's a lot harder to really step into the shoes of being an an independent adult.
00:03:16
Speaker
So, right yeah. Yeah. So tell us more about some of those experiences you had. So in medical school, like as I told you, we were independent and we were learning about life.
00:03:29
Speaker
The most beautiful experience which I had is when we opened up a human body for the first time in my anatomy class. And I was an atheist before getting into medical school.
00:03:41
Speaker
But when we opened up the body and and we could see all the organs in front of you, And i was wondering like how it is working. And the brain if you open up your skull, the brain is just like, a as you feel, rubber.
00:03:57
Speaker
And there are so many amazing functions of the brain. It really amazes what is happening here, how this thing is happening, who's who created this, actually. So by just looking at the body, the way it function that um at ah um um a you know cellular level and how everything has been planned, like I just thought about the creator who made this actually.
00:04:21
Speaker
At such a fine a microscopic level, the planning has been done. And that amazed me and that was attracted me towards a higher force. People may call it God or nature whatever.
00:04:34
Speaker
And then I knew there is a higher power, which is guiding over life. and And then I learned another thing is that life is just like a play.
00:04:46
Speaker
And you have been given a role to play. And sometimes you're given a role of a king and sometimes you're given a role role of a maid. So it's just a play.
00:04:58
Speaker
So play your role, um you know, in a very positive manner. And if you but don't complain. So when you complain, then you are actually spoiling the whole play.
00:05:11
Speaker
So just play along and the way life happens and keep patience. ah Play your role well and then probably you'll get a better role next time. when the opportunity comes. And that's what life has taught me through all these years, that um keep on playing your role well, do hard work, and whatever comes in front of you, um you should perform to the full capability you you can.
00:05:37
Speaker
and same time learning and improving and that's the way I look forward to life. I look forward to almost every day in my life as a new day where I have to perform and um to the best of my ability and yeah so this is so Yeah, I think that's a really great way to approach life. And what I'm curious about, Sandeep, is that you are you have reinvented yourself multiple times in your life and you've been extremely successful here in business. I know in Canada, i you know I'd love to hear more about your story from before then.
00:06:15
Speaker
But you can't build a business without making decisions and being the leader, right? So um i I love your metaphor about we're all in a play playing a role. And I want to learn more about how you see that fitting with being in a leadership role. Because sometimes we need to decide to be a leader and just decide to make things happen.
00:06:37
Speaker
And what is that like for you? How does that fit into this philosophy?
Leadership and Risk-Taking
00:06:40
Speaker
So every leader has some qualities. And those qualities are like not innate. you you Some people are born with qualities, so they I would say they're innate.
00:06:50
Speaker
But lot of people lot of qualities you acquire during course of your ah life, your education and your environment. And for me, I was lucky enough that first is getting into a medical school, highly competitive in India.
00:07:05
Speaker
than getting into practice. So when I was in practice, I was seeing almost 40 to 50 patients in a day. And when you interact with so many people um in a single day, you meet all kinds of people, happy people or mostly sad people come to doctors and learning from their stories and everything and then guiding them all the way.
00:07:25
Speaker
ah to make them feel better, make them comfortable, which was my goal as a physician. um realized that I have more capabilities than I rely ah i know myself.
00:07:37
Speaker
So I have to explore myself. and and um And I i think and it's not only that i you live once. um You live once, sorry.
00:07:49
Speaker
So I would say you live only once, but this is only lifetime you have. to explore all the opportunities you can create for yourself and explore your own capabilities.
00:08:01
Speaker
And I started as a small venture um by expanding my practice, buying more sports specialty clinic in my city, and which were initially they were a failure.
00:08:13
Speaker
um Then I tried my hands on real estate. My family was really against it. And um then I really learned from one investment where I made good money, I learned how the real estate behaves, what is demand and supply.
00:08:28
Speaker
So that was another thing which I experienced in India. When I was planning now to come coming to Canada, I knew as a physician it was going to be really hard to get into practice right away. It's going to take many years to for a foreign medical graduate to get into practice.
00:08:44
Speaker
So I have to figure out something else. And I was always looking forward to doing something else in my life because I had almost 16 years of practice. And I was thinking maybe I could do something else, which is more interesting.
00:08:55
Speaker
or This is the only life you live. So I came in around 2012. I got my permanent residency in Canada. And then I went back because I believed that I had a better lifestyle, but Canada kept on calling me.
00:09:11
Speaker
um I again came back in 2014 and I started doing some research in real estate, how we can invest. I did my first investment in 2015. two thousand fifteen um buying a small detached home.
00:09:26
Speaker
And um in fact, I could see how things have moved in India. So I applied the same um kind of formula, which I use in India to for investment.
00:09:38
Speaker
I identified the right place, right timing, right location. And I knew Canada is going to grow. I could foresee that because I had seen India changing in late ninety s and two thousand So when people move in, how things move and how real estate moves.
00:09:55
Speaker
And I started investing in 2016. We started buying a small detached home and I went back to India in three, four months. i We renovated that house and we sold. We made good money. We almost doubled our money in three, four months time actually.
Real Estate Ventures and Strategies
00:10:12
Speaker
wow So, which was really surprising for me. And that's what attracted me. And we started into buying more and more real estate. and Initially, just flipping properties, renovating and selling them.
00:10:25
Speaker
And eventually, that was not something I always wanted to do. But all along this, I had a great mentor here who guided me. Like, this is your stepping stone. um Let your money work for you rather than you work for money.
00:10:39
Speaker
So, I was working with a goal in the mine that I don't want to be working ah like a daily 9 to 5 job or sitting in my clinic. So this is something I was looking for where I can get freedom from working for money. so So real estate is something which gave opened up that opportunity d for me.
00:10:58
Speaker
And from flipping real estate, we got into ah buying real estate. rental properties. um So we bought multiple residential properties all the way in Windsor, then in Kingston, and then in City of Lakeshore and Windsor-Essex area.
00:11:15
Speaker
And over the time, I found few friends here who were also going through the same kind of situation where they wanted to get out of their jobs. And I offered them opportunity Why don't you guys join me?
00:11:28
Speaker
And because they saw me growing and they happily joined me. And so I had a first partner. Then I had a third partner like that who wasn't doing anything, who got laid off from his job as why don't you join me? And he joined me and we grew We started, um we our pool of money started to grow bigger and we started to get into bigger projects.
00:11:50
Speaker
and So right now we have more than, um I have around more than 70 residential units, which I own, and we manage them as rental properties. So this was just the beginning.
00:12:02
Speaker
Wow, so you did all of that in nine years or less? Yeah, yeah got eight and a half, nine years. Eight and a half, nine years, and you have 70 properties. Yeah, so that's that's only part of ah real estate, which ah we own, but eventually we got into...
00:12:18
Speaker
land development. it's Because once you you get into one real estate opportunity, you have many doors ah opening for you. So during the course of time, people started coming to me like, hey, we want to invest with you or we have this opportunity available. Would you like to do this?
00:12:35
Speaker
So now ah today i make detached homes, custom luxury detached homes in Toronto or in Mississauga.
00:12:46
Speaker
And that's something which really, um you know, intriguing for me because um you you are turning something which is and nothing to make ah you're making something really beautiful it's very creative and i enjoy the creative part of building detached homes we are also doing um um land development in ontario and in alberta and our group is growing bigger i started with one person eight years ago where i have now
00:13:18
Speaker
um 10 to 11 people who invest with me. and the group is growing bigger every day, actually. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah.
00:13:28
Speaker
So when we look at how you've interacted with playing your role in life, um you've you've had these different experiences and you're attracted to having experiences in life. And as you do, it's showing you where your abilities are or where you can grow and stretch and you're willing to do what it takes to do that so you have this curiosity and you're you're you're trusting that you're going to find the the direction that helps you realize what you've been given because we we all have these natural abilities sometimes we don't even know we have them yes if you're enjoying this podcast please like and follow us and post a review so other people can find us too
00:14:13
Speaker
I think life keeps on throwing opportunities at you, but we fail to recognize those opportunities. We don't grab them. Yeah. Over the course of time, I realized that there are so many opportunities.
00:14:25
Speaker
It's just that we we are scared. We have a fear of losing. For me, I realized that, you know, you will you will not win always.
00:14:36
Speaker
You will lose sometimes. And it's okay to lose. Yeah. Yeah. When you suffer losses, it's not a financial thing, but you you learned a lot. You gained a lot of wisdom. So don't be afraid of, um you know, suffering losses or know it's a learning curve.
00:14:55
Speaker
And now I'm more careful
Setbacks as Opportunities
00:14:58
Speaker
when I'm doing more investments and is making me more and more, um I would say, um i take risk because you make money only when you take risk, so but I take calculated risk. And now I have that experience where I know I'm not gonna do those mistakes again.
00:15:16
Speaker
And it's okay to lose. I came with nothing. Right. So it's it's okay to lose sometimes because I you always say that life is like sinusoidal wave.
00:15:27
Speaker
Sometimes you're down, but you're bound to go up. But just keep your patience, keep on working, and doors will open for you. Yeah. And what I love about this is that whenever things went well or didn't go well, you didn't think it was about you as a person, like a judgment of you.
00:15:44
Speaker
You saw, oh, i I'm doing this, I'm learning. And sometimes you're riding the wave, like if the real estate market's going up, right? Some ah some of it is just what's happening around you And then learning from the the things that don't go as well, but but not getting caught in it.
00:16:01
Speaker
So I think when people struggle, they get caught up in how they feel about themselves or they doubt themselves. And you're really trusting the the direction. What I've found is that a lot of people who get caught in their own head or they debate or doubt themselves, they waste their life away and it becomes kind of like fruit rotting on the vine because life goes by and time goes by. And whatever natural abilities or talents or situations you've been given, like here in Canada, if you live here,
00:16:32
Speaker
In so many ways, we have so many opportunities just because we live here. um And then whatever other things you've been given, um to really be willing to honor that and take advantage of that is, i think, I look at that as a a spiritual, natural thing to do to to honor that.
00:16:55
Speaker
So life, I would say Canada offers you amazing opportunity and people who live in Canada, they don't realize that. You do not have such kind of an environment. It's the perfect place to be an entrepreneur.
00:17:10
Speaker
This is one of the best place for any immigrant um to bring it in your plan and put it in a place and try it out. from I travel to lot of other places. i I've been to U.S. I found that place.
00:17:24
Speaker
um People find a lot of opportunities there. But for me, Canada has been like heaven, actually. So now looking back, And um there there is always, um um you know, whenever you are, if you are positive about your life, you want to do something and your mind is focused, you will have opportunities for one of you.
00:17:51
Speaker
When we just, we keep on thinking, don't get stuck in the past. That's what I would say. um You want to move forward. You want to take your foot up from the ground and move forward also. But if you're just thinking and not doing anything.
00:18:04
Speaker
So personally, I would like to move forward, take my foot off the ground from my past, look up to the future and take care of my present. But same time, stay focused because what God has given us,
00:18:15
Speaker
a lot of capabilities. Our mind has amazing capabilities. we remain focused. Things happen in life. Like i when I came in here, i came here alone.
00:18:26
Speaker
I had no friends, no relatives, nobody. And I came with really little very little money actually in Canada. But I was focused that I want to do this and this is going to happen. but And I met people, I made friends, wonderful friends.
00:18:40
Speaker
And my experience has been amazing. And that is all, I think I would, I would, um it's all attributed to staying focused on what I wanted to do.
00:18:52
Speaker
And, um, um And I like your um idea because sometimes we are stuck in the past, something wrong happened to us. So I would like to share, but before coming to Canada in 2012, I started a first plant for scrap tire recycling.
00:19:11
Speaker
We used to make a crude doll because when you recycle um scrap tires. So you you can, because tires are, whatever is actually produced from a petroleum, petroleum is a petroleum by-product. But you can reverse the technology and you can recycle back and you can make crude oil out of that.
00:19:29
Speaker
So I discovered and that technology is there and I was practicing that time. But um I was very and inquisitive about that technology. So I traveled to Bulgaria to see how things are working. There are people are doing prototype plants there.
00:19:44
Speaker
ah So I established first recycling plant, tire recycling plant in India. And spent a lot of money in bringing um that plant up. It's sort fully automated.
00:19:55
Speaker
We were recycling 10 tenths of scrap tires every day. and But it didn't run for a single day. boom Every time we tried, we lost lot of money. This is just before coming to Canada.
00:20:07
Speaker
yeah And i suffered, like we we had to sell that whole plot in a scrap. And it was a big loss for me, but I never gave up. So I took that money, which we got from selling it for a scrap. I bring brought i brought that money to Canada.
00:20:24
Speaker
So moral of the story is that you will be suffering losses, but don't give up. if If something has happened in your life, move forward. Because if I hadn't suffered those losses, I would have been sitting in India, running probably something else or handling labor.
00:20:40
Speaker
yeah And actually, I didn't like that. Once I started that, I didn't like that. ah And we suffered losses. but That was fine with me. I wanted to move forward. I came with that money here.
Investment Diversification & Mentorship
00:20:50
Speaker
And I invested that money in buying real estate.
00:20:53
Speaker
Yeah. So I would say and when something happens in life where we are ah thinking, oh, this is so negative, why did it happen to me? It happened for a reason. Mm-hmm.
00:21:04
Speaker
It taught you a lot of lessons and maybe it wasn't meant for you, but it guided your life. So my life was supposed to be in Canada. So it's it's the direction it was taking.
00:21:14
Speaker
So I would say go with the flow, have a strong faith. You are here for a purpose and there are amazing opportunities available. Try to explore those opportunities, try to meet people, talk to them and opportunities open up for you.
00:21:30
Speaker
Yeah, and it's almost like you look at life kind of like you're in the sandbox, right? And you're going, hey, what else is there in the playground? What else can I play with? What else can I discover or explore? And you're confidently doing that. and And if if you're on one playground structure and it's not working, you just move to another one and you're finding the ones that you really like connect with. Yeah.
00:21:52
Speaker
um and and willingness to follow through, because I'm sure with real estate, I'm sure not everything went great for you. With real estate, I'm sure there were ups and downs, even though you've done amazing.
00:22:03
Speaker
um to to Some people i judge what's happening too soon, yeah and they give up, and then they keep jumping from thing to thing to thing, or they retreat to their old job to safety. Right.
00:22:17
Speaker
So, Robby, I would suggest that planning is very important in life. You should definitely plan things ahead. And you should have a plan A and plan B. You were talking about real estate not doing very well.
00:22:29
Speaker
ah We know that. That's why we plan things ahead. Yeah. So let's say I'm buying something. I'm buying a real estate. Generally, I buy it for rental purpose. But we do a lot of land development.
00:22:40
Speaker
So land development may not be doing well these days, but the rentals are doing. So something else is doing well. Plus, we we know that market is not always going up. There are going going to be you know moments when the market is down.
00:22:53
Speaker
And we are always ready for that. So you have to diversify your investments. So don't put all your eggs in one basket. So similarly, we in real estate, we diversify in rentals and new constructions.
00:23:06
Speaker
So we go slow on new construction these days. We know it's not selling. at the same time, our rentals are doing pretty well. So that balances out. um So if you plan things well, I think such kind of times when the market is down, you can easily survive.
00:23:22
Speaker
And if you can survive these timings, you're going to do pretty well when the market bounces back. Just stay there, hold on to it. And it's very important the same time, you should have a good mentor who can guide you.
00:23:34
Speaker
I was lucky that I was looking for somebody I found. and And whenever like I have a issue, I go to him. Same time I have. A lot of people who who I'm teaching them how to invest in real estate.
00:23:47
Speaker
And when they have a problem, they reach out to me. yeah So it's it's just that we I personally believe by sharing knowledge and sharing your experience, it grows. Right. You have a support system in place, and which is how we do things here. We help a lot of people build their various kinds of businesses, including hypnosis businesses and many others.
00:24:08
Speaker
And that support system and that feedback helps you stay focused because otherwise if you're just left to your own devices, you might not see what you need to see or you might get stuck in some way. so and And it's really helpful to get help from somebody who's ahead of you their development that they've had more experience than you.
00:24:31
Speaker
So, yeah. Yeah. So what I'm getting from your story is that with everything, you just keep moving and you're you're trusting the signposts. Like whatever is happening, whether it's going well or not so well, the signposts are guiding you to what you need to focus on next, right? Or what you need to learn. And you're just trusting that. So it's not a big crisis.
00:24:54
Speaker
You're just trusting what's happening. And you know there's always other opportunities. Yeah. And you just keep going. And and I think that's a really helpful way. So I think this is the way ah life is, which I understand as of now, is life is about finding solutions.
00:25:10
Speaker
Find solutions. Every problem has a solution. If it doesn't have a solution, then you can't do anything about it. But if it is't there is a solution, try to find it. But you cannot fix everything in life. Mm-hmm.
00:25:22
Speaker
yeah It is not meant to be fixed. Then leave it. So this is what I think. like Keep on working toward finding a solution. And definitely that will take you a long, long way.
00:25:34
Speaker
And be confident as you're finding the solution. yeah Yeah. Yeah. Great. Is there anything else you want to share with us? I would say sharing, we talked about sharing your knowledge and experiences with people because money is just, ah I would say, a byproduct of your entrepreneurship or your activities.
00:25:56
Speaker
But over the time, I've realized that money cannot bring you peace and happiness. So what we are looking for is peace and happiness, right?
00:26:08
Speaker
So try to do something where you feel happy. And in my experience, happiness comes with sharing. So share, if you have us more financial freedom, share it with others.
00:26:21
Speaker
In a sense, the people who really need it you share your money with them. If you have a lot of knowledge, you share your knowledge. So when you share, things grow.
00:26:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm. So and then it gives me a lot of, I would say, happiness. Real happiness is when you see somebody, you guide it well, and he has grown in life. That gives you happiness.
00:26:46
Speaker
So that happiness doesn't come from money. Money gives you a temporary or momentary. it It can give you pleasure and a lot of good things in life. But that should not be the only motto in life.
00:26:58
Speaker
Yeah, it it gives you choices. And, you know, for example, Sandeep, years ago, probably about 25 years ago, my husband and I, we experimented with owning rental properties. And very quickly, we realized that we were not the people to do that. Like we just did not enjoy that whole package.
00:27:17
Speaker
And so we when I got pregnant with my older son, we said, OK, we can't prioritize this anymore. So we sold our properties. And we we would have made a lot of money if we kept them. But we just knew it wasn't for us.
00:27:31
Speaker
And I think that was a good decision for us, even though we, you know, I'm sure we would be wealthier at this moment if we had kept them. right um And so I think trusting that direction as well is really important because you want to enjoy your life. but You want to enjoy the work you're doing and and feel generous about it.
00:27:51
Speaker
And so finding what that means for each person really helps. Yeah. Because we we have to work with, the we know there's ah inflation and it's eating away your, even if you have money stacked up somewhere, it's eating away your money.
00:28:07
Speaker
So the only, the best way where safely you can hedge against inflation is buying, one of the ways to buying real estate. It's a tangible asset. And we know the population in the world is growing.
00:28:20
Speaker
We are eight and a half billion people almost there. Land is not growing. So as the world progresses, more and more people need more and more space and nobody can make land.
00:28:34
Speaker
So this goes back to ah a story which one of my colleagues in India told me that buy land. And he asked me why, you know, why a landlord is called a landlord.
00:28:45
Speaker
because um only Lord can make land and on this earth you own the land that's why you call Lord here and this is how the term in England probably came in there because you're Lord because you own the largest piece of land.
00:29:00
Speaker
You can tell that, is that the idea? This is um how I started actually and that really idea got into my mind that I want to be a landlord. oh And this is a tangible asset. it will It will take care of you, even if you are unable to work.
00:29:15
Speaker
But try holding your asset for a long period. It's not a short term thing, it's a long period. So you have to do a lot of planning, your financial planning. how you're going to do it. If you can't do it alone, I would say do it with friends, ah do it with family, um or find new people who are ready to invest with you and share your wealth with them and share your knowledge with them.
00:29:39
Speaker
And this is a way to move forward. Yeah, yeah. And you can create more as a team than you can by yourself. and So the power of of teaming up with people who are like-minded and motivated can be really great.
Embracing Life's Journey & Conclusion
00:29:53
Speaker
Because doing in a team has effects which are like snowballing. So I just give you an example. When I was doing projects alone, I was doing projects for, let's say, half million.
00:30:04
Speaker
Right now we're doing projects up to 20 to 25 million. But of course we're doing it in a group. But our or returns are based on our investments. So returns are pretty pretty high. So this is all the best way is to team up with the positive, right-minded people whom you can get along and you can do.
00:30:22
Speaker
investment it may not be real estate it could be a lot of other things you could do starting a new venture or um you know any other business you think you are good at and which you enjoy so more important thing is which is more so people mostly enjoy things which are more creative which can affect other people's lives apart from making money so something you enjoy that can be turned into an entrepreneurship Yeah, yeah so So trust that the signposts that you come across will point you to what role you're playing in the play and what play you're in, right? And we discover it as we go. We don't get to choose that. But if we don't listen to those signposts, then it's like we we might be jumping from play to play to play or role to role to role, or maybe we might be stuck in a role that's not really the one we're meant to be in.
00:31:12
Speaker
Another thing I like is if you have some idea, just put it on a paper and focus your energies. And I've seen that whenever I have some idea, I just pen it down.
00:31:24
Speaker
ah Then I start working on it and things just start happening. I start meeting people whom I was thinking that, oh, if I meet them, probably I can accomplish this. So putting idea on paper is the first um a thing you can do.
00:31:39
Speaker
Convert your thought into um a written document. And that's the way to move forward and then start working towards it. Yeah, well, your example is a great one of what's possible when you make a decision and you just do it and you keep going and keep building and collaborate.
00:31:57
Speaker
And it's, you know, would you have been able to predict what you built? Like when you started and you brought that whatever amount of money to Canada and made your first investment, did you envision having this many properties at that time?
00:32:12
Speaker
ah Not actually when I started. I just wanted a basic or return. I had no plans to be in Canada. It just happened and I went with the flow. yeah ah But I knew the possibility um that it could go to that level, but I had never...
00:32:30
Speaker
vision that it will go to this particular level. ah there There was a possibility. But now, but but because that signpost is always moving ahead and ahead. yeah um There's so much you could do.
00:32:42
Speaker
um But I'm trying to now share what I know with other people because i my kids have grown up now. they They are well settled. They're doing pretty well.
00:32:53
Speaker
So I'm thinking now to share my knowledge because this this is something I want to do where I want to multiply. with more and more people. And it'll be one of my best moments life when I see people who I have guided, they have surpassed me.
00:33:11
Speaker
Right. Yes. Yeah. It's it's wonderful let's to see that brochure. Yeah. And um so you you really have been willing to follow the signposts.
00:33:23
Speaker
And as as you do that, you're discovering there's way more than you thought. Right. You're going way further. So you don't necessarily need to know the whole picture from the beginning. You just need the first steps.
00:33:34
Speaker
and So that's that's the wonderful part. and That's the kind of secret. And excitement has to be there. yeah if I have known, oh, this is what I'm going to achieve, then my excitement is gone. Right, because there's no mystery. Yeah, yeah because it's very important to enjoy the journey.
00:33:50
Speaker
Because when you when you reach your destination, your excitement is gone. That's right. So the most important thing is try to enjoy what you're doing. So every day, every moment is a journey. When you're trying to achieve something, you're traveling towards your destination.
00:34:03
Speaker
Yeah. so that's the best part, actually. And it's a choice to be in life that way. And we could apply this to relationships. We could apply it hobbies or to dealing with money, just money in general.
00:34:16
Speaker
um in in so many ways, we can apply it to taking care of our own health. and So I think it's a wonderful way to interact with life. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you.
