  • To pay attention
  • Ideal story
  • Identify the essential and      pull it out from the rest
  • Find the noble in yourself,      find the sacred in yourself
  • Be disappointed when you do      not find and use your better self, the path to meaning in life
  • Be vulnerable, find      connection, grow from those connections
    • Have those people help you       see your blind spots
    • Look to find the monsters      inside of yourself, not in those around you
      • Identity politics: trump and       the Mexicans
      • Kennedy, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
      • In this path of taking       responsibility, you will find meaning
      • And from the meaning can       flow peace
        • After you examine your life        a thousand times

              • We know very little
              • We make up most of it
              • Everything is a story we        construct in our head
              • Does that make it unreal or        does that just make a story a story
              • A story is our reality.
