Is a great question. When did you last feel that the world is full of possibility for what might come next, man. It's a tough one. As a first, responder I think, one of the things that we always look at as First Responders is we see the worsens and Society. We see the worst things happen and we respond to those and and at the same time, we have to look at the world from a different lens when we're away from the firehouse, when were away from the police station, all those things, Because the world and I'm talking from my perspective, the world looks a little more gray, a little more Bleak when I come home after long shifts, or when I come, when I'm done with all the struggles in the tragedy in the traumas. So being able to look at it full of possibilities, I think I have learned over time to look at the things that I can control. My dad, always, liked control the controllables, and it's so true, because Cuz there's certain things that are unknown and we can't control and there's certain things that we can our effort, and what we feel is possible and how we move towards that. And so, I think, for me, each day, I try to see that there's full of possibilities, and it's all on me to be able to have that positivity and the effort to put in to look at that as a positive mindset instead of a negative mindset.
