And I think that what we don\u2019t do is heed that search. We get off track. Capitalism takes us off track. You get off the \u201creal\u201d and get on the \u201cwheel.\u201d The \u201cwheel\u201d becomes the winning and losing, the succeeding and failing, the \u201cI will achieve.\u201d All that stuff becomes so preoccupying, particularly if you\u2019re born with low self-esteem, or no sense of yourself, or even if you\u2019re just born in the consumer culture. It\u2019s very powerful.What I would say to young women is: <i>Pay attention to the real. Pay attention to what you\u2019re really thirsting for. What do you really want?<\/i> And I think that\u2019s much harder to decipher in a culture that has no interest in it. What interests <i>me<\/i> is, are we going to wake in time? Are human beings going to wake up to ourselves, to the incredible poverty that\u2019s on this planet, to what we\u2019re doing to the earth, to what we\u2019re doing to women, to what we\u2019re doing to boys? That\u2019s what\u2019s important.If you listen to the real in you, that part that\u2019s pulsing and has questions and is trying to figure something out, it will shape your life in a way where, when you get to be sixty, you\u2019ll succeed.
