7 Strategies to Stop Getting Drained by Your Problems & Focus on Possibilities
You might have heard the buzz about positive thinking, but have you ever wondered if it truly works?
People are often encouraged to visualize their goals, maintain an upbeat attitude, and affirm positive outcomes.
Today, I am going to share the power of shifting your thinking and the impact it has on our lives. We'll begin by dissecting the concept of thinking into three distinct types. It's an eye-opening revelation that sets the stage for our main topic - the Possibility Mindset. This mindset is a game-changer, a shift in thinking that can transform the way you approach life.
But, of course, not all thinking is beneficial. We'll delve into the Problem Mindset, dissecting the seven key elements that hold you back from your full potential. From only seeing the issues to choosing your words carelessly, we'll uncover how these habits can discourage not only yourself but also those around you.
The ultimate question we'll explore is the difference between talking about big things and actually doing them. So, get ready to challenge your thinking and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
In this episode, you'll learn:
What is possibility thinking
How to stop being a problem thinker
How to develop the possibility thinking
How to level up your doer mindset
Your mindset is a powerful tool, and by the end of this episode, you'll be armed with the knowledge to wield it effectively in your journey towards success.
With Love and Gratitude,

00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for what I have, but I'm excited for
2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: what I'm growing for. There's this balanced approach. Notice how
3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm not just putting forward the other extreme. Life isn't
4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: just about saying I'm at one extreme. How do I
5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: get to the other extreme? I'm negative, Let's get a positive.
6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: I'm not grateful, Let's be grateful. It doesn't work like that.
7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: That's too simple. The answer is far more gray. The
8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: answer is not black and white. The answer is not
9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: on one or the other side. Hey, everyone, welcome back
10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: to On Purpose, to number one health podcast in the world.
11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: Thanks to each and every one of you that come
12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: back every week to listen, learn and grow. Thank you
13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: so much for tuning in, turning up for your transformation.
14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: I am so so happy to get to spend this
15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: time with you every day, every week, multiple.
16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: Times a day maybe.
17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: And I want to thank all of you that have
18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: been leaving reviews. I'm always learning, I'm always trying to
19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: improve with your feedback, always trying to make this better.
20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy that we've always kept this absolutely free.
21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: The podcast has been free since day one. You have
22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: over four and a half year's worth of content. That's
23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: available makes you go back and listen to incredible episodes
24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty nineteen and just last week.
25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: So today I want to talk about something really important.
26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the time we've heard
27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot about positive thinking. It's all about positivity, they say.
28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: And I think as time's gone on, we've all realized
29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: that positivity or positive thinking doesn't really work, because when
30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: we tell someone to be positive, what we're telling them
31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: to do is think good things right Just be positive,
32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: ignore the negative, Ignore what's wrong in your life right now.
33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: Don't accept your emotions or your feelings, don't acknowledge what
34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: you're going through. Just be positi So someone says to
35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: you like, oh, I'm really worried that I may not
36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: get this job. Oh, just be positive, you'll get it.
37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: And then it comes around and they didn't get their job,
38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: and they said, well, I was being positive. Why didn't
39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: I get it? The truth is, maybe there was feedback,
40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: maybe there was a lesson, maybe there was learning. Maybe
41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: that job wasn't right for them, Maybe they didn't try
42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: hard enough. Maybe they needed to understand their feeling of
43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: worry and know how to transform it and move away
44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: from anxiety. But telling someone to be positive doesn't get
45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: them the result they want, and it stops them from
46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: dealing with the emotion right, Telling someone to be positive
47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: doesn't get them the result, and it stops them from
48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: acknowledging how they're feeling. So I think toxic positivity has
49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: been around for a long time, and often people assume
50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: if someone's telling you to think bigger or think more mindfully,
51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: than they're saying be positive. And I don't think that's
52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: the case. So I want you to know that today
53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to be positive. I'm not trying
54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you to just get you to think about the good
55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: things in life. That is not what I'm encouraging you
56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: to do, because I think there's a lot more to
57
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: it than that simple statement. Now, there's three types of thinking,
58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: positive thinking, problem thinking, and possibility thinking. I want to
59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: talk to a bit about problem thinking, the opposite end.
60
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: So if positivity is one extreme where you force yourself
61
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: to just be like everything's gonna work out, everything's gonna
62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: be great, everything's amazing, right, which it isn't. You have
63
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to do stuff, you have to work through stuff, you
64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: have to figure things out. The other extreme is problem thinking,
65
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: everything's a problem, or I can never do that. That's
66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: never gonna work out. That's impossible, that won't work for me.
67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I can't do it, It's not gonna happen. Right, we do
68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: the opposite. Just as we were blindly being positive, we're
69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: now blindly being negative. Just as we were being positive
70
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: for the being positive, we're now being negative for the
71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: sake of being negative. Right, there was no basis, There
72
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: was no evidence to our positivity, and now there's no
73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: evidence to our problems. We just keep pointing out the problems.
74
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Even if someone presents a solution, we find the one
75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: negative in that solution, and it just continues to go.
76
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: Round and around and round.
77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: So I want to present to you possibility thinking, right,
78
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: the possibility mindset. This isn't imagination, this isn't delusion. Possibility
79
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: mindset is saying, instead of being falsely positive, instead of
80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: being falsely negative or falsely problem looking or problem spotting,
81
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: let me think in possibilities. Let me always look for
82
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: possibilities instead of problems. Let me look for what could happen,
83
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: what we could figure out. Let me look at what
84
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: and how we could approach it differently, Let me look
85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: at what is possible. Let me look at the possible
86
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: over the impossible. Let me look at what's probable instead
87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: of the impossible. Let me stop discounting or deflecting things
88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: as just being full of problems, and let me actually
89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: find the way. Now, the way I want to address
90
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: this is I want to share this with you as
91
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: if you have a possibility mindset or a problem mindset.
92
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: So if you have a problem mindset, you will believe
93
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: there is only one way. We do this in our careers,
94
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: we do this in our passions, we do this in
95
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: our marriages, we do this in our relationships. If you're
96
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: someone who believes there is only one way, it means
97
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: we're stuck in problem mindset. We believe this is the
98
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: only path, and if this path doesn't work for us,
99
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: then it will never work for us. We believe that
100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: this is the only job that will make us happy,
101
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: and if we don't get this job, then we can't
102
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: be happy. We believe that this is the only way
103
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to where we want to go to and
104
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: if we don't go it this way, then it won't happen.
105
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: If you are someone who believes there is only one
106
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: way to get to where you want to go. You
107
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: are living in problem mindset. Now, someone who's living in
108
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: a possibility mindset will say, let me find another way.
109
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: There must be another way.
110
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: The back door, the trap door, the secret door, the
111
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: revolving door. There are so many other doors than the
112
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: front door. That is a possibility mindset. There's windows, right,
113
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: there's cap flaps. I'm totally going off where you get
114
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the point. The idea is you want to train yourself
115
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: to remember there's always another way, There's always another door,
116
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: there's always another possibility. You have to look deeply search
117
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: for that possibility. Thomas Edison once said, when you believe
118
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: you've exhausted all options, remember this you haven't. I remember,
119
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: at a certain point in my life I believed that
120
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: the way to making a living was through having a job. Now,
121
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: that's totally normal and totally fine, and there's nothing wrong
122
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: with that, right, that's normal, and if you're successful at
123
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: your job, things are going fine for you. That's actually
124
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: an amazing way. But as someone who realized how insecure
125
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: that was at times, I recognized that I needed to
126
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: have multiple sources of income in order to be safe
127
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: because I wasn't doing a job I loved or a
128
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: job that I was doing, you know, propelling at and
129
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: to me, this was a really really important learning that
130
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: there was another way to live.
131
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Right.
132
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: It never even occurred to me before that that you
133
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: could have multiple revenue streams. So that was a way
134
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: of living at one point in my life. As crazy
135
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: as it sounds, I really didn't believe there were many jobs.
136
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: In my head, you could only be in a couple
137
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: of jobs, because everyone around tell me was in a
138
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: couple of jobs. So I didn't even know you could
139
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: be in media, or be in journalism or be in communications.
140
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know roles like that existed. It's fascinating to think,
141
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: but it's true. I'm sure there are times in your
142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: life where you didn't believe there were certain types of
143
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: music and you discovered a new type of music. And
144
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: this is what it's all about, discovery. When we're living
145
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: in a possibility mindset, we're allowing ourselves to discover, We're
146
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: allowing ourselves to unravel reveal something. So I want you
147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: to think about where in your life have you developed
148
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: a problem mindset where you look for the problems and
149
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: you think, oh, this is the only way and it's
150
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: not working. I've failed and how can you challenge yourself?
151
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: How can you push yourself to actually look for the
152
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: possibilities even when it seems like there are none. Right,
153
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: remember those words of Thomas Edison. When you believe you've
154
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: exhausted all options, remember this, you haven't. When you think
155
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: you've exhausted all options, when you think you've been down
156
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: every path, I promise you there's another one. If you
157
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: really care about the goal, keep trying a new path.
158
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: If you don't care about the goal, and change your goal.
159
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: But if you care about the goal, keep finding a
160
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: new path. Now, if you're living in a problem mindset,
161
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: when you see a plan, when you see your goal,
162
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: you actually just see a list of issues.
163
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: Right.
164
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: If you're living in a problem mindset, you're someone who,
165
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: even though you have a goal, even though you have
166
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: a habit, you want to build maybe of a physical goal,
167
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: a mental goal, an emotional goal, a career goal. But
168
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: all you do is you think, oh God, I got
169
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: too much to do, Oh gosh I need to be there.
170
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's not going to happen.
171
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Right. Instead, someone with the possibility mindset will list out
172
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: all the areas of growth. They'll list out the skills
173
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: that they have in order to get there, and they'll
174
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: list out the gaps as well. Notice how that that's
175
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: a different mindset. There's a different mindset between listing the
176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: issues and listing the problems and then listing areas of growth. Now,
177
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to do as a practical step.
178
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Make a list of everything you have ever achieved. Right,
179
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: make a list of everything you've ever achieved. It could
180
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: be the developing of a skill, it could be a qualification,
181
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: it could be a degree, whatever it may be. It
182
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: could be a job promotion. And ask yourself two questions. One,
183
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: what are the skills that you developed or have that
184
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: helped you get there? And second of all, was that
185
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: a traditional route you took or did you take an
186
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: untraditional route. The first question is important because you have
187
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: to realize that you have skills in order to get
188
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to where you want to get to, and some of
189
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: the problems that you're pursuing or some of the problems
190
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: you're facing, you actually have the skills to solve those problems.
191
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: You've actually done that before. And the second question is
192
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: important to help you realize that often you may have
193
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: done things in a slightly different way. You might have
194
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: done things in a roundabout way. There is plenty of
195
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: possibility that you approach things differently. And when I practice
196
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: my possibility mindset, if I have a goal, I always
197
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: look at it and go, okay, what would I need
198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: to learn?
199
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay? What would I need to develop? Okay? Great? Where
200
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: do I need to start? Right?
201
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Rather than looking at like, all right, this is going
202
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: to get in the way, this is going to get
203
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: in the way, I would say this is going to
204
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: get in the way, but how do I create a
205
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: plan around that?
206
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: Right?
207
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: That's the difference between possibility and positivity thinking. Positivity thinking
208
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: is thinking, well, everything's going to go great, Everything's going
209
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: to go to plan, there's no issues. Possibility thinking is yeah,
210
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I know that's a possibility, but how can I make
211
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: it less of a probability?
212
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Right?
213
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: That's what possibility thinking is. I know that's a possibility.
214
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: I know it's possible that things could go wrong, But
215
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: how do I reduce that probability and actually have a
216
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: proactivity approach to solving it if and when it happens.
217
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: That's a possibility mindset. This segment about possibility is brought
218
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: to you by AT and T. AT and T believes
219
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: connecting changes everything. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy and
220
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: our own harshest critics, and this self doubt often prevents
221
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: us from reaching our full potential. It doesn't just affect
222
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: us individually, it can also hold back our teams and
223
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: entire organizations. This is what we call default thinking. It's
224
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: when we get stuck in our usual ways of thinking,
225
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,479
Speaker 1: limiting our options, stifling creativity, and stopping us from exploring
226
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: all the different ideas and opportunities that are out there.
227
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: To open the door for more opportunities and possibilities, we
228
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: need to shift from default thinking to scenario thinking. Scenario
229
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: thinking simply means being able to think about multiple different
230
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: possibilities at the same time and being ready to act
231
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: when opportunities come our way. When you adopt this strategy,
232
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: you start thinking what if instead of this is our
233
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: only option or we don't have another choice. This change
234
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: in how you think will gradually make you see things
235
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: from a different perspective, one that's curious and open to
236
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: new experiences. As you get used to this what if approach,
237
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: you'll discover a whole world of options and solutions you
238
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: might not have seen before. This newfound flexibility can be
239
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the key to achieving great success in your personal and
240
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: professional life because it equips you to deal with the
241
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: ever changing challenges and opportunities that come your way. So
242
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: how do you make this shift a scenario thinking and
243
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: open up more possibilities. Here are a few practical steps.
244
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Don't let fear hold you back. Face your fears and
245
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: doubts head on. Understand that fear can often stop you
246
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: from exploring new ideas. By acknowledging and pushing past these fears,
247
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: you can start thinking about different options without hesitation.
248
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: Two.
249
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: Think about what you want to achieve. Begin with a
250
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: clear picture of what you want to accomplish. When you
251
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: have a goal in mind, it's easier to explore different
252
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: parts that can lead you there. Visualizing your success can
253
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: motivate you to make changes.
254
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: Three. Come up with different options. Actively.
255
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Brainstorm various possibilities, even ones that may seem a bit
256
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: unusual or risky Initially. By considering a wide range of options,
257
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,479
Speaker 1: you increase your chances of finding creative solutions.
258
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: Four.
259
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Identify and assess your stakeholders. Think about the people or
260
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: groups who might be affected by your decisions or actions.
261
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Engage with them to get a variety of perspectives and feedback.
262
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: This collaborative approach can help you make better, more informed choices.
263
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: The next time you hit a roadblock, exercise those four
264
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: ways to find more creative solutions for your next challenge.
265
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: This has been brought to you by AT and T.
266
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: AT and T believes connecting inspires, unites, heals, and helps
267
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: us grow. Connecting changes how we live our lives for
268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: the better.
269
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: Now.
270
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Someone who's got a problem mindset relies on doing things
271
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: in the mind alone, and someone in the possibility mindset
272
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: realizes you have to take action. So what I mean
273
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: by that is, if you're thinking about problems, you usually
274
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: just think about them in your head and you go, yeah,
275
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: that one work, that won't work, that won't work, and
276
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure it out in your head. It's
277
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: almost like mental gymnastics or mental arithmetic. It's like trying
278
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: to solve a math problem in your head when you're
279
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: not that good at math, right, And so what's so
280
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: interesting about that is you just keep going round around
281
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: in circles in your mind trying to figure it out.
282
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: Rather than just taking action.
283
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Again, it comes back to that proactive possibility mindset. How
284
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: can we take action? How can we move forward. How
285
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: can we just take one step? If you're struggling with
286
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: problem thinking, it's because you're being blocked to actually take
287
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: a step. The step could be ordering a book. The
288
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: step could be taking a class. The step could be
289
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: doing a course. The step could be trying it once right,
290
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: the step, the action doesn't have to be a big risk.
291
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you have to take on a huge
292
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: burden or carry a huge weight. It can truly be
293
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the simplest step forward. So the next one is the problem.
294
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Mindset says nothing is ever enough. We always forget that
295
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: where we are today is somewhere we once probably dreamed of. Right,
296
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: there are things that you have achieved today that once
297
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: upon a time you are ambitious to pursue. There are
298
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: things that you have attained today that at one point
299
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: you can believe you could get to. It could have
300
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: been a job, it could have been a partner, it
301
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: could have been a financial position. Please, please please think
302
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: about this for a second. But nothing is ever enough.
303
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: It's always about what's next. That's problem thinking. Why, Because
304
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: if we're always wondering what's next, then even when we
305
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: get to next will be lost in what's next. It
306
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: just keeps going on and on, Whereas a possibility mindset says,
307
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for what I have, but I'm excited for
308
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: what i'm growing for. Right, I'm grateful for what I have,
309
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: but I'm excited for what i'm growing for. There's this
310
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: balanced approach. Notice how I'm not just putting forward the
311
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: other extreme. Life isn't just about saying I'm at one extreme.
312
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: How do I get to the other extreme? I'm negative,
313
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: Let's get a positive. I'm not grateful, let's be grateful.
314
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. That's too simple. The answer
315
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: is far more gray. The answer is not black and white.
316
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: The answer is not on one or the other side.
317
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: So how can we really develop this mindset? The first
318
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: is when you're grateful for what you have, you don't
319
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: have to just be content. I think people mistake gratitude
320
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: with saying I don't want more, Right, that's not what
321
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: gratitude is. Gratitude is I appreciate where I am. I
322
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: appreciate myself for half far I've come. If you're climbing
323
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: up a mountain and half of the mountain you're like,
324
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to myself for getting half way up, You're
325
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: going to get the energy. It's going to give you
326
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the boost you need to get the other half. Whereas
327
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it going gosh, I've still got
328
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: half left to go. I haven't achieved anything. Do you
329
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: think that mindset's gonna help rather than the mindset of
330
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: this is amazing, I'm doing great.
331
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's push forward. Right.
332
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: You can either motivate yourself out of love and compassion
333
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: and gratitude, or you can motivate yourself out of fear
334
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: and anxiety. Now, fear and anxiety get you started, don't
335
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: get me wrong. They work, but they don't get you far.
336
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Fear and anxiety will get you started, but they won't
337
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: get you far, whereas love gratitude will get you far
338
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: on the journey of life. If you can talk to
339
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: yourself with compassion, talk to yourself with grace, talk to
340
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: yourself with love, you'll actually be able to push forward. Now,
341
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: this is where it really shows up, and you might
342
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: see this more on your friends, but I want you
343
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: to notice in yourself. If you have a problem mindset,
344
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: you're likely to discourage others when others share their ideas,
345
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: when others share their thoughts, you might be like a
346
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: that's never gonna work. Oh yeah, did you hear so
347
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: and so's starting an app or did you know that
348
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: person started a podcast, or did you know that person's
349
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: trying out something. You know, whatever it may be, we'll
350
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: find another way to constantly make it feel like that's
351
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: not gonna work. And I think we do that all
352
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes we do it, sometimes our friends do it.
353
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: We kind of discount what is possible for other people.
354
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: We talk down on other people's dreams, We make other
355
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: people's beliefs feel like they're not going to work, right.
356
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: I think this happens a lot, and it happens to
357
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: many many of us where we just don't realize how
358
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: limiting we are of other people because we've developed a
359
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: problem mindset. Or when your friend tells you an idea,
360
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: instead of thinking about how it could be good, you
361
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: think about all the problems do you think you're helping?
362
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: And by the way, telling someone the challenges they may
363
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: face is a good thing, But you're not also taking
364
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: a moment to say, well, that could work, that could happen,
365
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: what about this?
366
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: What about that?
367
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: And by the way, the reason I'm saying this is
368
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: I remember pitching my ideas to so many people who
369
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: wrote me off. And I've seen how easy it is
370
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: to write other people off as well. It doesn't take
371
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: a brain cell to write someone off, yet we all
372
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: do it. So a problem mindset person discourages others, whereas
373
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: a possibility mindset person talks about the possibilities. Hey have
374
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: you thought about this possibility? Hey, have you thought about
375
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: this possibility? By the way, this possibility may be an
376
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: obstacle or a challenge, and this possibility may be a
377
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: way out. Have you thought about it like this? You're
378
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: not telling them to do it or not to do it.
379
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: You're not also replying and just saying, oh, you're amazing,
380
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: this is the best idea. I wish you all the best.
381
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be incredible. You don't want to lie
382
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: to your friends either. But think about that for a second,
383
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: right When and how can you help others as opposed
384
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: to discourage others. That's the problem versus the possibility mindset. Now,
385
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: this one's a huge one. The problem mindset doesn't choose
386
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: their words carefully. It chooses words carelessly, and the possibility
387
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: mindset chooses thoughts and words extremely carefully. Look at the
388
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: difference between this. You can either say I can't do
389
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: this right, or you can say how can I do this?
390
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: You can either say it won't work or what can
391
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: I do to make it work? Notice how you're not
392
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: just saying I can make anything work, I can do
393
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: anything right. You're not just lying to yourself and again
394
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: using these very empty statements. You're actually twisting the thought
395
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: into a question. So instead of I can't do this,
396
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: asking yourself how can I do this? Instead of saying
397
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: that won't work? What can I do to make it work?
398
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Notice how when you turn it into a question, you
399
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: take responsibility for your journey. You take accountability for your journey.
400
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: You take this purpose to do something about it. So
401
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: one of my friends asked me the other day. They
402
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: were like, Jay, does this thought stuff really work? Now?
403
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: I think the reason why people think this thought stuff
404
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: doesn't work is people think it's spiritual, And actually it's
405
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: more coding than it is spiritual. When you say something
406
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: to your brain, when you say something in your mind,
407
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: you are simply coding, right, That's what it is. You're
408
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: saying something that you're going to repeat. And the question
409
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: you want to ask yourself is is this coding? Is
410
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: this repeated thought helping me get to where I want
411
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: to get to. Chances are repeating I can't do this
412
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: is not going to lead to something creative. Right, Chances
413
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: of you saying this won't work means it probably won't work. Right.
414
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: That isn't going to happen. So the question mark is
415
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: can you do it by asking yourself the question? Right?
416
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Can you switch that mindset? Now?
417
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: When you start to switch the thought to how do
418
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: I do this? How do I figure it out?
419
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: Guess what?
420
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: You start figuring it out, you start answering the question.
421
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: When you start answering the question, you start seeing change. Right,
422
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: You start seeing change. So changing your thoughts is not
423
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: just some spiritual activity. Changing your thoughts is rewiring your coding.
424
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Another thing you might find in the problem mindset of
425
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: people around you is they think they're an expert. Right,
426
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: they think they're an expert. Whereas people of the possibility
427
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: mindset think like a beginner. A lot of problem mindset
428
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: people will be like, oh yeah, that won't work because
429
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: of this, this and this. Oh yeah, I saw that once.
430
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Whereas a possibility mindset goes I'm willing to learn, I'm
431
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: ready to sit with masters to figure out what to
432
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: do here, right, I'm willing to figure it out. And
433
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: this also tips over to the next point, which is
434
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: armchair philosophers. A lot of people. You may have a
435
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: lot of friends who talk on WhatsApp groups, who talk
436
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: on text groups, they're always just armchair philosophy.
437
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: They don't take any action.
438
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: They just talk big things, whereas a possibility mindset finds
439
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: people who are doing big things. Right, ask yourself, are
440
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: you surrounded by people who talk about big things? Or
441
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: are you surrounded by people who do big things? And
442
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is even people who do
443
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: big things have to talk about them first. But are
444
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: you around people who just have big conversations, deep conversations
445
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: in order to sound smart and feel like they're doing
446
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: great work and make themselves feel smart and all the
447
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: rest of it, or are you actually around people who
448
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: are like taking strides in their life. If you want
449
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: to grow, if you want to develop a positivity mindset,
450
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: you have to be around people who think in possibility,
451
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: who are making possibility happen, who are making shifts happen
452
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: in your life and their life and everyone's lives. Right,
453
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: it rubs off and in order to do that, we
454
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: have to study people who made the impossible possible. We
455
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: have to consider others crazy ideas to be possible. We
456
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: have to find that abundance community, and I think so
457
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: often we've just surrounded ourselves by so many people who

00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: are constantly negative and down about their own life, your life,
459
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: everyone's life that we adopt that. Thank you so much

462
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: will be putting interaction in your life.
