Dan Martell - Be Grateful for the Bigger Problems.

00:00:00.000 If the $10 cell phone bill overage is going to ruin your day,

00:00:03.640 you ain't ever going to get the $10 million tax bill.

00:00:06.280 But if you get a $10 million tax bill,

00:00:07.840 that means you made like 90 million bucks.

00:00:09.960 Oprah got sued once for, I think it was Mad Cow.

00:00:12.300 She like off all the meat people.

00:00:13.800 They sued her for a billion dollars.

00:00:15.260 And somebody asked her once, aren't you stressed out?

00:00:17.300 You're getting sued for a billion dollars.

00:00:18.620 And her response was, I'm grateful to be the person

00:00:21.440 that could be sued for a billion dollars.

00:00:23.240 Anytime something meaningful happens, like a challenge,

00:00:26.840 I call them puzzles.

00:00:27.720 I think that's a great reframe.

00:00:28.860 Anytime I have a massive puzzle, I go, we're the opponent.

00:00:32.640 Sometimes people get into this mode of everything's going, everything's easy,

00:00:37.480 and they forget it might last six, seven years.

00:00:39.480 I know some friends, it's like they haven't dealt with anything meaningful in a while

00:00:42.340 because they just, hey, things are good, I'm happy, don't mess with it.

00:00:46.060 Where's the opportunity for you to develop?

00:00:48.260 It's literally to the level of your problems will decide who you need to become to overcome them,

00:00:53.200 and I call those worthy opponents.
