Dan Martell - Challenges can be used to fuel you up or bring you down

00:00:00.000 breakup, a divorce, a car crash, anything that creates massive pain. In that moment, you either

00:00:07.000 decide to spiral up or spiral down. Most people don't even see the difference because they're like,

00:00:12.900 I'm in a bad space. I need some time to recoup, et cetera, which is fine. I would just encourage

00:00:17.000 you to decide how much time do you need? Because after that amount of time that is normal, then

00:00:23.220 you're just staying in those feelings and you're spiraling down. Most people wake up one day and

00:00:28.040 they're 35 pounds overweight. They're lonely. They don't have any friends. They're working a

00:00:32.680 job they hate. And there was a day where that spiral down started, but they didn't know that

00:00:38.200 day. I'm always worried that that day could be today. So I'm always trying to figure out how do

00:00:42.300 I spiral up? And I think for a lot of people, especially when they get divorced, these are

00:00:46.020 moments where you have a blank slate opportunity to recreate yourself. Anybody that's ever moved

00:00:51.440 cities has felt that power of recreating yourself. That is a positive upward spiral in action.

00:00:58.040 But most people never see it that way.
