00:00:00.000 So I want you to think about the top 10 bad decisions you made in your life.
00:00:02.880 Which one of those decisions were you more happy when you made that decision?
00:00:05.880 Or were you more angry when you made that decision?
00:00:07.900 Meaning, for example, you're partying, you're going, things are going great,
00:00:11.640 you're so happy, guy offers you drugs, you do it, you get addicted,
00:00:14.940 you lose three years of your life, hypothetically.
00:00:16.860 Or you're so angry at somebody, you end up making a dumb decision with a relationship
00:00:21.520 and it costs you one of your best friends, an ex, a relationship with a relative.
00:00:26.260 Which of those two feelings, emotions, produce worse decisions for you?
00:00:30.920 So I'm sharing this with you, not only from the standpoint of an individual,
00:00:34.700 as well as as a leader.
00:00:36.960 So any time, like for myself, when we're kids, you know,
00:00:40.820 when we go to our parents or to our dad for money, you're like, oh, dad looks happy.
00:00:45.040 He's in a good mood.
00:00:45.980 Hey, dad, can I get $100?
00:00:47.440 You know, I want to go out there and do this.
00:00:48.580 Yeah, son, here's $100.
00:00:50.400 And then later on, turn like, why did I give my son $100?
00:00:52.620 But the kid capitalized because that was in good mood.
00:00:54.660 That's what I'm talking about.
00:00:55.780 Or you're angry, like, I can't believe this is what happened.
00:00:58.220 And you go through that process.
00:01:00.380 Anytime you're trying to do this as an individual or a leader,
00:01:03.840 the best place for my experience to be when making a decision
00:01:06.760 is to be here as closely to independent and middle as possible.
00:01:11.380 Too angry, you make decisions.
00:01:12.880 You typically burn something and you're going to overreact to it.
00:01:16.180 Too happy, you're going to make decisions.
00:01:18.000 You're probably going to be too optimistic thinking everything is going to work out.
00:01:21.700 Maybe it's a good idea to use one phrase before you make that decision.
00:01:25.180 And you know what that simple phrase is?
00:01:27.160 Let me think about it.
00:01:28.440 Let me give back to you.
00:01:29.780 Let me simmer on this.
00:01:31.500 Give me a day.
00:01:32.680 So whether it's happy or extremely angry, take a few hours.
00:01:37.100 Take a few minutes.
00:01:38.240 Take maybe a day to make the decision.
00:01:40.160 Probably a day later, you're going to make the better decision than in that moment
00:01:43.480 when you're angry or in that moment when you're happy.
