Speaker 1: I'm grateful for what I have, but I'm excited for
Speaker 1: what I'm growing for. There's this balanced approach. Notice how
Speaker 1: I'm not just putting forward the other extreme. Life isn't
Speaker 1: just about saying I'm at one extreme. How do I
Speaker 1: get to the other extreme? I'm negative, Let's get a positive.
Speaker 1: I'm not grateful, Let's be grateful. It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1: That's too simple. The answer is far more gray. The
Speaker 1: answer is not black and white. The answer is not
Speaker 1: on one or the other side. Hey, everyone, welcome back
Speaker 1: to On Purpose, to number one health podcast in the world.
Speaker 1: Thanks to each and every one of you that come
Speaker 1: back every week to listen, learn and grow. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for tuning in, turning up for your transformation.
Speaker 1: I am so so happy to get to spend this
Speaker 1: time with you every day, every week, multiple.
Speaker 2: Times a day maybe.
Speaker 1: And I want to thank all of you that have
Speaker 1: been leaving reviews. I'm always learning, I'm always trying to
Speaker 1: improve with your feedback, always trying to make this better.
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy that we've always kept this absolutely free.
Speaker 1: The podcast has been free since day one. You have
Speaker 1: over four and a half year's worth of content. That's
Speaker 1: available makes you go back and listen to incredible episodes
Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty nineteen and just last week.
Speaker 1: So today I want to talk about something really important.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the time we've heard
Speaker 1: a lot about positive thinking. It's all about positivity, they say.
Speaker 1: And I think as time's gone on, we've all realized
Speaker 1: that positivity or positive thinking doesn't really work, because when
Speaker 1: we tell someone to be positive, what we're telling them
Speaker 1: to do is think good things right Just be positive,
Speaker 1: ignore the negative, Ignore what's wrong in your life right now.
Speaker 1: Don't accept your emotions or your feelings, don't acknowledge what
Speaker 1: you're going through. Just be positi So someone says to
Speaker 1: you like, oh, I'm really worried that I may not
Speaker 1: get this job. Oh, just be positive, you'll get it.
Speaker 1: And then it comes around and they didn't get their job,
Speaker 1: and they said, well, I was being positive. Why didn't
Speaker 1: I get it? The truth is, maybe there was feedback,
Speaker 1: maybe there was a lesson, maybe there was learning. Maybe
Speaker 1: that job wasn't right for them, Maybe they didn't try
Speaker 1: hard enough. Maybe they needed to understand their feeling of
Speaker 1: worry and know how to transform it and move away
Speaker 1: from anxiety. But telling someone to be positive doesn't get
Speaker 1: them the result they want, and it stops them from
Speaker 1: dealing with the emotion right, Telling someone to be positive
Speaker 1: doesn't get them the result, and it stops them from
Speaker 1: acknowledging how they're feeling. So I think toxic positivity has
Speaker 1: been around for a long time, and often people assume
Speaker 1: if someone's telling you to think bigger or think more mindfully,
Speaker 1: than they're saying be positive. And I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the case. So I want you to know that today
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to be positive. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: you to just get you to think about the good
Speaker 1: things in life. That is not what I'm encouraging you
Speaker 1: to do, because I think there's a lot more to
Speaker 1: it than that simple statement. Now, there's three types of thinking,
Speaker 1: positive thinking, problem thinking, and possibility thinking. I want to
Speaker 1: talk to a bit about problem thinking, the opposite end.
Speaker 1: So if positivity is one extreme where you force yourself
Speaker 1: to just be like everything's gonna work out, everything's gonna
Speaker 1: be great, everything's amazing, right, which it isn't. You have
Speaker 1: to do stuff, you have to work through stuff, you
Speaker 1: have to figure things out. The other extreme is problem thinking,
Speaker 1: everything's a problem, or I can never do that. That's
Speaker 1: never gonna work out. That's impossible, that won't work for me.
Speaker 1: I can't do it, It's not gonna happen. Right, we do
Speaker 1: the opposite. Just as we were blindly being positive, we're
Speaker 1: now blindly being negative. Just as we were being positive
Speaker 1: for the being positive, we're now being negative for the
Speaker 1: sake of being negative. Right, there was no basis, There
Speaker 1: was no evidence to our positivity, and now there's no
Speaker 1: evidence to our problems. We just keep pointing out the problems.
Speaker 1: Even if someone presents a solution, we find the one
Speaker 1: negative in that solution, and it just continues to go.
Speaker 2: Round and around and round.
Speaker 1: So I want to present to you possibility thinking, right,
Speaker 1: the possibility mindset. This isn't imagination, this isn't delusion. Possibility
Speaker 1: mindset is saying, instead of being falsely positive, instead of
Speaker 1: being falsely negative or falsely problem looking or problem spotting,
Speaker 1: let me think in possibilities. Let me always look for
Speaker 1: possibilities instead of problems. Let me look for what could happen,
Speaker 1: what we could figure out. Let me look at what
Speaker 1: and how we could approach it differently, Let me look
Speaker 1: at what is possible. Let me look at the possible
Speaker 1: over the impossible. Let me look at what's probable instead
Speaker 1: of the impossible. Let me stop discounting or deflecting things
Speaker 1: as just being full of problems, and let me actually
Speaker 1: find the way. Now, the way I want to address
Speaker 1: this is I want to share this with you as
Speaker 1: if you have a possibility mindset or a problem mindset.
Speaker 1: So if you have a problem mindset, you will believe
Speaker 1: there is only one way. We do this in our careers,
Speaker 1: we do this in our passions, we do this in
Speaker 1: our marriages, we do this in our relationships. If you're
Speaker 1: someone who believes there is only one way, it means
Speaker 1: we're stuck in problem mindset. We believe this is the
Speaker 1: only path, and if this path doesn't work for us,
Speaker 1: then it will never work for us. We believe that
Speaker 1: this is the only job that will make us happy,
Speaker 1: and if we don't get this job, then we can't
Speaker 1: be happy. We believe that this is the only way
Speaker 1: we'll get to where we want to go to and
Speaker 1: if we don't go it this way, then it won't happen.
Speaker 1: If you are someone who believes there is only one
Speaker 1: way to get to where you want to go. You
Speaker 1: are living in problem mindset. Now, someone who's living in
Speaker 1: a possibility mindset will say, let me find another way.
Speaker 2: There must be another way.
Speaker 1: The back door, the trap door, the secret door, the
Speaker 1: revolving door. There are so many other doors than the
Speaker 1: front door. That is a possibility mindset. There's windows, right,
Speaker 1: there's cap flaps. I'm totally going off where you get
Speaker 1: the point. The idea is you want to train yourself
Speaker 1: to remember there's always another way, There's always another door,
Speaker 1: there's always another possibility. You have to look deeply search
Speaker 1: for that possibility. Thomas Edison once said, when you believe
Speaker 1: you've exhausted all options, remember this you haven't. I remember,
Speaker 1: at a certain point in my life I believed that
Speaker 1: the way to making a living was through having a job. Now,
Speaker 1: that's totally normal and totally fine, and there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with that, right, that's normal, and if you're successful at
Speaker 1: your job, things are going fine for you. That's actually
Speaker 1: an amazing way. But as someone who realized how insecure
Speaker 1: that was at times, I recognized that I needed to
Speaker 1: have multiple sources of income in order to be safe
Speaker 1: because I wasn't doing a job I loved or a
Speaker 1: job that I was doing, you know, propelling at and
Speaker 1: to me, this was a really really important learning that
Speaker 1: there was another way to live.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It never even occurred to me before that that you
Speaker 1: could have multiple revenue streams. So that was a way
Speaker 1: of living at one point in my life. As crazy
Speaker 1: as it sounds, I really didn't believe there were many jobs.
Speaker 1: In my head, you could only be in a couple
Speaker 1: of jobs, because everyone around tell me was in a
Speaker 1: couple of jobs. So I didn't even know you could
Speaker 1: be in media, or be in journalism or be in communications.
Speaker 1: I didn't know roles like that existed. It's fascinating to think,
Speaker 1: but it's true. I'm sure there are times in your
Speaker 1: life where you didn't believe there were certain types of
Speaker 1: music and you discovered a new type of music. And
Speaker 1: this is what it's all about, discovery. When we're living
Speaker 1: in a possibility mindset, we're allowing ourselves to discover, We're
Speaker 1: allowing ourselves to unravel reveal something. So I want you
Speaker 1: to think about where in your life have you developed
Speaker 1: a problem mindset where you look for the problems and
Speaker 1: you think, oh, this is the only way and it's
Speaker 1: not working. I've failed and how can you challenge yourself?
Speaker 1: How can you push yourself to actually look for the
Speaker 1: possibilities even when it seems like there are none. Right,
Speaker 1: remember those words of Thomas Edison. When you believe you've
Speaker 1: exhausted all options, remember this, you haven't. When you think
Speaker 1: you've exhausted all options, when you think you've been down
Speaker 1: every path, I promise you there's another one. If you
Speaker 1: really care about the goal, keep trying a new path.
Speaker 1: If you don't care about the goal, and change your goal.
Speaker 1: But if you care about the goal, keep finding a
Speaker 1: new path. Now, if you're living in a problem mindset,
Speaker 1: when you see a plan, when you see your goal,
Speaker 1: you actually just see a list of issues.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If you're living in a problem mindset, you're someone who,
Speaker 1: even though you have a goal, even though you have
Speaker 1: a habit, you want to build maybe of a physical goal,
Speaker 1: a mental goal, an emotional goal, a career goal. But
Speaker 1: all you do is you think, oh God, I got
Speaker 1: too much to do, Oh gosh I need to be there.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: Right. Instead, someone with the possibility mindset will list out
Speaker 1: all the areas of growth. They'll list out the skills
Speaker 1: that they have in order to get there, and they'll
Speaker 1: list out the gaps as well. Notice how that that's
Speaker 1: a different mindset. There's a different mindset between listing the
Speaker 1: issues and listing the problems and then listing areas of growth. Now,
Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to do as a practical step.
Speaker 1: Make a list of everything you have ever achieved. Right,
Speaker 1: make a list of everything you've ever achieved. It could
Speaker 1: be the developing of a skill, it could be a qualification,
Speaker 1: it could be a degree, whatever it may be. It
Speaker 1: could be a job promotion. And ask yourself two questions. One,
Speaker 1: what are the skills that you developed or have that
Speaker 1: helped you get there? And second of all, was that
Speaker 1: a traditional route you took or did you take an
Speaker 1: untraditional route. The first question is important because you have
Speaker 1: to realize that you have skills in order to get
Speaker 1: to where you want to get to, and some of
Speaker 1: the problems that you're pursuing or some of the problems
Speaker 1: you're facing, you actually have the skills to solve those problems.
Speaker 1: You've actually done that before. And the second question is
Speaker 1: important to help you realize that often you may have
Speaker 1: done things in a slightly different way. You might have
Speaker 1: done things in a roundabout way. There is plenty of
Speaker 1: possibility that you approach things differently. And when I practice
Speaker 1: my possibility mindset, if I have a goal, I always
Speaker 1: look at it and go, okay, what would I need
Speaker 1: to learn?
Speaker 2: Okay? What would I need to develop? Okay? Great? Where
Speaker 2: do I need to start? Right?
Speaker 1: Rather than looking at like, all right, this is going
Speaker 1: to get in the way, this is going to get
Speaker 1: in the way, I would say this is going to
Speaker 1: get in the way, but how do I create a
Speaker 1: plan around that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: That's the difference between possibility and positivity thinking. Positivity thinking
Speaker 1: is thinking, well, everything's going to go great, Everything's going
Speaker 1: to go to plan, there's no issues. Possibility thinking is yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that's a possibility, but how can I make
Speaker 1: it less of a probability?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: That's what possibility thinking is. I know that's a possibility.
Speaker 1: I know it's possible that things could go wrong, But
Speaker 1: how do I reduce that probability and actually have a
Speaker 1: proactivity approach to solving it if and when it happens.
Speaker 1: That's a possibility mindset. This segment about possibility is brought
Speaker 1: to you by AT and T. AT and T believes
Speaker 1: connecting changes everything. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy and
Speaker 1: our own harshest critics, and this self doubt often prevents
Speaker 1: us from reaching our full potential. It doesn't just affect
Speaker 1: us individually, it can also hold back our teams and
Speaker 1: entire organizations. This is what we call default thinking. It's
Speaker 1: when we get stuck in our usual ways of thinking,
Speaker 1: limiting our options, stifling creativity, and stopping us from exploring
Speaker 1: all the different ideas and opportunities that are out there.
Speaker 1: To open the door for more opportunities and possibilities, we
Speaker 1: need to shift from default thinking to scenario thinking. Scenario
Speaker 1: thinking simply means being able to think about multiple different
Speaker 1: possibilities at the same time and being ready to act
Speaker 1: when opportunities come our way. When you adopt this strategy,
Speaker 1: you start thinking what if instead of this is our
Speaker 1: only option or we don't have another choice. This change
Speaker 1: in how you think will gradually make you see things
Speaker 1: from a different perspective, one that's curious and open to
Speaker 1: new experiences. As you get used to this what if approach,
Speaker 1: you'll discover a whole world of options and solutions you
Speaker 1: might not have seen before. This newfound flexibility can be
Speaker 1: the key to achieving great success in your personal and
Speaker 1: professional life because it equips you to deal with the
Speaker 1: ever changing challenges and opportunities that come your way. So
Speaker 1: how do you make this shift a scenario thinking and
Speaker 1: open up more possibilities. Here are a few practical steps.
Speaker 1: Don't let fear hold you back. Face your fears and
Speaker 1: doubts head on. Understand that fear can often stop you
Speaker 1: from exploring new ideas. By acknowledging and pushing past these fears,
Speaker 1: you can start thinking about different options without hesitation.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 1: Think about what you want to achieve. Begin with a
Speaker 1: clear picture of what you want to accomplish. When you
Speaker 1: have a goal in mind, it's easier to explore different
Speaker 1: parts that can lead you there. Visualizing your success can
Speaker 1: motivate you to make changes.
Speaker 2: Three. Come up with different options. Actively.
Speaker 1: Brainstorm various possibilities, even ones that may seem a bit
Speaker 1: unusual or risky Initially. By considering a wide range of options,
Speaker 1: you increase your chances of finding creative solutions.
Speaker 2: Four.
Speaker 1: Identify and assess your stakeholders. Think about the people or
Speaker 1: groups who might be affected by your decisions or actions.
Speaker 1: Engage with them to get a variety of perspectives and feedback.
Speaker 1: This collaborative approach can help you make better, more informed choices.
Speaker 1: The next time you hit a roadblock, exercise those four
Speaker 1: ways to find more creative solutions for your next challenge.
Speaker 1: This has been brought to you by AT and T.
Speaker 1: AT and T believes connecting inspires, unites, heals, and helps
Speaker 1: us grow. Connecting changes how we live our lives for
Speaker 1: the better.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Someone who's got a problem mindset relies on doing things
Speaker 1: in the mind alone, and someone in the possibility mindset
Speaker 1: realizes you have to take action. So what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is, if you're thinking about problems, you usually
Speaker 1: just think about them in your head and you go, yeah,
Speaker 1: that one work, that won't work, that won't work, and
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure it out in your head. It's
Speaker 1: almost like mental gymnastics or mental arithmetic. It's like trying
Speaker 1: to solve a math problem in your head when you're
Speaker 1: not that good at math, right, And so what's so
Speaker 1: interesting about that is you just keep going round around
Speaker 1: in circles in your mind trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: Rather than just taking action.
Speaker 1: Again, it comes back to that proactive possibility mindset. How
Speaker 1: can we take action? How can we move forward. How
Speaker 1: can we just take one step? If you're struggling with
Speaker 1: problem thinking, it's because you're being blocked to actually take
Speaker 1: a step. The step could be ordering a book. The
Speaker 1: step could be taking a class. The step could be
Speaker 1: doing a course. The step could be trying it once right,
Speaker 1: the step, the action doesn't have to be a big risk.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you have to take on a huge
Speaker 1: burden or carry a huge weight. It can truly be
Speaker 1: the simplest step forward. So the next one is the problem.
Speaker 1: Mindset says nothing is ever enough. We always forget that
Speaker 1: where we are today is somewhere we once probably dreamed of. Right,
Speaker 1: there are things that you have achieved today that once
Speaker 1: upon a time you are ambitious to pursue. There are
Speaker 1: things that you have attained today that at one point
Speaker 1: you can believe you could get to. It could have
Speaker 1: been a job, it could have been a partner, it
Speaker 1: could have been a financial position. Please, please please think
Speaker 1: about this for a second. But nothing is ever enough.
Speaker 1: It's always about what's next. That's problem thinking. Why, Because
Speaker 1: if we're always wondering what's next, then even when we
Speaker 1: get to next will be lost in what's next. It
Speaker 1: just keeps going on and on, Whereas a possibility mindset says,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for what I have, but I'm excited for
Speaker 1: what i'm growing for. Right, I'm grateful for what I have,
Speaker 1: but I'm excited for what i'm growing for. There's this
Speaker 1: balanced approach. Notice how I'm not just putting forward the
Speaker 1: other extreme. Life isn't just about saying I'm at one extreme.
Speaker 1: How do I get to the other extreme? I'm negative,
Speaker 1: Let's get a positive. I'm not grateful, let's be grateful.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. That's too simple. The answer
Speaker 1: is far more gray. The answer is not black and white.
Speaker 1: The answer is not on one or the other side.
Speaker 1: So how can we really develop this mindset? The first
Speaker 1: is when you're grateful for what you have, you don't
Speaker 1: have to just be content. I think people mistake gratitude
Speaker 1: with saying I don't want more, Right, that's not what
Speaker 1: gratitude is. Gratitude is I appreciate where I am. I
Speaker 1: appreciate myself for half far I've come. If you're climbing
Speaker 1: up a mountain and half of the mountain you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to myself for getting half way up, You're
Speaker 1: going to get the energy. It's going to give you
Speaker 1: the boost you need to get the other half. Whereas
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it going gosh, I've still got
Speaker 1: half left to go. I haven't achieved anything. Do you
Speaker 1: think that mindset's gonna help rather than the mindset of
Speaker 1: this is amazing, I'm doing great.
Speaker 2: All right, let's push forward. Right.
Speaker 1: You can either motivate yourself out of love and compassion
Speaker 1: and gratitude, or you can motivate yourself out of fear
Speaker 1: and anxiety. Now, fear and anxiety get you started, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. They work, but they don't get you far.
Speaker 1: Fear and anxiety will get you started, but they won't
Speaker 1: get you far, whereas love gratitude will get you far
Speaker 1: on the journey of life. If you can talk to
Speaker 1: yourself with compassion, talk to yourself with grace, talk to
Speaker 1: yourself with love, you'll actually be able to push forward. Now,
Speaker 1: this is where it really shows up, and you might
Speaker 1: see this more on your friends, but I want you
Speaker 1: to notice in yourself. If you have a problem mindset,
Speaker 1: you're likely to discourage others when others share their ideas,
Speaker 1: when others share their thoughts, you might be like a
Speaker 1: that's never gonna work. Oh yeah, did you hear so
Speaker 1: and so's starting an app or did you know that
Speaker 1: person started a podcast, or did you know that person's
Speaker 1: trying out something. You know, whatever it may be, we'll
Speaker 1: find another way to constantly make it feel like that's
Speaker 1: not gonna work. And I think we do that all
Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes we do it, sometimes our friends do it.
Speaker 1: We kind of discount what is possible for other people.
Speaker 1: We talk down on other people's dreams, We make other
Speaker 1: people's beliefs feel like they're not going to work, right.
Speaker 1: I think this happens a lot, and it happens to
Speaker 1: many many of us where we just don't realize how
Speaker 1: limiting we are of other people because we've developed a
Speaker 1: problem mindset. Or when your friend tells you an idea,
Speaker 1: instead of thinking about how it could be good, you
Speaker 1: think about all the problems do you think you're helping?
Speaker 1: And by the way, telling someone the challenges they may
Speaker 1: face is a good thing, But you're not also taking
Speaker 1: a moment to say, well, that could work, that could happen,
Speaker 1: what about this?
Speaker 2: What about that?
Speaker 1: And by the way, the reason I'm saying this is
Speaker 1: I remember pitching my ideas to so many people who
Speaker 1: wrote me off. And I've seen how easy it is
Speaker 1: to write other people off as well. It doesn't take
Speaker 1: a brain cell to write someone off, yet we all
Speaker 1: do it. So a problem mindset person discourages others, whereas
Speaker 1: a possibility mindset person talks about the possibilities. Hey have
Speaker 1: you thought about this possibility? Hey, have you thought about
Speaker 1: this possibility? By the way, this possibility may be an
Speaker 1: obstacle or a challenge, and this possibility may be a
Speaker 1: way out. Have you thought about it like this? You're
Speaker 1: not telling them to do it or not to do it.
Speaker 1: You're not also replying and just saying, oh, you're amazing,
Speaker 1: this is the best idea. I wish you all the best.
Speaker 1: It's going to be incredible. You don't want to lie
Speaker 1: to your friends either. But think about that for a second,
Speaker 1: right When and how can you help others as opposed
Speaker 1: to discourage others. That's the problem versus the possibility mindset. Now,
Speaker 1: this one's a huge one. The problem mindset doesn't choose
Speaker 1: their words carefully. It chooses words carelessly, and the possibility
Speaker 1: mindset chooses thoughts and words extremely carefully. Look at the
Speaker 1: difference between this. You can either say I can't do
Speaker 1: this right, or you can say how can I do this?
Speaker 1: You can either say it won't work or what can
Speaker 1: I do to make it work? Notice how you're not
Speaker 1: just saying I can make anything work, I can do
Speaker 1: anything right. You're not just lying to yourself and again
Speaker 1: using these very empty statements. You're actually twisting the thought
Speaker 1: into a question. So instead of I can't do this,
Speaker 1: asking yourself how can I do this? Instead of saying
Speaker 1: that won't work? What can I do to make it work?
Speaker 1: Notice how when you turn it into a question, you
Speaker 1: take responsibility for your journey. You take accountability for your journey.
Speaker 1: You take this purpose to do something about it. So
Speaker 1: one of my friends asked me the other day. They
Speaker 1: were like, Jay, does this thought stuff really work? Now?
Speaker 1: I think the reason why people think this thought stuff
Speaker 1: doesn't work is people think it's spiritual, And actually it's
Speaker 1: more coding than it is spiritual. When you say something
Speaker 1: to your brain, when you say something in your mind,
Speaker 1: you are simply coding, right, That's what it is. You're
Speaker 1: saying something that you're going to repeat. And the question
Speaker 1: you want to ask yourself is is this coding? Is
Speaker 1: this repeated thought helping me get to where I want
Speaker 1: to get to. Chances are repeating I can't do this
Speaker 1: is not going to lead to something creative. Right, Chances
Speaker 1: of you saying this won't work means it probably won't work. Right.
Speaker 1: That isn't going to happen. So the question mark is
Speaker 1: can you do it by asking yourself the question? Right?
Speaker 2: Can you switch that mindset? Now?
Speaker 1: When you start to switch the thought to how do
Speaker 1: I do this? How do I figure it out?
Speaker 2: Guess what?
Speaker 1: You start figuring it out, you start answering the question.
Speaker 1: When you start answering the question, you start seeing change. Right,
Speaker 1: You start seeing change. So changing your thoughts is not
Speaker 1: just some spiritual activity. Changing your thoughts is rewiring your coding.
Speaker 1: Another thing you might find in the problem mindset of
Speaker 1: people around you is they think they're an expert. Right,
Speaker 1: they think they're an expert. Whereas people of the possibility
Speaker 1: mindset think like a beginner. A lot of problem mindset
Speaker 1: people will be like, oh yeah, that won't work because
Speaker 1: of this, this and this. Oh yeah, I saw that once.
Speaker 1: Whereas a possibility mindset goes I'm willing to learn, I'm
Speaker 1: ready to sit with masters to figure out what to
Speaker 1: do here, right, I'm willing to figure it out. And
Speaker 1: this also tips over to the next point, which is
Speaker 1: armchair philosophers. A lot of people. You may have a
Speaker 1: lot of friends who talk on WhatsApp groups, who talk
Speaker 1: on text groups, they're always just armchair philosophy.
Speaker 2: They don't take any action.
Speaker 1: They just talk big things, whereas a possibility mindset finds
Speaker 1: people who are doing big things. Right, ask yourself, are
Speaker 1: you surrounded by people who talk about big things? Or
Speaker 1: are you surrounded by people who do big things? And
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is even people who do
Speaker 1: big things have to talk about them first. But are
Speaker 1: you around people who just have big conversations, deep conversations
Speaker 1: in order to sound smart and feel like they're doing
Speaker 1: great work and make themselves feel smart and all the
Speaker 1: rest of it, or are you actually around people who
Speaker 1: are like taking strides in their life. If you want
Speaker 1: to grow, if you want to develop a positivity mindset,
Speaker 1: you have to be around people who think in possibility,
Speaker 1: who are making possibility happen, who are making shifts happen
Speaker 1: in your life and their life and everyone's lives. Right,
Speaker 1: it rubs off and in order to do that, we
Speaker 1: have to study people who made the impossible possible. We
Speaker 1: have to consider others crazy ideas to be possible. We
Speaker 1: have to find that abundance community, and I think so
Speaker 1: often we've just surrounded ourselves by so many people who
Speaker 1: are constantly negative and down about their own life, your life,
Speaker 1: everyone's life that we adopt that. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for listening to on Purpose today. I'm so grateful for
Speaker 1: your time and energy. Please share the practice that you
Speaker 1: will be putting interaction in your life.
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining again.
