It's like, oh, hang on a minute.

Yeah, this thing that I'm seeing as a problem, it's, again, literally the only tool that we have at our disposal that can even separate an object A and give it a label of a problem.

And, again, look to your own experience.

I'm sure every listener has been through a situation in their life when –

When they first learned about it, they were like, oh, my God, this is the most terrible thing that could possibly happen to me.

And then not long after, or maybe a long time after, I don't know, that same situation looks completely different.

I mean, when I...

When I left surgery all those years ago, the situation that I found myself in was awful.

You know, I just it was it was terrible.

And and, you know, I was like for ages, I was like, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

And it really wasn't long after that.

I was like, well, if that thing hadn't happened, I wouldn't be here now doing what I'm doing.

I'd have stayed there being unhappy as opposed to making a change.

Change doesn't tend to occur

When everything's like, well, it's okay, I suppose.

You know, change tends to occur when stuff gets really bad.

And when you look back and you've got some perspective, it's like, oh, well, that thing kind of had to happen for me in order for me to change.

And that's when you start to see these, what you could label as challenges, as gifts.

They're gifts for growth.

I mean, it's all an invitation to go on this exploration.
