Accept Suffering Without Letting It Run Your Life

I have spent a huge amount of mental resources accepting suffering and not saying that there's something wrong with something bad. Like a huge amount of mental resources gone into this because my I I've I've been better and faster at correcting the loop of like oh I am not happy with this particular thing and therefore there is something wrong.

0:00I have spent a huge amount of mental resources accepting suffering and not saying that there's something wrong with something bad. Like a huge amount of mental resources gone into this because my I I've I've been better and faster at correcting the loop of like oh I am not happy with this particular thing and therefore there is something wrong. >> Yeah. So fix the story that I tell myself as opposed to fix the thing. And that's been um super helpful with the addition of everything that I remember will always be better than it was.

0:36And the nice thing is that there's tons of science that backs this up, which is that we learn uh through reward and punishment. Punishment fades with time, no matter how bad it was. Like you get drunk, you get hung over, you say, "I'll never drink again." 7 days later you're out drinking again. Why? The punishment of the hangover fades quickly. you are with somebody for a while, you're like, "This is crazy." Or this guy is crazy. And then you break up and then all of a sudden, what do you remember?

1:03The good times. Because reward sticks. And in some ways, there's a little bit of a hopeful message there, which is that when you look back on your life, you will disproportionately remember the good times. But it only becomes a problem if you lament the present, which is the only thing you've ever actually lived in. >> That's the fading affect bias. Tragedy plus time equals comedy is the closest thing psychology has to an equation. >> Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. What the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it and then what steps we actually took to graduate.

1:50And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brickandmortar, all of this, and it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free.
