Daily Mind Medicine Episode 35 The Risk of Opportunity
===

[00:00:00] What's up, crew? Hey, just before you listen to this episode, I'm going to take you back in time. People ask me all the time, like, what's the one piece of advice you would give me to, you know, see your success, to see your team, see there's like, what's the one thing that you did that made the difference?

[00:00:44] Which is a silly question because there's really never one thing. That's, there's never one thing. It's multiple things, but there are a couple of linchpins that made the biggest difference and most of them are how I made choices, how I dealt with risk, the people I surrounded myself with. And so this episode is a blast from the past, but it's more effective now than it's ever been.

[00:01:06] It's titled the risk of opportunity. Ignore this at your own risk. I want to teach you how to take advantage of opportunity in your life. Check it out.

[00:01:16] coming at you from NashVegas, Tennessee. Oh, a beautiful place to be a beautiful place to be. If you haven't been here, you got to come hang out and visit. But, uh, lately I have been reminded of a certain truth. That I had to learn the hard way when I was first starting out.

[00:01:34] And some things you have to learn more than once, but some things you learn and you just have to be reminded of. It's not that I forgot about this. It's just that I've been reminded about this. And, uh, it comes down to this certain people in your worlds, no matter the evidence presented, no matter the data, no matter what is real, certain people in your worlds are, full on addicted, married to this worst case possible scenario to the point where they have cognitive dissonance when they're faced with something good, something true, something honorable, something exciting.

[00:02:21] There are certain people in your world today who no matter what you say, no matter what's going on, they will slant things to see the negative. They will. Bias themselves to constantly see the risks. And there's nothing wrong by friends with seeing risks. So long as you do not see the risks at the exclusion of opportunity, because let's be honest, you get in your car and you start that car.

[00:02:43] You have just taken a risk car could have blown up. You get into the car, you get into the street, you are taking another risk. You can get slammed by a semi you open the door. There could be lightning. You close the door, you could stick your hand in the door and cut your hand off at the door. My friends, what is wrong with people is not their risk and everything.

[00:03:04] Everything poses a risk. The problem is not seeing risk. The problem is seeing risk at the complete exclusion. of opportunity. And so many people, especially right now, are just taunting the bad, the negative, the unfortunate, the bad side, the downside. But they're not looking at the opportunities that still exist in your day to day.

[00:03:26] To smile at a person because you finally have time to do so. To text a friend that you have been thinking about for a while, but you haven't texted them because life has been too crazy busy. 

[00:03:36] Hey, real quick, we'll get right back to this in just a second. But did you know that I still do these daily mind medicines every day?

[00:04:39] Enjoy this. See you later.

[00:04:41] It's time for you to allow the people who are addicted to their chronic negativity to live there. Most of my problems in life have not even been caused by these people who are stuck in negativity.

[00:04:53] No, it's been caused by me trying to repeatedly save someone who does not want to be saved. It's been caused, my problems have been caused by me trying to pull someone out of the sinking sand, but they want to be there. You cannot save someone who does not want to be saved. It's better to allow them to live the way that they have a vision of their life to live, which is apparently on the negative side of things.

[00:05:16] I'm just reminded by this, and this is not necessarily an, uh, hoorah inspiring is get out of your car and slam trees into the ground. Cause you're so worked up, but I want to give you permission to distance yourself a little bit. From the people in life who are carrying around this chronic negativity, who are trying to enforce their negative perspective on you, be free of that.

[00:05:38] There might be nothing you can do from them, or there might be nothing you can do for them, but there is something you can do for yourself. And it's just to be okay with letting certain people be who they are and you be who you are meant to be and let them be who they choose to be. So I got for your friends.

[00:05:52] Keep your head up. Keep hope. Let's push forward. See ya.
