What appreciation really is

In this episode, Brad explains how learning to appreciate what he has allowed him to find the success he had been seeking. This is rooted in the recognition that good things happen when you see life as happening for you rather than to you.

We recognize that our circumstances, no matter how negative they may seem, can be gifts. This mindset shift makes it easier to see hidden opportunities and solve problems. Brad reminds us that no life is problem-free. What we want are high-quality problems that come with success.

What happens when we reframe our beliefs

Brad wants us to reexamine our beliefs. He explains how what we believe often leads to its inevitability. For instance, believing that money is hard to make will naturally lead you to take less action to earn more. However, a new story about money abundance would change the actions you take and lead to new results.

Brad has some suggestions to help reframe how we think. Start with a goal you’re excited about. Think about what achieving this goal would do for you. If it’s inspirational for you, then you’ll be motivated to see it through despite the problems that may arise. This, combined with an objective understanding of what your actual circumstances are, will prepare you to achieve anything.
