We will get these moments of [music] dissatisfaction or discomfort and be like, "I'm life sucks. I need to change
00:00:05
something." If you don't like your life in general, change something. [music] But, if you don't like your life today,
00:00:10
maybe don't break up with your wife. Human beings our internal feelings are like the
00:00:14
weather. There's sunny days and there's rainy [music] days and there's rainy seasons and there's sunny seasons
00:00:20
and we go through them all. And [music] even if things get better, our baseline adjusts.
00:00:26
So, if you think about this as [music] a year and we have all the days of the year,
00:00:31
half the days are going to be above average >> [music] >> and half the days are going to be below
00:00:34
average. Every month, you're going to have a bottom [music] 10% day three times.
00:00:40
Cuz you have 36 days per year that are going to be [music] bottom 10% days for no reason, purely because law
00:00:47
of large numbers. >> [music] >> And you're also going to have three days per month, which is almost one a week,
00:00:51
that's going to be top 10% day of the whole year. That's one a week, almost. [music] And so, I think about this
00:00:55
variability a lot because when I'm having a quote bad day, cuz I have I have I have them all the time. And I
00:01:01
just think, [music] this is probably just a bottom 10% day. One of the lessons that I've learned from an
00:01:05
entrepreneurship perspective [music] translated into life is my emotional discomfort is not an adequate reason to
00:01:10
change what I'm doing. We will get these moments of dissatisfaction or discomfort
00:01:14
and be like, "I'm life sucks. I need to [music] change something." If you don't like your life in general, change
00:01:19
something. But, if you don't like your life today, maybe don't break up with your wife.
00:01:23
Maybe you give [music] it a day. People will have a bad day and then basically take it out on their business and then
00:01:28
change a bunch of things and then destroy [music] what they're what this fledgling
00:01:31
business that's getting going because they had an emotional need that they could not tolerate. Is my bottom 10% day
00:01:36
a big [music] enough thing for me to change my behavior? If I determine that I can have a bad day
00:01:40
and still do good work, [music] that is a good day.
