“Yeah, but…”
An optimist sees the glass half full, but a successful person takes it to the next level. People typically see the world in two frames...
Opportunity frame
Problem frame
We need both frames to grow consistently. Inaction can be the result of a perpetual problem frame.
The growing person can transition between the two frames and still keep momentum.
Pro Tip: be present with what "is" and move forward with an "as if" mindset. If you catch yourself saying "yeah, but…”, you're likely stuck in the problem frame.
