It's really easy to find what's wrong with the world. We know that. It's really easy to find what's wrong with the people around you. But what if you shifted that framework and your obsession was to find what's right? Welcome to the Dean Graziosi show. All success starts right here. Today, I want to go over three simple habits that you need to implement in your life if you want the level of life that you crave. We all want the overnight magic that feels great to say it, but it doesn't exist. This is what exists. So I have three habits for you. Find the good. Now find the good. What does that have to do with making more money? Here's why. I know unsuccessful people. Figure out what's wrong with the world. Figure out why people are holding them back. Figure out why the advice they got is bad. Figure out why the president is bad or the economy is bad or where they live is bad. And it's like our subconscious is designed for that. So I want to just throw that away. I want to give you a new rule. Like, you've heard this before, but maybe right now is the first time you ever really heard it, and you decide to implement it in your life if you want that life you crave. So find the good. You see, it's really easy to find what's wrong with the world. We know that. It's really easy to find what's wrong with the people around you. But what if you shifted that framework and your obsession was to find what's right, to find what's good. To look for the good in people rather than the bad. To look for the good in the marketing strategies that you're working on. Look for the good in your family, even though they're a pain in the ass sometimes, but they're trying to protect you, as simple as that little shift sounds, you're like, oh, Dean, I thought you were going to tell me how to make money. I am. I am telling you how to make money. And I'm telling you how to be happy. And I'm telling you how to thrive when other people struggle. And when the economy turns like it's gonna. You could be the one ahead. Because you're gonna have to find the good when the whole world is finding what's wrong. So one simple hack today, this week obsess on looking for the good. Number two, don't blame that. We are a society of. And I'm right in there with you. I'm not saying, oh, look at you and not me, but We're a society of finding blame and whose fault is it? And blaming those people around us and blaming our circumstances and blaming our parents and blaming the way where we were brought up and blaming our girlfriend, our boyfriend, our husband, our wife for not supporting us. We find a way to blame and we don't do one thing enough, we don't look in the mirror enough and take full responsibility for our lives. So I'm going to encourage you as the second thing, the second habit to incorporate into your life. Start looking in the mirror. Don't blame other people, blame ourselves, but in a positive way, like blame ourselves. Take ownership of your success, ownership of your failure. Realize that what if everything was designed for you to go through all the shit you had to deal with, all the things that went wrong, all the people that let you down, the circumstances growing up. What if it was all designed to make you the perfect version of you? The person that would be listening to a podcast like this, the person that's ready to go to another level. And what if just today you heard this before, but today you said, oh, wow, this maze of my life was designed for me because I'm here today. I'm taking ownership. I'm not blaming anybody. Here's the cool part about not blaming anybody else. You can't imagine the stress that goes off you. It's all on me. My company does great. It's on me. I get to celebrate. If it goes bad, it's on me. I can't celebrate when it goes right and blame other people when it goes wrong. I got to take full responsibility for all of it. And the pressure, the stress that goes away is unbelievable. The third thing, I want you to listen for clues. What does that mean? Listen for clues. You see, you know the saying, success leaves clues? That was Jim Rohn said it and taught Tony Robbins and Tony Robbins pushes it. But it does, because here's what I know we will. Our subconscious wants to lean back towards the clues of why it didn't work. See, I knew that wouldn't work. And you're not smart enough and you didn't go to school for that or see, your parents told you you should have got that, taken that job. So we subconsciously look for clues of failure. But what if you shifted that and listened for the clues, watched for the clues? That success does leave clues all over the place. It leaves clues in other people, right? Obsess on. If you want to be in the fitness world, find somebody doing amazing in the fitness world, making great money, has a good life, and really doing it. And look for the clues that they leave behind. They're like breadcrumbs. The clues are everywhere. If you want to be in real estate, you can model me and some of the things I've done. If you want to be in sales or write books, you should model me. Nobody's done that at a higher level than me. If you want to learn how to, you know, do anything in life, there are successful people out there leaving breadcrumbs all over the place if you just look. So find a mentor, find a mastermind. Find a coaching program. Immerse yourself in where the clues are being most likely left. But here's the biggest one. Look for the clues in your own life. There are things you're doing right now that you're not paying attention to that give you massive success. Maybe you're in great shape. Look for the clues. Maybe you have a great relationship and intimacy. Through the chart, through the roof. Look for clues. Maybe your business is crushing. Look for clues. Take those clues from different areas because it's all the same, and borrow them for the areas that aren't working in your life. You got a great relationship. What do you do? What are the clues of success that you have in that relationship and how do you adopt them or adapt them into your business life? Starting the company. Start scaling the company. Success absolutely leaves clues, but you have to listen for them. You have to be aware of them. Don't let your subconscious grab what's wrong. Grab the clues on what's right.
