Problems aren't signs of failure, they're fuel for growth. The speaker separates success (getting what you want) from fulfillment (living your purpose), and argues that instant-gratification tech has trained us to expect immediate results, which sabotages real relationships and business building.
The biggest problem people have is they think they're not supposed to have any. And problems are the fuel for growth. It's like, if you don't have any problems, you're either a liar or you might call them challenges. It feels better. But, you know, anybody who doesn't have problems is either totally asleep at the wheel or they don't have much of any kind of a life. No responsibility, nothing they're building. So I think the first thing is this misnomer that if I have a problem, there's something wrong with me or my life. And I think the second one is this delusion we've sold people on that getting what you want is gonna make you happy. You could call success getting what you want. I don't define it that way, but that's how most people do. But then there's fulfillment, and fulfillment is living what you're made for. Mm-hmm. I think the biggest challenge people have is they're just thinking about themselves, and it's not that hard to meet your own needs. And it's nobody's fault. I mean, these little things in our pocket, these little mini computers we used to call phones, they're constantly conditioning you to instantly get what you want. And that's not how human relationship works, and that's sure as hell not how you build a business. It's not a straight line.
