How To Gracefully Deal With Life Problems

A 3 part decision framework to understand and solve any frustration.

Ultimately all problems are a perception of the mind. Sometimes there is a way around or through the problem that we can't see.

This episode Sam Webster explores a framework to help us diagnose the problem we are experiencing so we can correctly deal with it.

1. Problems we want to have - Small problems that are connected to a bigger goal we want (see the last episode)
2. Problems we can't change - Realities of life we need to accept
3. Problems we don't want to have - Actual problems we need to creatively and logically solve

This episode covers the whole framework with details on steps 2 and 3. To listen to the full set of ideas for part one see the last episode on real advice to build gratitude that doesn't suck.
