0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1637, The Metric of Struggle by Greg Audino of Gregaudino.com
0:08.2	and I'm Justin Mollick, your very own personal narrator. I read you from some of the best
0:12.4	blogs in the world every day, covering personal development and growth, lifestyle,
0:17.2	minimalism, and more. Prokib's essential short, so let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.
0:23.2	The Metric of Struggle by Gregaudino of Gregaudino.com
0:33.2	The other day I was having an interesting chat about support animals with a trusted friend who's

1:35.2	a developing country who's able to live happily in spite of the fact that they have no money
1:39.6	and live in life threatening circumstances on a daily basis. While this is an indisputable fact,
1:45.0	it's also not the full picture. Nearly all judgment and assessment towards others is derived from
1:50.0	how we perceive their outer circumstances. As we all know, however, there's much more to us than
