Summary
If you want to hit any goal in your life, you have to know how to recover faster from setbacks & frustrations.
The other day, I had a big setback and I was emotional about it. I cried. I got mad. I spent hours focused on how I didn't understand another person's behavior or thought process.
Then, I had a bit of an "aha" moment. I came to the realization of a powerful perspective shift that I now think of as my "drama shut off" valve and I'm sharing it with you on today's episode!

| 0:32.9 | an important lesson that I learned the other day. |
| 0:36.5 | It came in the form of a frustration. |
| 0:39.6 | It came from being upset and that in and of itself felt like a lesson to me, a reminder |
