How many challenges, how many problems, how many different obstacles do you have in your life right now?

Think about them.

Another way to put this are how many things are simply not the way that you want them right now.

Think about that.

Little things, big things.

Where you're at in life.

What are you not pleased with?

This is a problem, right?

A challenge, an obstacle.

And then we also, I'm sure you're like me,

you consider yourself a competitor. someone who likes to compete, someone who likes to win.

And when we think of the highest competitors, of course we think of sports.

Organized competition.

We think of the Michael Jordans of the world. We think of the Michael Phelps.

We think of the Serena Williams of the world. The Mia Hams of the world. The messies of the world.

We're talking about this fiery spirit. And we don't imagine that when these people go up against an opponent, which is, by the way,

nothing more than a problem.

An opponent is a problem.

It's an obstacle in the way of what you want, which is to win.

Number one, you don't see these competitors crying and complaining about the opponents that they have in front of them, do they?

They don't say, oh, another game.

How come we can't just have the trophy already?
