Summary

Even the most positive situations have a healthy dose of $hit attached to them. By default, we focus so intently on all the terrible things that happened that lose sight of any positive. This has been especially true with my relationship with my father. If you’re a long time listener of the show, it’s no secret that my dad and I simply didn’t get along. In fact, until relatively recently I blamed a lot of my issues on him. Even through the pain, it’s hard not to reevaluate our relationship and recognize the gifts my dad has given me. Is there a relationship or situation where you can say the same?

0:57.2	And the story I want to share with you is the fact of for longer than I can remember,
1:03.0	I used to give immense shit
1:10.0	to the world about my father.
1:14.0	Yes, when I say that out loud, I used to say all the negative things my father had done to me.
1:25.8	Now, in full transparency I believe we all have a cognitive bias or cognitive dissonance which we see life through the lens
1:30.5	in which we've experienced it. By the sheer nature of that very
1:34.8	fact, I don't know how bad of a father he really was. In fact, I can go back in time
1:41.5	periods and remember he was a phenomenal father in so many time periods.
1:47.8	But the story that I used to run in the background was that he was never around, which is truthful, right?
1:54.7	What happened was when my father wanted to produce at a higher level
