Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,846. I recently read a quote from Rick Rubin on the Brain Food newsletter from Shane Parrish and Company. And the quote goes like this. It's talking about going from bad to good and the patience that is needed to go from bad to good.

Rick Rubin, iconic legendary music producer, says this.

I think it's shocking every time how bad things can be on their way to being good.

It blows my mind.

It's like when someone's solving a Rubik's cube, and it looks like they're so far from solving it

right before they solve it.

When you're in the middle of something, you listen to it and you're like, tomorrow this might

get amazing, but today it's so bad.

The exciting thing is that it's every time, close quote.

If you are in a situation where things just feel bad you can't get anything right

things that you should get right you don't get right things that you used to get right you

can't get right and it's frustrating and in some cases embarrassing my invitation to you is to remember

rick rubens thought that in order to get

good, you have to go through bad. And if you are journaling, the prompt for today is,

what is the bad that you're going through? What is the good that you can pull out from the bad you're currently experiencing?

That's it.

What is the good you can pull out of the bad you're currently experiencing?

Once again, in order to get really good at what you do,

you have to be willing to be very bad.

Anyone who's achieved anything great went through pockets and moments long times of experiencing

the bad. But if you're willing to work through the bad, that's how you show how committed you are to it.

That's how much you show you love it.
