So, often I will ask people, do you want to live an exceptional life?

And mostly people will say yes.

But an exception by definition is low probability.

And if you want to live a normative life, you'll be in the middle of the bell current.

But if you want an exceptional life, it's going to be low probability.

So one of the questions you want to ask yourself, anyone who wants an amazing life is probably

going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of

possibility.

So when you ask yourself, what is the possibility of doing something in that situation, you would

say rather than saying, how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this

greed?

What you say is, what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do?

And so there what you're looking for is the exception, right?

You're basically saying, I want to know what the exception does.

And most people go through these situations, they have a pretty hard time and they sort

of get through.

But what about that person who is actually able to do this and do this amazing?

So the very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule.
