| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's episode of the Mindset Mentor Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Dyle, and |
| 0:12.9 | today we're going to be talking about the game of life that you live. And the way that |
| 0:17.8 | I like to look at my life, just personally as I am, is I like to look at my life as if |
| 0:22.9 | I'm just basically a video game character, right? And everything that happens to me is |
| 0:27.7 | meant to either help me get even better or to hold me in place or maybe even to pull |
| 0:33.5 | me back down. And that's the way that I tend to live my life and see challenges and see |
| 0:39.5 | everything that happens up in the world and that comes into my life. And so as I'm talking |
| 0:44.9 | about this and what immediately I think about when I go through this is I go, okay, you know, |

| 1:35.4 | you've ever played a video game, it's kind of like you get different challenges. And as you go |
| 1:40.2 | through these challenges, you become better and you grow and you up level your character. And so |
| 1:46.3 | when I think about the current moment that we're in with the coronavirus with, you know, obviously |
| 1:51.4 | the terrible things that are happening, the people that are getting sick and the people that are |
| 1:54.2 | dying, the way that I kind of think of it in my head is what am I supposed to learn from this? |
