Hey everybody, Dean Graz-D-O-C-O-C-C-W Welcome to the Weekly Wisdom.

Today I want to talk about success traps.

I'm going to make it short and sweet.

Here's the thing.

When you think you're somewhat successful, it is so much harder to get out of it.

When life is good, when it's okay, when you can get by, that's when a lot of times we don't make a move. You see when something fails miserably,

when the relationship has failed miserably, it's easy to change, to make it better or to have to end it. If a business fails miserably,

you tried and it failed, you move away, you try something new. If you get fired,

it's a if you want to call it failure,

you have to make a move.

But here's the success trap.

When the relationship's okay, there's no passion,

there's no love, but maybe there's a little love or there's respect, but it's it's good enough a lot of people have tough relationships

when your job almost pays the bills when you're almost happy and you look around and go, well, a lot of people are out of work, a lot of people are a lot worse off than me, I'm okay here.

When you have a business that is running you and you're not running it but you're still

self-employed and you kind of pay your bills but you're not seeing your kids as much as

you like but a lot of people don't see their kids that That is what I'm talking about today, guys.

The heck with good, we all have the opportunity for greatness.

Now, if you're going through a tough time in life,

you might be going, Dean, you're always so optimistic,

I can't have great. Yes, you can. I've been around long enough.

I've touched the lives of millions of people around the world. I've met enough of my students that have come from hell and back, have come from the hardest circumstances in the world.
