Hey everybody, Dean Graziosi and welcome to the weekly wisdom.

What if I told you that your problems were the answer to your success?

What if I shared with you or what if you really thought through a whole society that's being plagued with the thought that happiness is when there's zero problems, when everything is perfect.

So I'm going to tell you this joke.

It's, well I shouldn't have told you it's a joke,

but I told to my kids and they got it in a minute.

Think about this.

A guy is a gambler and he's trying all the time, he's all his money wins once in a while just enough and he just plagued with his whole life of being a gambler and he dies gets hit by a car one day leaving a casino and all of a sudden he's he ends up and he's in a casino and all of a sudden he ends up and he's in a casino he dies and he wakes up and he's dressed nice he looks perfect his hair parted nice and he walks over and it's the machines and the slot machines and blackjack and roulette and

everywhere he goes he's just winning and he's like this is unbelievable and

he's winning and he's winning and winning and he's winning and he goes

back he goes back and he keeps winning and he goes back and he keeps winning and all of

sudden he's like man this isn't really that much fun I just keep winning so

finally he walks up to one of the matrides that works here and he goes dude I

keep winning he said I didn't know heaven was gonna be winning, and he said, I didn't know heaven was going to be like this.

And he said, what makes you think you're in heaven?

And that's our lives.

We have this ideal, this image, that everything has to be great, that we don't want any problems because

we're supposed to be happy all the time, we're supposed to be fulfilled, they're supposed to be

full of joy, and nothing's supposed to go wrong, but the problems are what make us have the other side of happiness. The harder our problems

and the way we find solutions, the way we overcome those problems, the way we process

and be sad, be hurt, hurt be annoyed and push it out

learn from and move on the level of our problems is the level of our success
