Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

What is less talked about or even research is post-traumatic growth. So what you're asking about

is like if you had an option, which we all have options

based on our experiences and our psychology, we determine the experience, not the experience

in and of itself.

Yes.

So for much of my life, I have been framing things in a way like, okay, how do I grow from

this? How do I benefit from this? How do I frame this

in a way that helps me and others, you know, grow? So this was another moment that fit well with the

model that I've already invested in for the last, call it 30 years. Yeah, but now you're the brain

scientist who's doing open brain surgery and saying, okay, do these theories actually

work, you know, after this? Well, I think that's the point, Lewis, is that take any smaller

setback or challenge or adversity or whatever or any kind of mundane life experience,

like, how do I take one more rep at the gym? Yes.

Right.

How do I stay in a hard conversation just a little bit longer?

So it's these small little moments that just add up where you respond based on your

training.

Humans, this is a first principle for me.

And this is, I don't know, somewhat controversial, I think, is that humans fall to the level of their training.

We don't rise to moments.

And I know you might think differently about that.
