One of the worst things we can do is avoid pain instead of embracing it and working through it. There is always an inherent risk involved in growing yourself and growing your business, and we often try to avoid the risks in an attempt to protect ourselves from pain. Whether it's eating correctly or doing more with our business, we need to embrace the hard things in life so that we can learn and grow.

Our brains are designed to tell stories. As we look at the people around us, we make stories that we tell ourselves to make sense of other's decisions to figure them out. Whether we decide that someone is hard working or lazy, fast or slow, smart or dumb, we place people into categories to make sense of them and look for justification of these traits to confirm our views. We need to be able to break from these stories and allow people to grow.

In this episode, Eddie discusses the value of gratitude and scarcity. When we focus on certain things, they tend to seem worse in bigger and more dramatic ways.
