Acceptance, Resiliency, and Gratitude | Artist, Henry Fraser

Life is much simpler and much happier when you always look at what you can do, not what you can't do. And for me, I guess that's what everything I speak about.

Everything I do reduces down to those few lines. And the very final line of the book is, just every day is a good day.

And I genuinely believe that in our lives, in what we do, we can make every day a good day by just doing certain things that we find our own ways, and I found mine, but I genuinely believe we can make every day a good day. And I hope that all of you are able to find that. And it doesn't happen straight away. It's not an overnight thing. It takes time. It takes patience with yourself, patience with others, but it's worth it. Come the end of it, it's worth it. And it might be tough at the start, it will be tough, but stick with it and every day is a good day.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais and by trade and training, I'm a high performance psychologist. And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who have committed their life efforts towards mastery. They might not call it that way, but that's essentially what they've done because they are so understanding of what it takes to grow and get better, whether it's in their craft or themselves, that their knowledge and insights are gripping. And that's who is on this show. That's who's on this podcast, The Extraordinaries, both in craft and of self. And so we get both of those together, we got a real winner of a conversation and this is one of them today. And so the whole idea though, is to learn from these extraordinaries so that you can better understand how to invest in your life for one reason, so that you can help others do the same. I wanna take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I wanna pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just wanna get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do, but it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it.
