A lot of things can go wrong in this crazy life — lose your job, business failing, marriage on the rocks, blow an exam, get shut out in an athletic competition, etc.

Jocko Willink, a former U.S. military special operations officer turned popular speaker, author, and leadership consultant has a unique perspective on this. Just say —

“GOOD.

Check out this impactful short —

Willink says to look at these situations as opportunities to get better, more prepared, stronger, and set up for eventual success.

He points out that this is far better than just spiraling into catastrophic thinking which only compounds problems.

By being action oriented, proactive, focused on solutions seemingly towering issues can be brought down to size and handled.

I like this way of viewing and tackling life problem sets. What do you guys think?
