IWillTeachYouToBeRich - The one-word response to adversity

Reader,

When you see how much negativity affects you, there's a lot you can do to move past it.

It could be as simple as talking to that "downer" friend less often or unfollowing that Instagram account. One thing I did was unsubscribe from negative sites and subreddits that I was reading. A small action, but I felt notably better not reading them.

If negativity is a major problem, the solution might be more dramatic -- like quitting your job or moving to a different city.

I’ve noticed that the consistently positive people take it a step further: They focus on the negativity within their own minds.

For example, former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink developed a one-word response he uses every time he faces adversity: “Good.”

Didn’t get promoted? Good. More time to get better. Oh, mission got canceled? Good. We can focus on another one.

Didn’t get funded? Didn’t get the job you want? Got injured? Sprained your ankle? Got tapped out?

Good.

This skill of flipping from negative to positive is fascinating. In fact, I've been fascinated by people like this for years. People who operate head and shoulders above everyone else. I peppered them with questions to verify what they did differently. Was it habits? Mental frameworks? Were they simply “gifted” from birth?

Slowly, I built a map of this Mental Mastery. I wanted a blueprint to tap into this power source. I found that optimism is one of four core inner skills that winners have in common. Four deep differences that gave them an instant edge in business, work, even relationships.

I tested each of these in my own life. I've shared some of them with my close friends and colleagues. The impact blew me away.

And now I want to give them to you.

I’ve put everything I’ve learned into my course: Mental Mastery.
