  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:11
  I'm our host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:13
  you by the Great News Podcast because good news should be
• 0:18
  heard. Find it in your favorite podcast
• 0:20
  app. And just to make it easy, I've
• 0:22
  left a note right here in the show notes.
• 0:25
  Today's quote comes from Tony Robbins, life strategist, best
• 0:30
  selling author and one of the most recognizable voices in
• 0:33
  personal development, and he's one of my favorite people to
• 0:36
  quote. He said 10 years from now you'll
• 0:40
  laugh at whatever stressing you out today, so why not laugh now?
• 0:47
  That second sentence is the one that makes you think, why not
• 0:52
  laugh now? It's such a simple question and
• 0:55
  yet most of us never ask it because we're too busy being
• 0:59
  stressed. Genuinely, completely and
• 1:04
  overwhelmingly stressed about things that, if we're honest
• 1:07
  with ourselves, probably won't matter a decade from now.
• 1:12
  If you think back 10 years, what was consuming you?
• 1:16
  What felt urgent, catastrophic and impossible to get past?
• 1:20
  And chances are it is dissolved completely.
• 1:23
  The crisis that kept you up at night.
• 1:25
  The set back that felt permanent.
• 1:28
  The embarrassment that seemed unsurvivable.
• 1:32
  You got through it, and if you're like most people, you
• 1:35
  probably did laugh about it eventually.
• 1:38
  Robbins is asking a deceptively powerful question.
• 1:43
  What if you skip the suffering and went straight to that
• 1:46
  perspective? Robbins has long taught that the
• 1:49
  quality of our life equals the quality of our emotions, and
• 1:53
  that we have far more control over those emotions than we
• 1:56
  typically exercise. Stress isn't just something that
• 2:00
  happens to you, It's a lens, and you can choose a different lens.
• 2:05
  That doesn't mean pretending problems don't exist.
• 2:09
  It means asking, honestly asking.
• 2:13
  Is this as serious as it feels like right now?
• 2:16
  Because 10 years from now, the answer will almost certainly be
• 2:20
  no. You just don't have to wait 10
• 2:23
  years to know it. So here's the question, what are
• 2:27
  you carrying right now that future you will almost certainly
• 2:31
  laugh at? You don't have to wait 10 years
• 2:34
  for that perspective. It's available to you right now
• 2:38
  in this moment if you're willing to reach for it.
• 2:41
  So why not laugh now? That's it for today.
• 2:45
  I'm Mandy McGivern signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 2:49
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 2:54
  with another daily quote.
