  You have arrived. Welcome to the Aspy world.
• 0:04
  Here's where we talk about anything and everything ASD in
• 0:07
  an upbeat and informative way. And now here's your man on the
• 0:11
  spectrum, your autism ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:19
  Guys, one of the interesting things is I was talking to one
• 0:21
  of my friends about this and I was talking about problems and
• 0:23
  how in life we we don't have an opportunity to pick and choose
• 0:28
  problems typically in our life. Now, if you want big action in
• 0:32
  your life, if you want big goals and you have to take big steps
• 0:36
  or massive attack or action towards the goal, if you're a
• 0:39
  big life, if you want big outcomes, you have to take big
• 0:41
  actions, big attacks on the things that you want to do in
• 0:45
  life. But how do you do this?
• 0:46
  The best thing to do is get your mind in a mind frame that you
• 0:49
  know that you can solve things as and when you need to.
• 0:52
  How can you do this? Very simply, think about this, A
• 0:55
  person who is having trouble in life doesn't have enough
• 0:58
  problems. The devil makes work for idle
• 1:00
  hands. When we are sitting stagnant,
• 1:02
  when we are idle and we're doing nothing, we are not progressing,
• 1:04
  we're not moving forward through space, we're not attaining new
• 1:06
  goals because we're not experiencing problems.
• 1:08
  The Buddha once said a man who has 10 friends has 10 problems
• 1:11
  because a life without friends is a life with no problems.
• 1:14
  But what is a life like without friends?
• 1:16
  It's absolute garbage. We need friends because we want
• 1:18
  that like group dynamic. The other thing about it is that
• 1:22
  if we're stood still, yes, we're not going to come across
• 1:24
  problems or anything negative in our life, but we're stood still.
• 1:26
  We're not going anywhere. We need to improve.
• 1:28
  Practice makes progress. We're never going to hit the
• 1:30
  state perfect because it doesn't exist, but we will progress.
• 1:33
  And if you're moving through space, you're going to come
• 1:34
  across problems. So this is what I challenge you
• 1:36
  to do. If you want a bigger life, if
• 1:38
  you want to start changing our mindset to realizing that you
• 1:40
  can overcome anything, think about this.
• 1:42
  Think about 5 problems is that you can create in your mind
• 1:44
  fictitious and think about five ways you can solve them.
• 1:47
  And this is the mindset you want to go through.
• 1:49
  If I said to you now, oh, I've stubbed my toe and I've broken
• 1:53
  my toe, right, what can I do? So the problem is I've stubbed
• 1:56
  my toe and I can't run and I can't drive a car, right?
• 2:01
  So what is the alternative? What do I need to do?
• 2:03
  The solution is I'll strap my toes together.
• 2:05
  I'll go get an X-ray, make sure that though fragments of bone
• 2:08
  are going into my bloodstream and I'll take some pain
• 2:10
  medication and I'll take the advice to the doctor.
• 2:12
  But in the meantime, guess what? This problem has opened a
• 2:15
  floodgate of opportunity. I no longer can run.
• 2:17
  So the time that I would, you know, that hour or so, I would
• 2:19
  have gone out running. Now I can spend an hour on a new
• 2:22
  project of mine or writing my book or writing in my diary or
• 2:24
  learning a new skill or researching or joining a course
• 2:27
  and doing a one hour course every single day for the next
• 2:29
  two weeks, two months, whatever it is to recover and repair your
• 2:32
  foot. Now also, Oh, I can't drive.
• 2:35
  OK, that means now I have to take public transport with the
• 2:37
  public transport means there's two things.
• 2:38
  One, an expense. So hey, maybe I have to find
• 2:41
  another way to create a little bit of extra income.
• 2:43
  Could be a side hustle. That could be a good way of
• 2:45
  educating myself to pay for the bus or an Uber or whatever.
• 2:48
  But also I meet new people. I'm on the bus, I'm speaking to
• 2:50
  new people. Maybe there's an opportunity
• 2:52
  there. You know, the Buddha or the
• 2:53
  Dalai Lama actually said that when we speak, we hear words we
• 2:56
  already know, but when we listen, we have the ability to
• 2:58
  learn something new. We are always in the state of
• 3:00
  learning, in the state of optimism, and we should take
• 3:02
  every opportunity, good and bad, assume responsibility for the
• 3:05
  good things and the bad things in in your life.
• 3:07
  Take those on board because when you do that, you stop becoming a
• 3:09
  victim. You become a person who knows
• 3:11
  exactly what they're going to do in life.
• 3:12
  You're going to create a bigger reality means you're going to
• 3:14
  increase affinity and you're also going to increase your
• 3:17
  communication skills and your level of communicating with the
• 3:20
  universe as a whole. Your life will increase towards
• 3:23
  its potential. You will urge yourself towards
• 3:24
  existence. Guys, if you want in on more
