In this episode, Reed Nyffeler discusses the importance of examining our thought life. He helps us know the power of assuming positive intent of others rather than internalizing negative messages. He describes the importance of thinking positively about our capacity to accomplish our aims and live out our priorities. He encourages people to gravitate toward those who align with and can encourage your efforts and cautions against comparing yourself to others.
