The problem is just that we haven’t been taught how to think in a way that sets us up for success in life. You don’t learn it in school, but what is it really that separates the successful people from the unsuccessful, the wealthy from the poor, the healthy from the unhealthy, and the happy from the unhappy? Is it their life circumstances or their actions? Sure, those things definitely play a role. But, perhaps, even more so, they are separated by the way they think.
