t's observably not true right. You'd like to stick with things that you actually feel are true.

But if you say that bad news is good then your brain is like well but is it you know so it's a little unclear messaging to yourself. But I tried it. I tried it yesterday. So when I got the leak in my ceiling I'm like because it wasn't just a few hours ago I'd heard about that reframe. I thought well I'll give it a try. So I look at the ceiling and I go good.

I swear to God it worked. It worked. It completely changed my connection to the problem. What the hell. It worked. It worked instantly. It actually worked instantly.

Now that one's as weird as there's a reframe I do have in the book in which the reframe is if you have some big problem and it's just bugging you you say that the problem has as much of a right to exist as I do. Doesn't make any sense right. It's the same as saying that your problem is good or that anything is good about it.

Now Jocko had more of an explanation. It has something to do with you know another challenge to overcome. You know you'll learn something. Maybe there's an opportunity that comes out of the bad news because bad news often kicks up opportunities. So he had a little explanation around it but I'm not even sure you needed it. I think the word itself carried the power. You just associate it with a positive word and suddenly it changed how you feel about it. It was that easy. Yeah.

So just say if you had a problem well the problem has a right to exist. It just won't bother you as much. You'll still work on it if you could solve it but if you just put a different word on it now again I'll remind you that the power of reframes and by the way the way that I can tell when my critics who give me one star reviews the way I can tell that they haven't read the book is they say it's a book of advice. It's not a book of advice. It's a book of words that change your brain like good in that context. It's just a word. The word itself has the power. It's like a little program.

So a reframe is like a little program they put into your head to optimize something. It doesn't have to be true. Doesn't have to be logical. It just has to work. And that's what good does. It just works. So if you want to spend all your time figuring out why it works you can. Maybe that would be interesting but it doesn't matter. It works. Try it.

So Jocko good job on that. That was quite that was really useful. That. So when I tell people that you know my 160 reframes will change your life it's the only one you'd ever heard was Jocko's. That's a pretty big change. It immediately made all the problems for the rest of my life a little bit less bothe
