that you want. You have an OZ that you are
heading towards. And in many cases, you
want to RUN down that Yellow Brick Road
and get there fast, like yesterday, right?
The bricks on the Yellow Brick Road are
kinda like levels in a video game. You know
how when you play a video game, you
have to master level one before you get to
advance to level two?
You can’t “die” in level one on a video game
and still advance to level two, right? You
have to keep doing level one over and over
until you learn how to navigate level one
successfully. When you master level one,
then you get to advance to level two on the
video game. And so on, until you win. Right?
Well, it’s kinda like that on the Yellow Brick
Road to your Oz.
On each brick of the Yellow Brick Road as
you journey through life, you will experience
problems and challenges. When these
problems or challenges come, you must
SOLVE them and master them in order to
qualify yourself to advance to the next brick
on your Yellow Brick Road.
Very often, in life, when we experience
problems or challenges, we wish the problem
wasn’t there, and we complain about the
challenge. We want it to go away. We wish
something or someone else would change
to fix it.
But here’s the thing…
Every problem or challenge that you have
in your life, right now, is actually a GIFT
But that’s not actually how the Yellow
Brick Road works.
Every problem or
challenge that you have
in your life, right now, is
actually a GIFT because
when you face it, own it
and solve it, you QUALIFY
yourself to advance to
your next brick on your
Yellow Brick Road.
because when you face it, own it and solve
it, you QUALIFY yourself to advance to your
next brick on your Yellow Brick Road.
Then on the next brick, there will be
challenges and problems. As you face it,
own it and solve it, you qualify yourself to
advance to the next brick on your Yellow
Brick Road.
As you advance, the challenges and
problems become better quality challenges.
So instead of struggling to figure out how to
pay your bills when you are on brick number
seven, by the time you are on brick twenty-
seven, you are struggling to find the right
team member to help you grow to your next
level. That’s a better-quality problem, but still
a problem that must be solved to move to
the next brick.
