Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1618DM Gary admits something most successful people won't: his generosity isolates him. He's always the one providing emotional and financial value, which means no one feels safe telling him the truth. His solution? Gather your inner circle for the most awkward dinner of their lives and demand they tell you your weaknesses. Not later. Not in private. Together, in front of each other, so you suffocate your own excuses. Then he breaks down gratitude gorilla. Not the soft version. The version grounded in mortality. While you've been complaining about your job or your relationship, thousands of people got terminal diagnoses. Thousands died. Gary's friend was stuck comparing himself to everyone who had more. Gary flipped it: "Tell me who you have it better than." That question landed. The friend texted him later. The move is simple. Wake up. Recognize you didn't die last night. Build from there. Stop cataloging what's missing. Envy isn't new. MTV Cribs existed. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous existed. You survived school with the rich kid who had the BMW. This isn't a social media problem. It's a perspective problem. And perspective starts with simplicity. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
