## Resource

What if the reason you still don’t feel successful is because you’ve been keeping score of the wrong things? For years, we thought winning meant more money, a bigger house, more success, the next accomplishment—the constant chase for more. But what happens when you finally stop long enough to realize your life might already be pretty damn good? In this episode, we talk about letting go of comparison, forgiving people who hurt you, recognizing when closed doors were actually protection, and why getting your marriage and family right might be the foundation that makes everything else fall into place. Because someone else’s grass might be greener—and that’s okay. If your grass is green, take care of it. Maybe you’re not behind. Maybe you’ve just been measuring the wrong things.
