Scratch Wisdom: Ain't Bad, Just Is ft. Chris Dorris

A raw Scratch Wisdom video for all the scratch heads who wanted to see the cuts I am doing.
Video Background
Mental Toughness and Success Coach Chris Dorris ‪@thementaltoughnesscoach‬ wrote an awesome book called “The Book of Mental Toughness Mantras.” and he commissioned me to give some of the chapters my “Scratch Wisdom” treatment, where I scratch up the words over instrumental beats.
Together, we created a series, and I present to you another installment for your viewing pleasure.

Lyrics
Ain’t Bad, Just Is.
if we're interested in creating massive amounts of excellence in our lives at the fastest rate possible,
we really do want to practice stopping having a problem with reality.
We want to pay very close attention to our judgments and ask ourselves,
“Does this interpretation serve me and others right now?”
When we have a problem with reality,
when we're complaining,
when we think something is really bad,
we're deactivating all forms of creative genius.
We're paralyzing ourselves.
We're immobilizing our ability
to create and to grow.
Ain’t Bad, Just Is,
is one of the first go-to mantras
that I use in the milliseconds
after I catch myself complaining.
It's the ultimate neutralizer mantra.
It's like an antacid for emotional heartburn.
Imagine this with me for a moment.
Imagine that your auto-response to the big business deal that fell just through is instead,
“Oh how fascinating, I didn't see that coming.”
That's neutral.
Visualize that.
It’s a possibility.
And it will get you to creativity much faster.
Ain’t Bad, Just Is, is a perfectly effective complaint neutralizer, and it's actually true.
Ain’t Bad, Just Is.
