Transcript: "Hey, what's up guys? So the question is, how can an individual's selfless service mindset help to create positive change in difficult situations? So guys, this is a big one, and I think there's two components of this. Number one is just positive mental attitude. When it is hard, there's a natural tendency for all of us to turn inward. We focus on the pain. We focus on the misery. And if you can look outward and think about how choosing positivity in the face of negativity, it can make an absolute huge difference. And then the other tendency is when things are really hard, we have a tendency to focus on ourselves. We're focusing on our pain. We're focused on the things that we can or can't do. Frequently, we're focused on the things that are external to us. And so often, in really hard situations, when we're dealing with adversity, when we're dealing with problems, instead of thinking about yourself, you've got to fall into my three rules of leadership. Rule number three, you got to lead always. And this is where we push outward. We push past that pain, and we say, "Hey, man. How can I help you? Hey, man. I know you're hurting. I'm hurting, too. How can I help?" And sometimes this falls out the scope of our normal duties. It might not even be your job. But that is how selfless service can make a difference in super hard challenging times. Try it out. Make a difference with others around you. All right. I'm out."
