Taming our Lion Struggles!

Below is my stream of consciousness on life's tests. I hope these thoughts help you reflect and better grow into the best version of yourself at home and in your professional environments! By leveraging our human network, you will quickly gain the learnings and insights needed to overcome struggles of all kinds including technical, organizational, and personal.

Personal Struggles

When we are tested with personal trials and tribulations, these experiences are perfectly designed to bring out the best in us. The specific difficulties you encounter have been customized for you the same way we are perfectly designed to get the results we get. The deeds we sow, thoughts we entertain, and mind programming we allow help design the tests we experience. Have you ever noticed someone get frustrated and upset with what seems to you as the most trivial of situations? That's because that situational test was not designed for you!

Sometimes these tests can seem insurmountable and impossible to overcome. It sometimes feels like you are trapped in a cage with an angry, hungry, 400 pound lion! I believe no test is too big for us to handle because it is specifically custom designed for us to become the best versions of ourselves. However, to realize the benefits we must embrace these tests with radiant acquiescence and a focus on learning. If we try to deflect, blame others, or ignore the test, we will only cause it to return later with greater magnitude. "If you want to feel better, blame others. If you want to get better, blame yourself." - Alex Hormozi.

However, facing the test doesn't mean you do it alone. Trust that with every struggle in life, there is someone else on the planet who has already experienced it and can help you gain the right perspectives for growth. You will know when you overcome the test because you will not be triggered in the future by a similar situation and the once angry hungry lion will seem like a harmless (almost) cub. You will be thankful for the test and you will have new perspectives on life, which enable you to help others being tested in similar situations for their first time.

Have fun being tested... that is the only way you grow!

"Winning leads to leveling up. Leveling up leads to harder opponents. Harder opponents leads to losing. Losing leads to learning. Learning leads to winning. Just depends what part of the cycle you are in... If you want revenge for the bad things that have happened in your life, start with the version of you that hasn't lived up to your potential." - Alex Hormozi.

Remember: You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made of stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space.

Live courageously my friends!
