Atem gnes Here walking back to the Building Better Humans Project podcast, It's Mondays, It's another day for a bit of pep talk, and literally from the app pep Talk, this one is about, well, they call it through the Pain, but I call it suffering is Awesome. And the reason is there's a couple of pieces in this that really resonated with me, and one of them was this idea that suffering is awesome because suffering is what creates change. Another one is where one of the ladies on it talks about her biggest fear is leaving this earth with nothing left to give, and I mentioned I guess a little bit of that in a podcast on Friday. And that's part of my sort of concern that I get to the end of my life and I haven't done all the things. Now at my age at fifty two, I can easily look back at twenty and thirty and go, dude, why weren't you doing more? Like you had all this physical capacity, you had all this untapped energy and this untapped potential, and you were kind of wasting it. But I don't beat myself up too bad because I know that that's kind of what your twenties are about and maybe even your thirties. And I was doing good stuff. I was in the military, and all of that stuff ties into where I am today. But it's easy to look back at that stuff and go, why wasn't I doing more now for me? I, rather than do that, look forward and go, well, could I still be doing more now? And absolutely I can because a lot of people pack up at forty, a lot of people pack up at fifty, and I imagine sixty and seventy and so on. I'm going to be the same guy where I'm trying to get as much out of this as I possibly can. As I said on Friday, I'm trying to wring the juice out of this thing. I want to leave this earth knowing that I gave everything I had within my capacity and understanding at the time, and I'm going to know better, I do better, And that's what resonated with me. But the other thing is what really resonated with this through the pain piece is again a message that I would have sent to my younger self if I had that capacity, in that is, don't avoid challenges, don't avoid pain, don't avoid struggle, because these are all of the things that help usue into the best version of yourself. When you avoid all of those things, you start to restrict your capacity to do those things. So if you're someone that's constantly trying to avoid discomfort and all of that sort of stuff, as soon as life hits you in the guts, and it will, you're not going to have the capacity to handle that. And that's really what I took out of this piece. It's about true high performers, people that are truly driven by a passion, people that really want to achieve a thing, whatever that thing is, and it doesn't have to be money and houses and cars, and it could be impact and status, I don't know, whatever it is. For you. People that do that also understand that along the road there are going to be challenges and they're okay with that. So I love this piece. I hope that it resonates with you. I hope you get some value out of it. Again, they call it through the pain. If you're looking through the app yourself, I call it Suffering is Awesome, which for a personal development podcast probably sounds like a pretty weird title, but it is what it is. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Greatest people on the planet have suffering.

The monk.

Suffering is not bad. I'm suggesting suffering is awesome. The ego runs from suffering because it's the death of the ego. But I believe pain difficult times, the failure, loss is purification and preparation for personal heroism.

How I want to write a story full of leaping and running and jumping and serving and playing full out and falling and skinning my knees and scraping my face and hurting my heart, because if that's the only way I can hurt and fall and straight is the fateful out, then I'll.

Take the hurt.

Those obstacles that you will encounter, that's how you grow, That's how you become stronger. When you get into a tight spot and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer. Never give up then, But that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Because what I'm really afraid of, and what you're really afraid of, is getting to the end of your day, to the end of your life, and having something left to get.

You need to.

Be love paid however mentally physically love it.

You need to love it.

It's much stay away.

You are the only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you have got to.

Suffer to grow.

To grow, you must suffer, and I mean suffer.

Your brain and your body, once connected together, can do anything.

I outlasted the pay. I outlasted the pay. When I was sleeping in those abandoned buildings, I kept telling myself, one day, you'll be a homeowner. Every time I walked into that abandoned building, I told myself that this might be your card circumstances, but this will not be how the story ends.

All you have to do eachd is.

To survive today. Every single day when I woke up in that abandoned building, one day, one day is going to be eighteen today, because that day can't come if I.

Give up today.

So every single day when I woke up, I kept telling myself today might not be today, but soon it will be my day, and I will recycle my pain.

When I'm hurt.

I love it.

I love that feeling because it's real. That's the most realist feeling that you could ever have, is being in pain, because everything else happiness could be fake. Crime could be fake, but pain shit, that's real.

I'd rather have a skin knee. I'd rather have a skin chimp. I'd rather be tired. I'd rather have a bunch of failure because I took the leap, that a bunch of potential because I said there.

I firmly believe that you need something that is brutal, is difficult, is hardship. It knocks you off center. It makes you feel bad because in the process of rebuilding and clawing back from that, climbing up, then you can become something. But you unless you've been tested, unless you've gone through the ring, or you've got no.

Hope, that's when you've got to fall forward. When life is kicking dirt in your face, don't give up. Then that's when most people turn back. Most people have tucked their tails between their legs and they will run in the opposite direction to say, that's all right, life, I don't want this all right, No, no, no. If you've decided that this is what you want to do, you've got to become courageous to stand up within yourself to face it and step forward.

If you're on your knees because your life is falling apart, what I've discovered Jay is staying as long as possible because difficulty is growth in Wolf's clothing.

I'm not training for a race. I'm training for life.

I'm training for the.

Time when I get that two o'clock in the morning call that my mom is.

Dead or something half is tragic in life. I don't fall apart.

I'm training my mind and.

My body and my spirit so it's all one so I can handle.

What life is gonna throw at me. Because the life I've.

Lived, it throws a whole bunch at you.

And if you're not physically and mentally prepared for that, you're just gonna crumble and you're.

Good for nobody except that it's gonna be really hard and painful of times. And for me, I used to resist feeling frustrated, upset, angry, anxious, depressed, whatever it was for the within the context of what was happening in the business, and it made it so much harder because I was constantly fighting with reality. As soon as I just accepted and just kind of like, I don't know, I have this like visual of myself just like bathing in the shit of it, it goes away so much faster.

Yeah, For most people, their relationship with the pain and the inconvenience is to avoid it, avoid it. So if you could be yeah, but if you can see yourself, on the other side of this is this other self. And so whatever your pain is right now, relationships just ended financially something that's difficult for you to do. Maybe you're trying to lose weight and whatever it might be. On the other side of that temporary pain is the other self.

You, whether you're stuck, whether you're in pain, whether you're suffering, you still have this flame inside you that is burning. And when you actively engage in your own campaign of misery, you are creating literally a cancer inside of you that eats it you.

Pain motivates significantly faster and stronger than pleasure doves like people are like no passion is the right way. It's like point a gun at a family member all of a sudden ten out of ten motivation pain and so like.

I think people should use their pain everything life. There's an opposite right to everything that's up, the sound that's in this opposite, that's an opposite. So whatever you're going through, this is what I had to remember constantly. The pain, the difficulty the hell there was an opposite, and I refused to leave this planet until I got to see what that opposite is. I'm living it in now and it's the most beautiful thing in the world. So please, whatever you do, push till you get to the opposite of the pain that you're feeling, the hurt, the fear, whatever it is. Push. Push, that's the resilience. Push until you see the opposite of it. It is so sweet. And my prayer for everybody here, everybody watching, get there. I promise you get there. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
