As we advance through life, we will not only be visited by good fortune. Dangerous times will also make an appearance.
 
I’ve come to realize, as the years etch more notches on my belt, that troubles are actually precious friends, in disguise.
 
They serve to…
 
…help us make less mistakes.
…forge wisdom that can never leave us.
…show us how strong we are.
…melt away the toughness of arrogance.
…heal ancient wounds that are brought to the surface by present-day troubles.

My new book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

What I've realized is when things don't work out, what the leader does is this. You feel the pain. You notice the disappointment. You never want to suppress that. That would build up the toxic emotions within you. Feel the disappointment. If it's, you know, you forgot your keys somewhere, you lost your wallet, you missed a train, you missed a meeting, you lost a sale. Or maybe it's something heavier. got your heart broken, you just lost your job. When those things happen, feel the emotion. Do not suppress it because the quickest way out of the painful or sad emotions is straight in. But here's the real key. Ask yourself, what's the opportunity here? How can I use this small or large negative event to grow? How can I use this situation to give me more wisdom, to give me more acumen, to make me more experienced? How can I use this situation to strengthen me and fortify me? How can I use this situation to become more authentic and more real? Because it's the difficult things in life that crack open our social mask and allow us to be more real and more authentic. How can I use this situation to build my relatability so I'm more relatable to human beings? And ultimately, how can I use this situation as fuel to make my life even better.
