Showing Up When Life Falls Apart

Understand that the real reason for your life is to use what happens as fuel for your growth. As I wrote a fair amount about in The 5AM Club where Mr. Riley is teaching his students how to “enter the magic” while they meet on a vineyard in South Africa, life is not random [as far as I can tell]. So much of what happens to us arrives in our lives as perfect training to make us into the genuine heroes we’re meant to be.

What makes greatness is how you show up when everything is falling apart. Any leader, any human being can shine and thrive and innovate and lead when everything's working. What makes genuine greatness is how brightly do you shine, how positively do you radiate, how masterfully do you create, how strong and Committed and productive are you when everything's falling apart. That's the true test of a genuine hero. And you've got that in you because heroism is not the reserve of the famous ones. Heroism is the opportunity and even the responsibility of every single one of us. I no matter where you live, no matter what you do, no matter what you're going through, you have it in you to display your greatness. And so I want you to think about that. I want you to reach deep within yourself if you're going through a trying time today to not only see the benefits that adversity brings, but to actually leverage the difficulty for the noble values within you to become stronger and more empathetic and more creative and more inventive and more resilient and more brave and maybe most importantly, even more loving.
