Growing Through It - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep 41
Nov 23, 2022We all know that life is full of ebbs and flows. There will always be struggles, challenges, and hard times, just like there will always be joy, pleasure, and happiness.
We’re also told to always aim and strive for good feelings and good times, and to avoid pain and struggle. Sounds great, right? Why would we want to seek out and embrace pain?
Well, simple.
The struggle is where the wisdom is, and it’s where the growth happens.
That’s why today we’re talking about how we can embrace the lesson in the experience, and lean into the hard things, and embrace them for what they’re teaching us instead of resisting the struggle.
Are you ready?
