You just nailed it and that's the entire , that entire field or science of adversity . And you know , we know that adversity causes us to stop , slow down and rep prioritize what's truly important in our lives . First and foremost .
Absolutely . And , and I'm a big believer that any kind of adversity can become your greatest strength . And I know that , you know , everything that I've been through and I know a lot of my listeners with their breakups and the heartbreak and the betrayal that maybe they've suffered all the abuse .
Just choose here and now what can I do that would allow me to feel more of that ease and playfulness and joyfulness that I call happiness . And at the very least , if I can't do a whole lot to change the external conditions that circumstance , my life , this red hot minute , how can I either accept what's happening and where I am , take my mind off of the painful , uncomfortable unhappy circumstance conditions or focus on things that are more positively engaging , absorbing and exciting or inspiring , right ? So in other words , how can I , the very least not make the pain more painful .
So it though even though it feels like and it is a deeply uh dissatisfying experience , it's also divine discontent , right ? So that discontent is leading away from the things people , places , activities , sensations , perceptions , conditions and circumstances that aren't working to provide you the happiness you want and it's pointing you in another direction , but sometimes you need a little , need a little guidance from someone who's been there before to , to sort of get there . Um So I do wanna make sure I'm also putting out the flip side of that .
You know , you can survive it , right ? You just nailed it and that's the entire , that entire field or science of adversity . And you know , we know that adversity causes us to stop , slow down and rep prioritize what's truly important in our lives .
