| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's Q-Wode is the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory. |
| 0:06.0 | Here we go. |
| 0:32.0 | Welcome back to the quarter of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and |
| 0:35.8 | .com. We got less brown on the show kicking off the weekend. Today he's going to remind us |
| 0:41.6 | that life can get difficult. Things can get really hard, but that's how we we grow. That's how we |
| 0:50.9 | break through barriers of limitations in our lives. And it reminds me of what are my philosophies on |
| 0:58.5 | life. Not little by little, it becomes a lot, but one that I learned from a book about Steph Curry, |
| 1:04.8 | and it's to make difficult normal. If you can make difficult normal, you will live an incredible |

| 2:04.0 | I realize, ladies and gentlemen, and develop a great deal of respect for. It's hard. |
| 2:10.2 | Easy is not an option. It's hard living. Life is hard. She's hard when you are 49 years old and |
| 2:25.2 | working on a job for 17 years and they come in and tell you you're finished and give you one week |
| 2:30.7 | severance faith. And you have started all over again. It's hard when you're married and raising children |
| 2:39.2 | and your children are crawling and your husband dies unexpectedly. It's hard handling just the |
| 2:47.3 | tragedies of life. It's hard when you're working on something and you put everything you have in it |
