Summary
No one likes pain or to be uncomfortable. We spend most of our lives avoiding it…
But the truth is your next level of success, abundance, joy, happiness… whatever your thing is… lives on the other side of the thing of that pain.
“You don’t find deep fulfillment without some deep struggles.” - Dean Graziosi
In this quick episode, Dean shares with you WHY painful times are necessary and HOW you can transform them into lessons for your next level. He shares a deeply personal story about his divorce and how it helped him become a better father, a better man, and ultimately attract the love of his life.
This was also one of the biggest takeaways Dean had with his guest Tim Ballard earlier this week. If you haven’t listened to that episode, you must! It’s the most important interview Dean has done to date and maybe ever will.
Tim’s story is so incredible it was turned into a film called SOUND OF FREEDOM. Tim had to go through pain, fear, and put his life on the line to become the next level of himself so he could go from government agent to freedom fighter against human trafficking.
There’s probably things you’re avoiding because you don’t want to go through the discomfort or the pain, but you know deep down you’re just prolonging it.
It’s time to face them. Let this episode be the nudge you need.
