You have a choice. You can either look at trauma as something that happened to you and feel like you get a

hall pass when you don't have to do certain things because something happened to you. Or, and this is a choice,

or you could look at it and say, what was that preparing me for? What did that get me ready for? What

happened in my life after that as a result of it? Have you noticed that the world that we live in has been doing most

of the thinking for you, that your beliefs, perceptions, reactions, fears, and doubts have been

shaped by unsolicited outside noise? How easy it's been for you to slip into that default

sleepwalking mode and label it as life and reality. Yeah,

that ends here. Welcome to the Make Sense with Dr. J.C. podcast. This is your opportunity to start

thinking for yourself, reclaim control, and step back into that role as the shock caller

and dominant force of your own reality. It's when you change the way that

you look at things that the things that you look at begin to change. So let's wake up, let's rise up,

and let's make sense of why and how shift happens.

Makes sense.

Great morning, great morning world, great morning humans. This is Dr. J.C. Dornick, otherwise known as the dragon. And coming to you on a Tuesday, typically we do these on Mondays at 8 a.m.

But I'm here in Cancun, Mexico, and I'm sure you've heard the stories, but it happened to me,

or it happened for me, but I got food poisoning and didn't sleep much and did a bunch of other

things all night before the Monday. So we had to reschedule. So we are here on a Tuesday in this

episode. So today is going to be something that I'm going to share that comes from my

book, but we're calling this the secret map to your life, why nothing is random. And remember,

in the make sense ecosystem, we're never like preaching and teaching. You'll notice that it's,

it's never my intention to tell people what is or what people should do.

It's more about pointing something out that I find interesting, something that was useful for me that I'm paying forward.
