Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

Sometimes you got to stop focusing and thinking about what could have happened and what should have happened and you got to live in what is happening, right?

Because I always say to him, stop trying to understand it and focus on surviving it.

Because the quicker you can survive it, the quicker you can use it, the quicker you can extract

a lesson from it, the quicker you can glean perspective from it.

And for all of us, we're going to encounter those defining moments in our lives, right,

to where it's going to hurt, right?

You went through it? I went through it. I remember I said to somebody like, man, it felt like

I was in a boxing match and I just got killed. Life just knocked me out, bro, and I'm on the mat

trying to find my mouthpiece, right? I'm like spinning out blood.

I see him over there counting, right?

I'm looking at my guy in the corner.

He's going to throw in the towel.

I'm like, not yet.

And I find his strength to muster up to get myself up.

You're like, all right, let's go.

I'm ready.

Now, I never forget that person saying, you know what, life is so cold-blooded,

you're going to get knocked out like that again. And again and again. So the challenge is,

will you learn the lessons from it so the lessons doesn't have to keep getting repeated

and you keep having to learn so when you go through these

things of opposition adversity and challenge it's always a lesson it's always a blessing it's up to us to
