Purposeful Pain {Podcast 75}
IN TODAY’S PODCAST….
I consider myself a little bit of a masochist. Don’t worry! It’s PURPOSEFUL PAIN. I love pain that comes with a sense of purpose – doing things that are for the greater good.
Now I talk a lot about purpose, passion and flow. Flow is critical. I don’t do stuff that I don’t wanna do. BUT I do a lot of stuff that hurts. Stuff that pulls me physically, mentally, emotionally, it’s in the CORE of my DNA.
Sometimes I’m in a ball, on the floor crying. Sometimes I get TWO HOURS of sleep. And sometimes I do shit that SCARES THE FUCK OUTTA ME.
I push myself in ways most people don’t. See, I race against myself – I work my freaking ASS OFF. I BLEED FOR MY DREAMS. I’d rather feeling that burn, pain and struggle, rather than sit around.. not going all out. Like COME ON!
Purposeful pain is TERRIFYING. Most people are lazy, and let fears control them. See it’s not a bad thing to go out of your comfort zone. It’s not. It’s not even a bad thing to crash and burn.
Go into the your day to STRETCH, to PUSH, and to GROW. And remember… if you fall down today, get up and go again!
• Consider the concept of purposeful pain – and the results you can get through pushing through pain
• Sometimes you’ll cave – and that’s OKAY!
• We’re human. We don’t have to win every single time
• Pain is not something to avoid
• REMEMBER to ALWAYS look after yourself
• Purposeful pain is all about how you want to live your life… do you want to live all out?
