    How To Use Difficulty To Your Advantage

    How To Use Difficulty To Your Advantage

    In nearly every circumstance, we wield the power of perception. "Good" and "bad" are concepts we impose. Within each challenge lies a narrative, shaped by our own storytelling. The designation of good or bad, or anything in between, rests entirely in our hands. This is the essence of perception. Just as a sculptor transforms a block of marble into a work of art, we possess the ability to shape our challenges into something remarkable and meaningful. In this episode, I discuss how to use difficulty to your advantage.
