31: No Really, Rubbing Dirt On it is Not the Answer

Summary

I had another pretty large personal experience last week that reminded me how important it is for us to be more deliberate in life. I was pretty sick and then got the word that my dad had passed away. Even with that, I still struggled to apply some of the lessons I have been sharing with y'all. So today, I thought I'd take a slightly different approach to being deliberate during hard experiences. I hope you will get something out of this episode.

Key Takeaways

Being deliberate during or even right after tough experiences will help us get more out of them and be better because of them.
Try and be present
Ask yourself questions like:
What can I learn from this situation that I may not learn any other way
What could I be doing now that I can't normally do or may never get an opportunity to do again
How will I be better because of this
Reflect on:
What matters most right now?
What matters most in my life in general?
Are there course corrections I'd like to make?
Slight Future Focus:
What will be different when this too passes?
How will I apply what I have learned?
How will I be better prepared for something similar happening in the future?
