Podcast Mini - Sometimes Life Takes Something You Want...

One of my favorite quotes and how it's impacted my life

Episode Transcript:

Hey, everyone j here with another episode of Life, Next Level podcast, Youtube channel, all that good stuff. Um Today I just want to talk about one of my favorite quotes and if you have listened to my podcast before, I know that I brought it up in some of our longer foreign podcast, but I felt it's worth bringing up in a podcast many episode as well. Um hopefully you can take something away from it and I'm also going to go a little bit in depth into what why it means so much to me. So on my personal growth journey of which I've touched down a little bit. Um there was, there was a point in time that I moved to Hawaii, I moved there alone, but I had my girlfriend at the time was gonna move with me in a few months, so I moved out there, found us a place, all that good stuff and then she didn't end up coming. So I'll get into that story another day, but it hurt me a lot. I was, I was far away from all my friends and family and all of a sudden I was alone and you've never felt so alone is when you all of a sudden move, what is it three or 4000 miles away from where you were at and, and and then you just kind of totally alone And it was very hard for me, I was in paradise but miserable for for a long time. So I went through a personal growth journey that really helped me be who I am today. So the quote that I'm referring to is I had heard it on the tim Ferriss podcast, I've never been able to look back and actually attributed to somebody, but I heard it on there and I've heard other people say other variations of it, but the one that always sticks with me is when tim Ferriss said it on this podcast, which is sometimes life takes something you want in order to give you something you need. And I fully believe in that. It took me a while to get over everything that I was going through. But now that I look back on it, I am a completely changed person. I went through a lot of personal growth myself. I was getting comfortable in life and comfortable isn't where I want to be. And so looking back, I realized I was had been unhappy for a while and uh and so it wasn't just my relationship, I still think she's a great person, but it was, it was my job, it was just a 9 to 5 and I went in and sleepwalk through the day and then came home and watch netflix on the couch and well, I mean whatever, but I just didn't have that ambition and to grow to personally grow and now, I mean I'm growing in new ways every single day, so if you're thinking or maybe you're going through something right now or maybe you're thinking of a situation you're still not quite over If you can look back on and look at it like that and make an effort to change and say, hey, you know, I'm going to be who I want to be. Maybe this is one of those instances that life took something I wanted to give me something that I need and if you can better yourself, then then all the better for you. So um again, sometimes life takes something you want to give you something you need. Uh if you have another favorite quote, that's kind of along the same subject lines, drop it in the notes. Otherwise, if you're going through a situation like that, please reach out, let me know. Um I would love to help any way I can. All right. I hope you'll have a great day and we'll see you next time. Hello? Ha.
