Listen to the 7 min episode right here

• How did a guy named Augustine go from a drunk, contemplating suicide to selling over 50 million books in over 25 languages?
• How do you deal with Adversity?
• • Adversity doesn’t care how good you’ve been; how loyal you are; nor how low you already are.
• There’s no better school than Adversity
• • All of us enroll, but none of us graduate.
• • You can’t delegate adversity , you have to attend your own school of adversity.

• “All of us are tested in the furnace of disaster, but not all of us will emerge, but I will emerge. Gold can remain in the fiery furnace for months and not lose a grain and I am more precious than gold.” 

• You can’t hide nor outrun adversity, she’ll catch you eventually.
• “The gem cannot be polished without friction and I cannot be polished without trials.”

Excuse Me?

  
Someone can take away your home, car, job, money- even your children, but no one can take away your excuses. You’re the only one who can let go of excuses. Excuses justify why you’re where you are today and release you from an obligation to give more. Let go of the excuses of where you’ve been and where you are and take responsibility to where you’re heading.
