Wisdom Wednesday - Why You're Soft

Wisdom Wednesday

Today I'm bringing you the fire short and sharp because:

1) I have to go to the hospital soon to check on my dad.

2) I feel too many people tip toe around the hard fact that they're not putting in the work.

So let me give it to you in a poetic way from Seneca.

"The trials you face will introduce you to your strengths." Seneca.

And now let me give it to you the simple Brock Ashby way.

"When you go through hard times, you become stronger." Brock Ashby.

And not only do we become stronger from facing hard times, we become more resilient.

As $hit as it was losing my mum at a young age, it has built me into a man that can handle any hardship. Nothing is harder than losing your mum.

As $hit as it was to only have enough money for 3 weeks of rent in 2020, it strengthened me to become a problem solver, not a push over, and grow Team Brock Ashby in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

As $hit as it was working from 6am - 8pm at the gym as a personal trainer Monday - Friday and then washing dishes at a hotel for extra cash on Friday - Sunday to get by, it taught me that I have a huge capacity to work hard.

"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times." G. Michael Hopf.

Hard times create strong people.

So instead of running away from the stresses of your life, the hard conversations that you need to have and the workouts that need to get ticked off.

Run straight into them and get stronger.
