BRX Pro Tip: What Doesn’t Kill You…
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you this morning. Lee, you’ve heard this said before, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. What’s your take on that, man? Do you believe that’s true?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:14] 100%. I was just reading one of my favorite authors, Ryan Holiday of The Obstacle is the Way, he was saying that there’s actually research that supports this. That in his article he was saying that elite athletes that were seriously injured initially, obviously had doubts that they’d ever be able to recover and get back out. But after they got back, each of the elite athletes wanted to help others. They gained greater perspective. They gained deeper understanding of their strengths. And then after doing the rehab work, even though they faced the fear of not getting back, they actually became better versions of themselves. So not only were they better athletically, but they felt spiritually better, mentally better. They felt that they can overcome something. They’ve seen kind of their worst case scenario play out, and they were able to overcome it so that kind of created a better version 2.0 of themselves. So I think that when you go through a hard time, to really understand and appreciate going through it as a gift. And then if you can power through it and get through it, you have a high probability of becoming a better version of yourself when you do successfully navigate that challenge.
