Yo, it’s Vinny. I’m in a difficult season. How about you?
Are you feeling discouraged, confused, lost? Then you’re human, too.
The good news is this too shall pass, and we’ll be better for it.
If you strive to live a meaningful life, there’s gonna be pain, difficulty, challenges. That’s just part of the deal.
Everybody who’s gone on to live an exceptional life has endured such a season of hardship in one way or another, for it’s a rare person who can truly appreciate the light without an understanding of darkness.
At DTD we’ve made the commitment to showing you what it’s like not just on the other side of the fire, but dancing in the flames.
So here I am, dancing, hurting, smiling, persisting.
I don’t have the answers. I don’t know exactly what to do.
But instead of looking back once I make it through, I’ll share the advice I’m telling myself, as I soldier on beside you:
Just continue.
On this episode I discuss my own challenges at this moment, as well as those of the people I look up to. I’ve found that even those who seem to have it all, those with careers I’m striving for, struggle too.
We’re all battling, for the success, the relationship, the life we so badly desire doesn’t magically make the pain of being human go away.
We want what we don’t have. It’s in our DNA.
Achieving the thing we think will make us happy isn’t actually what makes us happy. Isn’t that wild? It’s the chase, the journey towards a goal, the climb which brings fulfillment, and what that means is we need something to climb for.
