In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes a deeper look at why so many goals fail - and makes the case that it's not a lack of motivation, discipline, or strategy that holds us back, but a misunderstanding of suffering.
Using the backdrop of New Year's resolutions and goal-setting frameworks like SMART goals, Darryl explores why enthusiasm fades, why accountability alone often falls short, and why discomfort is an unavoidable, and necessary, part of meaningful growth. Drawing from personal stories, scripture, and real-world observations, this episode reframes suffering not as failure, but as a process that builds perseverance, character, and long-term hope.
Key highlights of the episode include:
If you've ever wondered why change feels harder than it should, or why progress stalls even when you "know what to do," this episode offers a powerful mindset shift. Whether your goals involve health, finances, relationships, or personal growth, Darryl's message is a reminder that growth rarely happens without discomfort - and that endurance, built over time, is what ultimately leads to hope.
