Adversity now, Advantage later The verse that says, “gold is tested by fire” holds a lot of meaning. For one,  it is referring to the genuineness of faith. The same goes for a person’s character. The adversities and most challenging moments in our life are usually the most difficult times to go back and talk about in the open.   If we really think about it, we are all soldiers in the warzone, and battle scars are nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, we should take pride in them because if we look closer, they are the reason we become the real person that we are, stronger and wiser. This week on the show, Brett Eaton will talk about how you can go straightforward and intentional about approaching life, coming out stronger after surviving adversities, being brutally aware of yourself, going about every little detail that will move you closer to fulfillment, and being crystal clear of what you want to achieve. And these come with the tagline, “Adversity now, advantage later.” Brett mentions the top 3 things on how you can practice intentionally towards your goals and playing life on the offense:1. Having brutal self-awareness2. Choosing commitment over comfort3. Setting measurable goals and tracking progress These are the episode highlights you shouldn’t miss: 01:40  Brett’s journey to becoming a coach04:08  The fundamental pillars of Brett’s coaching07:58  The mindset and practices of high-performance achievers11:50    How to nurture continued self-awareness intentionally13:26   How to be more effective with time management and creating goals15:36   What you can do to remove distractions and time-wasters so we can narrow down to things that we are really passionate about.17:36   How to fill life with things that are energizing and less of what’s draining17:47   How to turn adversity into an opportunity20:41   How writing on paper can help one sort out the lessons from  adversity27:09   The analogy between dating and adversity29:15    Why everyone has a certain level of confidence and how to keep building it36:44   The daily habits that Brett follows39:02   His definition of love40:29   His secret to living a fulfilled life42:06   What Brett wants his legacy to be43:33   The most influential people in his life45:51   How small changes can make great impact Episode Challenge
