#27: How to Turn Adversity Into Victory - Lee Chambers
What if tomorrow you lost the ability to walk? How would you react? That's the type of challenge we explore with Lee Chambers (Environmental Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant). Because that's what happened to him and what spurred him into a life of service to others. We had an AMAZING conversation with Lee and learned a TON! He is an amazing example of taking everything that happens in life and making it work for you. As Lee puts it "Adversity always comes in our life, it doesn't discriminate...everything's a challenge to step up and become more."
The message that continues to pop up for me these past few weeks is this; Life happens for you, not to you. The ability to be grateful for everything that comes our way and get the most out of it is a super power of the successful.
If you want to learn how to turn challenge into triumph, this is the episode for you.
