Phillip's Simple Step Concept
00:00:27
Speaker
Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Uncommon Wealth podcast where I am your host, Phillip Ramsey, and coming at you with a quick, simple step. Here is the simple
Growth Through Challenges
00:00:36
Speaker
step. I feel like something that I've been learning is the harder it is, the more attractive it is for me because the more fruit it actually produces.
00:00:50
Speaker
What does that even mean? So I feel like the hardest things that I've had to endure in my life has produced the most fruit or most growth in my life. And so my question to you now is naturally I feel like we all have tendencies to be complacent or try to relax or not push in or definitely not do things hard for ourselves. So my question to you is what is that one thing that you were like, that would be hard.
00:01:17
Speaker
What would that be? First, identify it, and then two, what would it look like to chase after it?
Buffalo Analogy: Facing Challenges
00:01:22
Speaker
And if you know anything about this podcast, you know I'm pretty excited about how buffaloes handle weather, and they walk right into it. And the meaning of that is that when they walk towards a storm, they're actually in the storm a lot less because they're walking towards it, so they're going
00:01:38
Speaker
against the current basically and the clouds are going over them, but they go over them faster. And so if you can think of one thing that you are maybe could think about something that hard in your life, is that something that you should be going after is really the ultimate question.
Embracing Difficult Trials
00:01:54
Speaker
And what I found in my life is the answer is probably yes. And I would say the longer that trial is, the more I learn, which stinks, but
00:02:04
Speaker
It's true. So my challenge to you is to lean in and make yourself uncomfortable and
00:02:12
Speaker
and do that hard thing. Although it is hard, but what's going to happen in that I think it's going to be far better than the time it takes and the hard season it's going to endure. So I hope this encourages you.
Phillip's Personal Growth Challenge
00:02:25
Speaker
My challenge is one that I am challenging myself and this is happening on a day-to-day level, but I see the fruit from the hard work and I'm excited to be able to grow in such a way that
00:02:38
Speaker
I'm understanding and learning a lot. So hope this is encouraging to you. You've been listening to the UnCommonwealth podcast. Until the next time, go do something that's hard. Thanks for listening.
