Forgiveness and Choosing Happiness

PLAY THE LONG GAME.

The cover of a book never tells the entire story. 

People often assume that successful people have had an easy life. 

Many, though, have persevered through extremely painful life events. 

Sometimes it takes accepting your reality in order to move forward.

Sometimes it takes forgiveness. 

You will face setbacks and some of those setbacks might be tragic.

Preparation and process can get you far. But sometimes you need to dig even deeper and release yourself from the grip of a traumatic event in order to truly move forward. 

You will be tested. But keep going. Face your reality, follow your dreams and live with purpose.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about turning tragedy into triumph and living out your rock star dreams with an NFL superstar and elite magician: Jon Dorenbos.
