Have you guys ever heard the phrase “embrace the suck?”

I hear this phrase all the time, and honestly, I used to live by it. I used to think that everything had to suck to one day be great. I thought pain, terrible things, toxic relationships were part of the journey and accepted it with the hope that maybe one day everything will be great.

In this episode, I share how six years ago, I graduated from basic survival training with the military. We got sent into the woods to survive and hunt for ourselves. We had to trek across the colorado mountains in the snow. I am sharing this because, at this point in my life, I remember embracing the suck was something I heard every day. You would ask people how their day was, and they would say, “embracing the suck!”

I thought that if I stick through this path I was on eventually, something great will happen. But guys, there is something different between knowing something is not right for you, knowing it sucks, knowing it’s toxic, knowing it’s damaging and hurtful. It is very different putting up with that than embracing the hard work, the dedication, consistency, and effort it takes to build something amazing for yourself.

Because the truth is, you do not have to embrace the suck to have an amazing life. I want you to know that no. You don’t have to embrace the suck, in my opinion, it’s all about finding the hard-ass work that is going to be fulfilling, and empowering and exciting. And that is not going to look the same for everybody.

So if you feel a heart tug to do more, be more show up as more, and live a bigger life, take a step in that direction. Start with one step at a time, it is going to be challenging, but it will be worth it.

I believe in YOU, my friend!
