We all want to level up our lives, don't we? In this episode, Mark Black is sharing what he believes is the number one tool to help you discover your full potential, ensure you're operating at 100%, and help you grow into the person you were meant to be! What is the secret? Doing difficult or challenging things! While this may seem a little counterintuitive in a world where ease and convenience is taking over, the truth is that the more comfortable we get, the harder it is to handle life when it doesn't go exactly the way we want it to. The result? Prolonged Unhappiness. When things go wrong, or are out of our control, we tend to drag out the resistance to the issue, the feelings of dissatisfaction, and even the anger or frustration surrounding the issue! Doing hard things won't ensure that bad things never happen to you again, but it will make those bad things so much easier to deal with when they do arise. Does this sound like something you'd like to participate in? Click play and tune into this week's episode of Level Up Your Life!
