Pathways To Greatness

What do I feel are 3 things everyone should think about to take advantage of an opportunity?

1. Prepare Daily

"I will prepare and someday my chance will come" Abraham Lincoln

2. Be decisive

"Opportunities multiply as they are seized." Sun Tzu

3. Have a growth mindset

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Wiston Churchhill

Greg Wanberg joins the show today and delivers some very compelling information for us all to consider and then put into action.

Here is a little bit about Greg:

My name is Greg Wanberg and I am the transformation coach for Dads.

I empower Dads to overcome depression by helping them:

Become the man they needed to give that man away.

Your problem is not what happened, not what you feel, not what you’re afraid of, and not what you weren’t given.

Your problem is that you have worked harder at your job and hobbies and feelings than you have worked on yourself.

You have approached mental and emotional health WITHOUT self-development.

You have approached your pain without an emphasis on those who need you.

And you wonder why you feel weak and lost?

-

With more than 21 years of experience in my own battle against depression, and teaching men and women of all ages, I can tell you there is a better way.

My program is the missing piece you thought you’d never find.

My programs has 3 pillars to strengthen your BODY, MIND, & SPIRIT:

Faith: right thought, hope

Fury: right action, self-development

Fortitude: right systems, lifestyle

My program is what I used to:

Have a thriving marriage DESPITE

Bond with my two children in the MIDDLE of a psychotic break

Grow in character, hope, and peace despite overwhelming emotional chaos

Create purpose from the pain I constantly felt

My program has allowed me to:

Help dads like YOU grow easier and faster than I did

Help dads like YOU develop relationships with their wives and kids that they did not think was possible

Find lasting peace and purpose with medication

I know that you genuinely want to change, but do not want to waste anymore money or time looking for it.

I know you have a dream life that doesn’t include you struggle so damn much inside yourself.

And I know the LAST thing you need is be told that you’re hopeless.

In this conversation, John and I talked about various topics including living a hundred percent, the choice between freezing time or going back in time, the preference between listening to a book or reading a book, and the journey of writing books.

I also delve into the concept of greatness and the importance of serving others. The conversation highlights the significance of leading by example and not judging others based on appearances.

Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of personal growth, resilience, and the power of love and service.

The conversation with John explores the transformation of Ryan, who fell away from his faith in God but found his way back through prayer and acts of service.

The chapters cover topics such as Ryan's transformation, the power of unanswered prayers, God's timing and will, finding gratitude and peace, finding fulfillment in serving others, imitating Christ, and the joy of seeing others come to Christ.
Takeaways
- Live a hundred percent and exhaust all your gifts.
- Choose to be present and lead by example.
- Serve others with love and compassion.
- Don't judge others based on appearances.
- Embrace personal growth, resilience, and the power of love and service. Prayer is a personal and individual experience, but the best advice is to - spend time with God in whatever way feels right for you.
- God's timing and will may not align with our own desires, but there is a greater purpose behind unanswered prayers.
- Gratitude and peace go hand in hand, and the most grateful people often have the greatest peace.
- Finding fulfillment in life comes from using your gifts and interests to serve others.
- Imitating Christ and living a life that glorifies God brings true transformation.
