Seeing the Blessings in Disguise with Christian Elliott - Episode 271
Episode 271 is about finding the blessing.
There are moments when we think things will always go our way. But suddenly, BOOM! they're gone. In one instance, Christian Elliott had it all—a successful business and money in the bank too. Problems arose and his company went bankrupt. He didn't let his loss become too much for him. Rather than relying solely on prayer or waiting for miracles to occur— he did something about it. And along the way, he found himself.
Starting with a clean slate, everything was perfect. His wife supported him; his children inspired him. He listened to podcasts and read books—anything to improve himself. And then it suddenly clicked: he had figured out what was wrong, but now wasn't the time for celebrating. There were still plenty of hurdles ahead on this lifelong path toward being a better version of himself.
This can be your story too. This episode is where we prove that anybody can turn their life around and find a better version.
Especially if you feel like you are stuck in a rut. Our Men on Purpose community can help you with how to cope in times of trouble. Follow us on this journey at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/
