And then I get to sit down and have an awesome conversation with the amazing Bethany Hamilton. You've probably heard of her-she's a professional surfer, inspirational speaker, author, mom and wife. Her incredible story will inspire you. Then, I'll take you through some journal questions on the idea of perseverance when you feel like giving up. \\xa0 You Need This When Life Knocks You Down. When it comes to reaching goals, pushing past limits, and trying new things, we often look to successful people to give us a formula we can follow. But so often, we're looking to the wrong things. We think it's their financial status, the relationships they have, the connections they make, what family they were born into, or even how they're uniquely wired. And while some of that may be true, those are not the true indicators of success. It comes down to one word. Are you ready for it? Perseverance. It's about pushing through and being willing to try again. And again. And again. It's persistence and never giving up. When we fail or fall down, it hurts. It bruises our ego and wounds our hope for the future. And that voice in our head starts to get really loud: Never again. I'm not going to do that again. I'm not going to risk that again. I'm not going to put myself out there like that again. See, that's proof. I never should've done that. See, that was dangerous. See, I wasn't cut out for that. See, I told you. We look at our failures and mistakes, and we use them as proof of why we never should've done the thing to begin with. I had a speaking event where I absolutely bombed-like, I wanted to disappear behind the podium. I cried the entire drive back to Nashville and told myself, Never again. I'll never speak again. I'll never walk on a stage. I'll never put myself out there like that to be embarrassed or humiliated again. Never again. But I did. And I'm so glad I did, because the number one reason I've been able to do anything I do is because I was willing to try again. It's all about perseverance. Just simply getting back up, dusting yourself off, and being willing to show up again and hold your head high-even when you're embarrassed. \\xa0 How to Become Unstoppable with Bethany Hamilton Y'all, Bethany Hamilton joined me today to talk about becoming unstoppable.
