b'This past weekend I spoke at the Thrive event in Las Vegas (which was amazing), and I also came to the realization that my life is one big classroom. You see, I got sick the morning of the day I was supposed to speak. I\\u2019m not sure if it was food poisoning or the flu, but needless to say I wasn\\u2019t going anywhere for a while. It was like life was flashing a big neon sign with a message that was impossible for me to ignore. In fact, there were multiple nudges, messages and signs that day, but I\\u2019ll leave those for another episode as I\\u2019m still marinating in a few of them. One thing I\\u2019ve come to realize though is that:\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cEvery single thing that happens can be a breakthrough lesson and everyone can be a teacher.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n Now this doesn\\u2019t mean that nothing bothers us, but it does mean that we get to choose how we view a particular situation and move through it. Yes, you may struggle and it may be annoying or painful, but the sooner we can accept it, the more quickly we\\u2019re able to advance to the next level.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cThe sooner we accept the obstacle as a lesson or the person as a teacher, we get to move through it faster.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n As Tom Bilyeu shared with me just the other day, \\u201cStruggle is guaranteed, success is not.\\u201d In order to get to the next level, we have to experience it all. And if we\\u2019re going to struggle, we may as well get something useful out of it, yes?\\n \\xa0\\n Compare it to a rookie\\u2019s journey to becoming a pro. There\\u2019s always that point where the rookie is thrown in the game and the team may win or they might lose. The rookie will learn the do\\u2019s and don\\u2019ts \\u2013 most likely the hard way. Whatever they experience though, it\\u2019s necessary because the coaches make the decision to move up that particular player if they don\\u2019t see them in action.\\n \\xa0\\n Once you realize that obstacles and people (yes, even those rude people in traffic) are here to teach us, you will experience a whole new level of freedom. It will be uncomfortable and you might shout expletives now and again, but practice and sharpening the skills of love, compassion, boundaries and saying no will help you step into that next level of your life.\\n \\xa0\\n --\\n In This Episode Lori talks about:\\n \\xa0\\n Why life is our classroom\\n Why struggle is inevitable\\n Viewing obstacles as lessons and people as teachers\\n \\xa0\\n \\xa0\\n Resources:\\n \\xa0\\n Aligned Registration Opens soon.
