TMHS 252: Turn Your Struggle Into Strength & Ignite Your Transformation - With Shaun T.

Published: Nov. 7, 2017, 11:48 p.m.

Every second of everyday, our minds and bodies are transforming. Transformation is a part of life. But all transformations are not created equal.

Personally, I\u2019ve transformed from a thriving athlete, into a couch potato with extra cheese and bacon bits. I\u2019ve transformed from being incredibly self-centered, to dedicating my life each day to serving others. I\u2019ve transformed many times in my life (as you have too!). Some for the good, and some for the not-so-good. But, the point is that transformation is a given. It\u2019s always happening whether you realize it or not. And the key is to get out in front of that transformation to guide your mind, body, and spirit where you want it to be.

How we transform, and what we transform into, is up to us more than we may realize. Part of the challenge with transforming our lives for the better is due to the struggles that we carry from our past. The things we\u2019ve been through may carry a tone of, \u201cYou\u2019ll never be able to accomplish it.\u201d \u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d \u201cNo one you know has ever done this before.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re not _______ (good enough, talented enough, intelligent enough, etc. [just fill in the blank with the negative things we hear and tell ourselves]).\u201d

Truly, transformation is an inside job that has to look those things right in the face and move past them. Marianne Williamson says, \u201cIt is our own thoughts that hold the key to miraculous transformation.\u201d We have the power inside us, but we need the tools to bring it out.

There\u2019s an art and science to transformation, and I know of no one better on the planet to help ignite the transformation in others than our guest today. He\u2019s impacted the lives of literally millions of people around the world, helping them to get fit, helping them to move past their excuses, and helping them to transform their lives.
