95. Learn the Secret to Turning Your Pain Into Your Superpower with Jill McAbe

Looking back at your own milestone can reveal things about where you started and what took you to where you are now that you might've already forgotten. The glory moments, losses, and sometimes even the old pain. If 'your pain is your superpower' is true, then where do we start? In this episode of The Fit Mess, Jill McAbe speaks about the great opportunity in hurting, how to reverse-engineer success, what she learned about the concept of leadership in relation to having followers, how purpose is defined, and as well as every insight from her book It's Go Time! Not feeling great about where you are? Then, listen to this episode of The Fit Mess with Jill McAbe! The Buffet of Life Sometimes, understanding things like purpose, mission in life, and values can be complicated when you're young. But in this episode, Jill explains why that's normal. Because you're still growing and have not seen half of your life yet, it's totally okay to not know everything crucial to your purpose. At least not yet. Jill uses the metaphor "buffet of life" when describing life's experiences. For someone who's already had more experience in life, their table would generally be more full or many in number than someone young. And because there's more at their table, they have more to reassess when identifying the experiences that gave them fulfillment. These experiences will help them better figure out the situations in their lives that gave genuine happiness, value, and the feeling of fireworks. For someone younger, this is also why it's essential to continuously put yourself out there. Exploring different things can expose you to many POVs that you can't learn if not firsthand.
