If Your Path Demands You Walk Through Hell...

Rob shares some  life lessons for this episode including thwarted goals, other peoples stories, perception and perfection and self acceptance, stalwart attitude and positive language. KEY TAKEAWAYSThings always take longer than you think. Frustrations and setbacks make clear our vulnerability and increase our humility. Remember, concentrate on what is within your control and do not waste energy or worry on those you cannot.  Learn from other peoples enriching experiences by listening to their stories. In this way you can gain perspective. It's easy in the current world to assume, especially with social media misinformation, that the rest of the world is perfect except for our little bit of it. Do not edit your life to make it appear perfect. Accept yourself.The longer you cling on to that rock when you should be letting go and going with the flow, take on that difficult task, have that awkward conversation, the more stuck you will be. Do not underestimate the power of language. Positive language actually helps you live longer while communicating better. A good attitude is priceless. BEST MOMENTS ‘It seems to me that in the past few weeks and months that every single thing that I've had a go at has been thwarted. Goals I've set, dates I've set, things I wanted to achieve, people I wanted to contact. Problems here, things arising that you couldn't see. I've had to swallow a bit of my own medicine.' ‘There are people out there, people you admire, people you look up to, people you want to be like, and everybody else, are succeeding, They've got this, they've got that, the job, the career, the ‘life path', whatever it is. It's only little old you that are struggling along and getting knock backs, illnesses, financial issues, career issues that are thwarting us. Let me tell you it is a fallacy.'‘A beautiful statement from Henri Nouwen. “Better to cry than to worry”. What a beautiful statement. What does the world say to us when we've got a problem? “Oh don't cry”. What do your loved ones say to you? “Oh don't cry”. Rubbish!! Absolute piffle!! Don't worry. Cry.' VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast    ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
