SLP 047: Purpose Through Pain with Matthew Paetz

Emotions control the way we navigate different experiences in life, taking ownership of our emotions – not only our actions – is the key to self-development. While it's very important to try to heal negative emotions, traumas and stories; it's also important to give space for other people's emotions, traumas and stories to be healed. It's not a competition about who suffered the most.   In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian sits down with Matthew Paetz to discuss exactly that: the more we look at emotional pain and traumas as the steering wheel of our lives, the deeper these same traumas can go. On that note, while physical pain cannot be hidden, emotional pain can and that's why it is so important to work on it. The goal here is transforming the pain; making it fuel for purpose.   In this episode, you will learn: How all sorts of emotions, control our life experience; It's important to look at the context of the traumas and try to understand it; Often times, judging other people's past experiences and underestimating them is what causes disconnections; How Matthew sees the difference between emotional pain vs. physical pain; There's no right or wrong in life, just different perspectives for the same problem; How to take ownership for your emotions, your actions, and your words; How to manage emotions in a relationship along with your partner.   Connect with Matthew!
