Go premium at www.feelgoodenglish.com/go  We as humans love the stories of incredible successes. Stories of people doing things that seem impossible. But I got to thinking, “you know when something terrible happens to someone, this person becomes limited to just what’s in front of them. Their options have been taken away from them. And it seems that it’s exactly because their life becomes limited that their life is transformed.  It’s as if going through something traumatic is the fuel, or you could say the catalyst, that leads to great transformation. Now I’m not saying we should try to seek out tragedies, don’t do that, please. But what if we could tap into, meaning “utilize”, tap into what these people feel when they are faced with such limitations. These limitations have forced them to be extremely creative, inspired them, and have helped them find a whole new level of motivation. What can we learn from these stories? And how can we apply what they discovered to our lives without having to go through such a tragic event? Is it even possible? That’s what I’m going to talk about today, and I found a Ted Talk that I think is very relevant to these questions.

  • Yes, I'm talking to you.

  • Today's episode is based on a thought I had.

  • Because I read so much these days and because I share what I learned with you on this podcast,

  • I have started to think a little deeper about what I'm teaching.

  • I don't want to be the guy who tells you

  • that all you need in life is a goal and motivation to reach that goal.

  • That is way too simple.

  • And for most people, reaching our big goals can be much more complicated.

  • So I think that what I am here to do, at least for now, until I completely change my mind,

  • is to ask myself how I can make the lessons from books that can change your life more relatable.

  • Relatable.

  • So you can actually apply these lessons to your life and see results.

  • Sometimes we expect amazing, transformational things to happen to us.

  • We expect our lives to replicate what we see online and on tv.

  • But in general, life is a bit more uneventful, meaning not always exciting.

  • Our lives don't usually reflect all the amazing things we see in the media.

  • So instead of trying to make your life or make my life look like the lives of those people that do such amazing things things,
