We explore two powerful concepts from Ryan Holiday's "The Obstacle Is The Way" that can transform how we approach life's challenges: loving everything that happens and cultivating perseverance.
• Thomas Edison's warehouse fire destroyed $23 million worth of inventions, yet he watched with wonder and returned to work the next day
• Shifting from "have to" to "get to" perspective reconnects us with gratitude and excitement
• The story of Olivia, who transformed flood devastation into an organization that's collected over 110,000 pairs of shoes for those in need
• Persistence is an action (hammering at a problem), while perseverance is a matter of will (staying in the game long-term)
• Professional athletes demonstrate perseverance by investing more hours and maintaining focus longer than competitors
• Our greatest obstacles are often self-created through doubt, fear, and hesitation
• When we live out wisdom actively rather than just collecting it, our lives become richer and more meaningful
We'd love to hear from you about ways we could make this experience better! Reach out to us about joining a book club or participating in live events as we continue this journey together.
