Think about something that happened to you in your life that was a struggle to overcome. Maybe it was a divorce, a sports injury, an unfavorable medical diagnosis, or the death of a loved one. And now ask yourself: why?
It’s not so much about understanding the ‘why’ from a victim’s perspective, but seeing beyond that, and realizing the opportunity for growth that comes with learning from struggle. That’s the victor mentality. Of course, you have to apply that learning to get better and stronger in life, but understanding the ‘why’ is a big part of turning your current struggle into future success.
Dr. David and his wonderful co-host Sarah are well into their groove in this, the third episode of Making The Change. From being present as a parent to learning to rely on your mind rather than your body, they are offering up wisdom that can make all the difference to how you see your current situation.
Now ask yourself: why do I need to make a change in my life now? Looking at your biggest struggles and the lessons you’ve learned can empower you to apply those lessons so you can improve. Making The Change starts here and now.
“There’s always that question ‘why?’ when we’re talking about your spiritual life.” ~ Dr. David Suarez

- Understanding Why: going from Victim to Victor
- Dr. David uses his own pain to help his patients by having the perfect words to say
