Episode notes
Start Over And Rebuild Bigger
- Start over repeatedly whenever winds (setbacks) knock you down; rebuild larger each time.
- Use setbacks to strengthen your flame rather than let them extinguish you.
Fight Fatigue For A Second Wind
- Fight fatigue by pushing past perceived limits; you often have an extra reserve.
- Create your second wind intentionally; it surpasses the first when you refuse to quit.
Desire Trumps Destination
- The journey matters more than the destination; desire is the metric God judges.
- Desire, fueled by lack and setbacks, determines spiritual elevation more than mere achievement.
