How to Succeed in the Face of Adversity w/ Joe De Sena

Living in this world, we will encounter challenges, adversities, bad moments, and misery. And that’s just how life goes. Of course, we will also have memorable, beautiful, and happy moments that drive us to continue living. Adapting and continuing walking in our life journey is how we can succeed.

Joe De Sena shares his experiences, lessons, and expertise throughout his life. He will tell how the neighborhood where he grew up helped him be hardworking and ultimately led to his current career. Listen as Joe De Sena discusses the reasons why the present generation lacks morality when it comes to commitment, the need to quit taking words quickly, the value of physical training programs, and the fact that difficult experiences are a natural part of life.

Quotes:

• “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” – Joe De Sena
• “We're all gluttons. That's why there are so many fat people walking around. It's like, naturally, we just want to eat. And so abstain from overeating; it's hard to do.” – Joe De Sena.
• “You're going to fail, and that's okay. You're going to fail, but look what's possible. There is nothing impossible.” – Matt Beaudreau

Takeaways:

• We must stop being a crybaby and strengthen ourselves so that words can’t simply hurt us.
• We have an innate desire to consume and sate our cravings as humans. Therefore it's challenging to avoid eating. So going through a program that encourages you to be physically active and disciplined in your eating habits is essential.
• You will inevitably experience hard and challenging things, but that’s just part of life. So if you're going to have to choose, choose your heart.

Conclusion:

Life is a roller coaster ride of joy, sadness, and hard and good moments. We just need to adapt and slowly toughen ourselves from the lessons we learn from our mistakes and failures. Challenges are inevitable, but we can take them as an opportunity to level up and be better people each day. We only live once, so be sure to live with fulfilment and choose what your heart and mind say.
