A good captain is not made from calm seas
Welcome to Run Toward The Roar!
The how far we get to go in life is determined by how willing we are to continue. That being said, our attitude is one of the important support structures in our ability to thrive.
In this episode of Run Toward The Roar, John talks about understanding ourselves enough to work on how we respond to triggers around us, and how crucial it is to have people who can help us navigate through the eddies that tend to keep us stuck in one place.
Take a moment to listen and learn about the impact of attitude in every single event of our lives, while keeping in mind that our attitude in responding is how we choose it to be.
