The lousy Part of Adulting

In this episode of Run Toward the Roar, host John Robertson dives into the lousy part of adulting and the importance of thriving even when faced with challenges.

He discusses the concept of “adulting stinks” and how it requires individuals to do things they don’t feel like doing.

John also delves into the old English word for patience, “long-suffering,” and shares a story about how a shift in perspective helped reduce complaints about long wait times at an airport.

Through the episode, John expands on the theme of drifting and the significance of not losing sight of one’s reference points, which can lead to being a danger not only to oneself but also to others.

You are reminded to savor and honor your accomplishments and surroundings, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey and making meaningful connections along the way.
