PURPOSE

No matter what happens, it has its purpose. This is a tough one, and I think most important. This is about suffering a great loss or a huge injury, going bankrupt, or enduring some other tragedy or trauma. It may not even be of that magnitude, but it’s huge to you and words can’t define it, which is why it may be hard for anyone else to understand the significance of the event.
The point is, it changes your life. How it changes your life may not be seen for years to come, but sooner or later you will begin to see a pattern of events that leads to some- thing—believe it or not—that turns out to be very good for you.
A personal example: The day I tore my pec off was one of the worst days of my life (at that time). I felt that I was done with powerlifting, as my surgeon told me. But when I look back, it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. This event is one of the main reasons I decided to move to Columbus.
This then led to a series of events—training at Westside, working as personal trainer, founding elitefts - that has changed my life in more ways than just training. There have been many other major events that have changed my life that seemed very bad at first but led the way to bigger and better things. The key is to try and remember this while you’re suffering through the bad parts.

Years back... Walking in the zoo with my adopted ASD child. So many things about both my adopted children have changed my life in ways I can never express. Again, a pattern of events that formed purpose that will not just enhance my life but my sons as well.
