Transcript of How to Leverage Pain as Your Greatest Motivator
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul AlexWelcome to the LevelUp podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together. Remember, I have your six. Get ready to LevelUp right now. Welcome back to LevelUp podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and in three minutes, you'll learn how to turn pain into fuel. I still remember a night, I got a hard call, go wrong. No one was hurt, but my pride was. I replayed it for days. That sting had made me better. I let it make me better. I wrote down what went wrong and why it hurt. I promised myself to learn what I did not know yet. Later, a business pitch fell flat. It felt the same. I sat with it and found the gift. So one thing to learn from these two examples, guys, pain shows what you value. Pain points to the gaps you can close. If you run from pain, it it teaches you. If you face pain, it teaches you. This is true at any desk or stage in your life.
Let pain sharpen your focus. Let pain humble your ego. Let pain lift your standards. The goal is not to be pain-free or not to have a pain-free life. The goal is to have a purposeful life. So you will still feel this thing. You will also still feel stronger next time. So hope does not mean easy. Hope means it is worth it. Every scar can become a skill. Every setback can become a story of growth. So do not waste your hurts. Let them pay rent. Let them build wisdom. Let them feel action with heart. Here is the moral of this podcast. Use pain as a teacher, not a jailer. For more new episodes and guest appearances, check out our Instagram page, The Level Up with Paul Alex. Let's level you up today.
