E16. Unanswered Prayers

Most of us accept that life lessons are a part of the deal. I'm starting to see that maybe those lessons are also about the bigger picture. Perhaps the things and desires that we want and don't achieve are there to help us help others. This past week I was invited to speak to students at Notre Dame in the entrepreneurial program. What I shared with them wasn't about success. It was about the hard lessons I had learned. I wouldn't have been invited to share if I hadn't had those lessons. This episode is about viewing our story from a longer lens and trusting that everything good or bad happening to us is a part of the plan for us to contribute to others.
