I'm here standing in that place today, in that spot saying, look, you just use the same skill you've already developed at suffering, at misery, at feeling like you're a victim. But instead, I want you to do it in this manner, which is take the environment around you, use it as an excuse to feel a certain way, but use it as an excuse to feel incredible. And out of that incredible feeling, then go create your life.

Imagine if the very thing causing you pain could become your greatest strength. In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner dives into the unexpected concept of mastering suffering.
