Description

Do you ever feel like life is unfair?  While it is true life has its disadvantages, there are also unfair advantages, if we can open our eyes to see them. That’s what McKay talks about on this episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast.  Hurdles, roadblocks, and inequities are inevitable.  But if we look closely, we can see how those inequities can set us up to have an unfair advantage.  After all, disappointments are often blessings in disguise. We can find a real silver lining in and grow from loss and disappointment that sometimes comes our way.In this episode, McKay walks us through the steps necessary to start looking for the unfair advantage.  With lessons about pursuing the path presented and working smarter, McKay’s ultimate goal is to help listeners embrace the uncomfortable and reach their true potential.  So listen to this special episode and start seeking out the unfair advantage in your own life.  The Finer Details of This Episode: Why change isn’t always fairUsing inequity in our favorGrowing from lossPursuing the path presentedWorking smarterEmbracing the wildly uncomfortableQuotes: “Life forces another wing to be added.  We have to remodel a worn out room, change something about ourselves we don’t want to change, and much of what has to change or get remodeled in our life isn’t always fair.”“Tragedy, illness, and other inequitable things will come our way. In a small way, I can relate. I have lived my entire life with pain, primarily back pain, from an accident at the age of 15. But through the years that pain has kept me more humble, more prayerful, and hopeful. Yes, it would be easier without it, but I can’t imagine who I would be without it.”“But it’s a great lesson in life to see how things can and do lean in our favor.”“Now losses in life aren’t always compensated or unfairness always repaired. And all of us should be in the business of helping others like Jennie Taylor with the means to support her family. But I do believe that we grow and become who we are supposed to be through things that are unfair.”“When things work against us, it can empower us to learn how to not just work hard but work smart.”“As you have likely heard, success leaves clues. You can learn a lot, gain unfair advantages from watching and learning from what other people do.”Links: https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
