Success isn't a guarantee in the future. Failure is, like, that's real.
In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the importance of taking proactive steps towards self-improvement and recovery. They challenge the notion of passively waiting for change, likening it to gambling on life with a lottery ticket. Instead, they advocate for slow, steady progress and intentional effort to develop oneself and grow. This journey, while demanding, leads to greater self-worth, confidence, and meaningful relationships.
They highlight that failure is an inevitable part of life, but it’s about learning from these failures and not being afraid to try again. Austin shares an exaggerated example of wanting to be an astronaut to illustrate the importance of self-reflection and realistic goal-setting. They stress the significance of understanding one’s habits and patterns to better navigate challenges and avoid relapse into addiction.
The episode is filled with practical advice and encouragement for anyone on the path to recovery, emphasising that success comes from doing the work on oneself and being aware of the factors that lead to setbacks. Tune in to gain valuable insights and motivation for your recovery journey.
