163: You Decide with Dr. Obom Bowen

Purpose Through Pain

Do you ever question why things may happen to you? What do you do when adversity hits you? In this episode, Dr. Obom Bowen discusses how he went from suffering PTSD in combat, suicidal thoughts, divorce, and living homeless in his car for five years to making a decision. That decision has led him to be a millionaire today.

Key Takeaways:

• There's still a price to pay for everything we do.

• Want and desire are two different things. Want is a longing, a yearning you're not willing to do something for. A desire is what you, whatever it is, are yearning for.

• You don't get stuck. You refuse to move because it's painful to move forward.

• If you want to avoid going through it, pay somebody who went through it. That's going to do the word for you.

• It is the space that we need to move forward. It would be best if you had forward momentum.

• If you want to change, you'll have the opportunity to, but once that happens, you have to take action and do so.
