Power Acronym 13: P.U.H.

Get used to this P.U.H.💩

I once watched an episode of The Twilight Zone in which a criminal dies and enters the afterlife. He’s in a mansion, has everything he could ever want, and he can even commit a crime without ever getting caught.

As much as a life of guaranteed pleasure and leisure sounds like paradise, it's important to remember how temporary pain cultivates and builds character, strength, and the will to endure.

Eventually, he’s done it all and begins to feel numb. None of it matters anymore. It’s at this low point he realizes he’s been in Hell all along.

What if the Pain, Uncertainty, and Hard Work were precisely the things you were made to overcome?

Just say Bring it On! (Power Acronym 5: B.I.O.) and live in strength, confidence, and commitment.
