So I want you to think about a time you had a challenge in your life. So what was it, and what did you do when that challenge popped up? Maybe you're experiencing a challenge right now with all the economic uncertainty, the political craziness. That's the topic of this week's Own Your Power clip. The power you bring into your life when you embrace and own, and really push through challenges.

Are you challenged with how you're going to build that financial freedom for yourself and for your family? How are you going to build a legacy? Are you going to use real estate, this real estate game to build that life you deserve? If you've decided real estate is the vehicle for you to do it, I want you to know I don't just teach multifamily any longer. I'm actually also teaching investing in senior housing. I'm not talking about doing the senior care, I'm talking about buying the real estate. 10,000 people a day are turning 80 in this country every single day for the next 20 years. My students and I already own thousands of senior housing units. I've got a one-day virtual senior housing bootcamp coming right up. It's virtual, it's one day, it's only 17 bucks to attend, and I don't sell anything there. So no excuses, it's a full day of training with nothing being sold for $17.

So text the word senior to 72345 or go to buysenior.com right now, and take that first freaking step towards your financial freedom. You're going to have an amazing time and you'll leave so freaking juiced, you'll be coming out of your skin. So again, text senior to 72345 or go to buysenior.com. I'll see you soon. All right, let's get to it. As I said, today we're going to talk about the power you own when you embrace and push through challenges. Now, some people when they encounter a difficulty or a challenge, they feel like it was putting their path to destroy them. Not realizing that challenges are what make your life meaningful and interesting. They're there to help you grow and become more and make you stronger.

Many people become fearful or upset when they encounter a challenge. Forgetting that challenges help you discover who you really are.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said unless you try something beyond what you've already mastered, you're never going to grow. And if you're not growing, you're dying. You see, happiness comes from progress and growth. And without those challenges, you never grow. And remember this, the larger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity. I've always found that to be the case. Now, when you don't challenge yourself, you're never going to discover what you're truly capable of and who you can become. You know, and you'll never be victorious either. Speaking of victorious, General George Patton in World War II said, accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. So instead of fearing and running from challenges, be grateful for them because they help you build your strength and your character. You know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Challenges cause you to change. And frankly, if something doesn't challenge you, it's not going to change you. The most successful people on the planet are the ones that embrace change. Candidly, if you don't have any challenges, respectfully, you're really not trying. Now, if you don't have challenges, you should be challenging yourself because when you challenge yourself to do something you didn't think you could, you come to the realization that you're truly capable of doing anything. Now, we're all growing and becoming more and more and we're all works in progress. And the wonderful thing about our challenges is that they help us discover what we're truly capable of.

Get motivated, my friend. Get motivated by your challenges. When you encounter a challenge, you've got the option of making excuses or you can decide to make a freaking difference. Now, I truly believe God or the universe, whatever you believe, doesn't throw challenges in front of you that you can't handle. And what if everything that happened to you was by design? And what if these challenges were put there by a higher power because they know you can handle it? What if you look at your challenges as gifts?

So, my friend, don't try to limit the amount of challenges you have. Instead, push yourself to challenge your own limits. And when life challenges you, don't cower and say, why me?

Stand up strong and say, freaking try me. I'm Rod Khleif wishing you incredible passion and massive success because you embrace challenge.
