A speaker shares how recognizing the purpose behind relationship pain led to personal transformation. They redirected that experience into writing about past relationships, finding that the most painful stories resonate most strongly with audiences and sometimes go viral.
Some people do have it easy, I guess with love, they marry the first person they ever dated. And that's great, but I guarantee you they have immense struggles in other areas. For some of us, okay, love is the struggle. This is going to be my struggle in life. But you know what? This is going to be where I grow. Because our struggles in life are our biggest growth opportunities. And so we have to embrace the struggle, okay? We don't want it. We don't want it to be there, but we have to embrace it. And I struggled so immensely with my relationships. And I always felt like when I was going through it all, I always felt like my pain has to have a purpose. This can't just be for nothing. And then I realized, obviously the purpose was in helping me grow and develop and stop being someone who was so self destructive, because that was my biggest problem for a long time. And instead I created a career writing about my relationships, talking about my past relationships. And the stories that were the most painful for me at the time are the ones that resonate. There are certain guys where when I tell the story about those relationships, it just goes instantly viral and resonates with so many people.
