John Assaraf opens a YouTube video by reflecting that major challenges and traumas in his life (about six or seven) have ultimately propelled him into improved versions of himself. He recounts reflecting after a meditation on experiences from his late teens that felt devastating at the time but, in hindsight, produced growth. The piece is a first-person, reflective monologue about reframing hardship.

Chapters

Have you ever considered the fact that sometimes some of the biggest challenges in your life propel you to the next version of yourself? I was thinking a little bit this morning right after my meditation, how I've had six or seven major, I guess, traumas. Major negative things happen, but they're not negative, of course, when you think about them in reverse, right from the. From the present moment to the past. And I was thinking about all the way to the time when I was, think, 17, 18, and how whatever was happening in my life at that time seemed devastating, traumatic, negative, etc. And how it challenged me and in some ways forced me to becoming the next, better version of myself.
