Apogee Strong

About this episode

The different suffering we experience in life can bring us down. We may find it difficult to stand up, especially if no one supports us. But with grit and perseverance, we can help ourselves continue moving forward. And as we walk, you will find the strengths you have, which you can utilize to be happy and successful in life.

Michael Butler shares his life story of how he dealt with depression during childhood and the problems he had because of his poor physical fitness. He will talk about why you should continue doing what you love even if there’s no one supporting you, the importance of getting physically fit, and more. Tune in as future leaders ask questions about life, fitness, and personal growth.

Quotes: “I did much of the stuff I wanted to do without anybody else's support. And so I kind of learned to do it on my own. And you realize that you have the strength to do it. You really do. There's more to us than we think there is. And we have more strength than we think we have. And we have more grit than we think we have. We just need something to call it out.” – Michael Butler

“One of the reasons why now, in the men's work that I'm doing, physical fitness is one of the foundations for everything I do. So like what our friend Bedros Culion says, physical fitness is the gateway drug to men's self-improvement. If we can get you in the gym and start working out; we can change the rest of your life.” – Michael Butler

“We always make time for what's important. If you want it, you will make time for it. It's a matter of priorities and how bad you want it. ” – Michael Butler

Takeaways: Even though you think you cannot do it, even if no one supports you, just do it. Have the passion, desire, and hard work to learn what you love, and you will realize you can do it more than you think.

Improving your physical fitness has so much effect on improving the quality of your life. One of the benefits of doing it is to gain self-confidence. If you have confidence in yourself, your behavior and how you carry and present yourself will change. As a result, the way people treat you will change drastically.

If you want to spend time doing what you love, you will not find the time for it; you will make it. If it is so important, no matter what it is, you will make the time for it.

Conclusion: Find your strengths and utilize them, don’t let your circumstances get to you. Continue to do what you love, even if no one supports you. Learn and work hard, and eventually, you will have the things you want, which you can be proud of.
