How my daily ups and downs led to overall growth

Today, we’re talking about what it really takes to build a foundation for your life. It’s a theme we’ve explored before on the show but one that looks different for all of us. Our guest is George Wong, of San Francisco, California, who shares how his Buddhist practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo has allowed him to turn his difficulties with school and self-worth into a career creating value from every experience.

SHOW NOTES:


2:44 Getting rejected from college inspires George to start practicing Buddhism


10:44 Previous setback turns into a great breakthrough


16:55 Struggling with impostor syndrome


25:48 Importance of never giving up, even if you’re not sure where you’re headed


32:13 Seeing long-term growth despite daily ups and downs


35:43 Each experience has deep meaning
