Chiseled Ep 78 Overcoming Self-Sabotage - Craig Moody Chiseled with Rob Commodari
-
- 自我提升
At a tender age, Craig Moody moved with his
family to a new town. His educator mother and a businessman father wanted the best for their son, but while going to stay with family friends during the
transition, Craig felt unwelcome and unliked. Later, at school, he was bullied and had trouble making friends despite his best efforts.
Flash forward two decades and Craig was still
feeling uprooted. With no job prospects and trouble making fraternal and romantic relationships, a nasty look from a clerk in a grocery store pushed Craig to the brink.
"I went home that night and just thought
about that stare I got and was like 'I'm done,'" he said.
And he nearly did himself in save for the beseeching voice of his father. As it turned out, however, Craig's dad was
nowhere near the house.
"It was God's voice," Craig said with certainty. "It was a defining moment in my life."
From there, Craig decided to turn his life around.
He joined a local church, connected with an old friend who never gave up on him, and jumped into personal growth, studying the works of John Maxwell and
others. It wasn't long before Craig was flush — starting his own home restoration business, getting married, and having kids. He later started several other businesses and has gone from despondent "loser" to
successful business coach.
The co-author of the books Think Big and Next Level Your
Life, in which, Craig tells a story about getting out
of your own way and avoiding self-sabotage, lessons that we all need to learn some time in our lives.
"I acknowledge the imposter in me. It creeps up and I don't let him in," he said.
Craig's story may sound familiar to you; it even may sound like your own, and that's okay — because we all can learn from each other's versions of our own stories. I know after sharing my own stories with Craig, we will stay connected in the future.
