My Main Takeaways

1. Adversity can be an opportunity to improve if you're open to it.
   1. Overcoming hardship often requires growth and creativity.
   2. Pushing through hard times can help to become stronger both mentally and physically
2. The concept of Presence and why it's important
   1. Presence helps us recognize our mistakes but allows us to focus on the solution, not the problem.
3. Consistency vs Monotony
   1. Without a presence, consistency can feel like monotony, this can lead to laziness and/or arrogance.
