Ron’s journey in becoming the person that he is today took a lot of tons of struggles and difficulties. Since childhood, losing his father at the age of four and going through a lot of experiences in trying to surpass fears and anxiety, he managed to be a successful individual. His life is a manifestation of hard-earned success through the discovery of his unique self. Let us get to learn from his sharing through today’s podcast.
“We are all created with a unique set of skills and experiences and leveraging those is what we are put on earth to do.” – Ron Kitchens
Nobody is born as a copy. We may share some traits and skills with others, but it does not complete a copy of what we are and of what we can do. There will always be hints of differences which makes us unique from the rest. Ron is trying to tell us that if we recognize such uniqueness and use it for a greater cause, it can help us shape the person that we are destined to be. If we find the uniqueness and make it as our own, then we are into something better and far greater.
“You always have to go forward even if you are in an uncertain path.” – Ron Kitchens
As a unique individual, there will always be uncertainties. There will be times that you will begin to question your self-worth and all your abilities. We stop, we fall, we crumble. Later on, we begin to regain our strength and we create ways to move forward. If that is the case, then you are doing something right. Why? It takes a strong-willed individual to be persistent in life to success. For you to realize your uniqueness, you have to keep moving forward despite the life uncertainties.
“We forget the cost of money over time, the cost of joy over time, the cost of success over time.” – Ron Kitchens

But the thing is, Ron kept on emphasizing that the time we spend here on earth should be used wisely in such a way that we get to discover our real uniqueness and our purpose in life. If we just adjust our lenses and see the world as something temporal, then perhaps we could live a far way better lives.
