What is going on, guys?

Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness podcast.

I hope that you were having a great day thus far.

Listen, in today's podcast, we're going to talk about how to handle setbacks, how to handle challenges, how to handle obstacles that come up

Most people try to go through their life

and you try to have bad things not happen to you. This is bad for a couple of reasons. Number one,

of things happen, it turns into this big deal because you're trying so hard not to have

bad things happen. And then number two, just again, from a realistic standpoint, do you really

think you're going to go through life just like scotch-free like nothing bad is ever going to happen

to you and there's going to be no challenges that come up along the way it's it's not realistic so

as opposed to trying to avoid the bad things happening or avoid the setbacks happening how about
