Life has a way of convincing us that whatever we are experiencing right now will last forever. Whether it is overwhelming stress, grief, failure, anxiety, success, or happiness, we often become trapped in the belief that our current circumstances define our future. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman explores the timeless reminder that this too shall pass and why embracing this mindset can dramatically reduce stress while building resilience. Drawing on decades of experience as a former Queensland Police Officer, leadership coach, and resilience specialist, Shaun explains how difficult periods are never permanent unless we choose to stay trapped in them. Every challenge presents an opportunity to develop emotional strength, gain perspective, and build the habits that create a stronger future. The episode also highlights an important truth about success. Just as hardship passes, so do the moments of achievement if we become complacent. Real fulfilment comes from maintaining discipline, continuing to grow, and focusing on consistent daily actions rather than becoming attached to temporary outcomes. Shaun shares practical strategies to help you navigate life’s inevitable highs and lows with greater confidence. By controlling what you can, accepting what you cannot, and refusing to catastrophise temporary setbacks, you create the emotional resilience needed to thrive under pressure. Whether you are leading a team, serving as a first responder, running a business, or simply trying to become a better partner, parent, or friend, this episode is a reminder that every difficult season eventually ends. Your greatest strength comes from remaining patient, taking purposeful action, and trusting that persistence always outlasts temporary pain. No matter what you are facing today, remember that change is inevitable. Keep moving forward, stay focused on the next right step, and allow time to do what it always does. This too shall pass.
