  Podcasthero.com Welcome to The Daily Quote, the podcast

  designed to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:12
  you by the Great News Podcast. Tired of all the doom and gloom
• 0:17
  news for mainstream media? You'll get none of that there.
• 0:21
  Instead, you'll find inspiring stories and developments making
• 0:25
  the world a better place. Find it in your favorite podcast

  app. But just to make it easy, I've
• 0:31
  left a link in the show notes. Today's quote comes from Haruki
• 0:35
  Murakami, one of the world's most celebrated novelists, whose
• 0:40
  books have been translated into over 50 languages and who has
• 0:43
  spent decades exploring the deepest questions of loss,
• 0:47
  identity, and transformation through his writing.
• 0:52
  From his novel Kafka on the Shore, he wrote, when you come
• 0:58
  out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.
• 1:04
  Wow, pretty profound. That's the quote people know.
• 1:09
  But Miracami didn't stop there. The full passage says something
• 1:13
  even more profound, and I want to read it to you.
• 1:18
  And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it
• 1:22
  through, how you managed to survive.
• 1:26
  You won't even be sure whether the storm is really over.
• 1:30
  But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm,
• 1:33
  you won't be the same person who walked in.
• 1:37
  That's what the storm is all about.
• 1:40
  You won't remember how you made it through.
• 1:43
  You won't even be sure whether the storm is really over.
• 1:48
  That's the honest truth about surviving hard things, and it's
• 1:51
  exactly why this passage resonates so deeply with so many
• 1:55
  people. It doesn't promise you'll feel
• 1:58
  triumphant once over. It doesn't guarantee a clean
• 2:02
  ending or a clear moment of victory.
• 2:05
  It acknowledges that you might come out the other side
• 2:08
  confused, exhausted, and not entirely sure that darkness has
• 2:13
  passed. And yet, one thing is certain.
• 2:17
  You won't be the same. Here's what Mira Kami
• 2:21
  understands that most motivational content misses.
• 2:26
  Transformation isn't always chosen.
• 2:29
  Sometimes the storm arrives without your permission.
• 2:34
  Grief, illness, failure, loss, betrayal.
• 2:39
  You didn't sign up for that. You can't shortcut it.
• 2:44
  You can only move through it. And the moving through, the
• 2:48
  surviving, the enduring, the refusing to be destroyed, that
• 2:55
  changes you in ways that you couldn't have manufactured on
• 2:59
  your own. The storm isn't a detour from
• 3:02
  your growth. It is the growth.
• 3:06
  The person who walks out the other side carries something the
• 3:09
  person who walked in didn't have a depth, a resilience, a knowing
• 3:17
  that can only be earned by going through, not by going around.
• 3:23
  That's what this storm's all about.
• 3:26
  Not punishment, not bad luck, but transformation.
• 3:32
  So here's the question. What storm are you currently in?
• 3:35
  Or what storm have you survived that you haven't yet given
• 3:39
  yourself credit for surviving? Because if you're in it right
• 3:43
  now, keep going. You don't have to see the other
• 3:48
  side yet. You don't have to remember how
• 3:51
  you're making it through. You just have to keep moving.
• 3:55
  And when you come out and you will come out, you won't be the
• 4:00
  same person who walked in. That's what this storm is all
• 4:04
  about. That's going to do it for today.
• 4:08
  I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 4:13
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 4:19
  with another daily quote.
