About this listen
In this eye‑opening episode of The Momentum Shift, C. Eric Collier "The Mayor of Motivation," challenges everything you think you know about setbacks. Instead of seeing obstacles as punishment or bad luck, Eric invites listeners to explore a deeper truth: sometimes the very thing you’re resisting is the thing that’s positioning you for your next level.
Drawing from the timeless story of the farmer who responds to every twist of fate with a simple “maybe”, Eric shows how quickly we attach labels to our experiences and how those labels trap us in fear, frustration, and false conclusions. As he shares, “when we put an attachment like we do on things that happen to us and we label it good or bad, we tend to stay in that mindset.”
This episode reframes adversity as a strategic turning point. Eric breaks down:
> Why setbacks often arrive when something in your life needs to shift
> How emotional attachment blinds you to opportunity
> The danger of assuming you know what an event means
> How to detach from the story you’re telling yourself
> Why your current challenge may be the setup you’ve been praying for
> How to step into uncertainty with courage, clarity, and momentum
Eric’s message is clear: life is always moving, always shaping, always preparing you but only if you stop clinging to the old limb and allow yourself to fly. As he puts it, “Setbacks come when something needs to change.”
This episode is a masterclass in perspective. If you’re ready to stop labeling your life and start learning from it, this conversation will shift your mindset in a profound way.
