Art Costello | Living in Faith with Purpose, Learning from Life, & The Art of Expectations

“Once you’re open to the possibility of everything, everything becomes possible.”
– Art Costello

EPISODE OVERVIEW:
Expectation Therapy? The Art of Expectation? What does that mean? Well, today you’re not only going to hear our guests Remarkable story, but learn what expectation therapy is.

Today’s guest was a young man who lived a great and comfortable life until one day his parents suddenly picked up and moved to Northern New York where he felt isolated and alone. You’re going to hear all about his transition to upstate NY, how he joined the United States Marine Corps to escape, helped support an orphanage in Vietnam, and how his whole life changed again after he watched his wife struggled and die from cancer.

In this episode we’ll learn how to properly look at, and set our expectations so we don’t struggle with a bunch of depression, anger, and other oppressive emotions. He’s going to take us through the journey of his life, while dropping golden life nuggets all along the way. Remember though, the core of the episode is just like the title says. It’s about expectations, faith, living with purpose, and how all of us can be remarkable. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Art Costello story!
