Interview with Cody Simpson

“For me, a good life is feelinga sense of accomplishment every day.“

From a Swimmer to a Singer and Back

When I finally decided to take on the challenge of pursuing one of the most difficult and demanding sports to train for,
I was very aware of the sacrifice and dedication it would take to make it back to swimming. But I had been feeling the fire
and desire to return to it for a while. I want to live with no regrets, so I thought I would at least give it my all and see where I land.

Overcoming Challenges:When you keep the “why” in mind,you can endure almost any “how.”

The Good Life: How I relate

LG is all about pushing boundaries with a positive and optimistic
attitude. I believe that’s the key to success in any endeavor.
I always try to approach life with this attitude, so I was very
excited to work with LG, a brand that shares values similar to
those I hold dearly.

The better life: How I use LG

I particularly love the LG StanbyME, because I can move it around
and use it wherever I want, for whatever I need. LG’s products help
me to be better at not only work, but also with life.

“A Brave Optimist— this phrase resonates with me.”

What if it doesn’t work out?

I'm not going to lie, it's not going to be easy. Challenges often involve more work and pain than we think.
However, its the obstacles that help us grow. Every setback you encounter is going to help you develop
a stronger mental grit for your next challenge. Keep one eye on the end goal and one eye on the work.

Life's Good when

I’m watching the sunset or the sunrise. I play the guitar or write a new song.
I finish a hard swimming session, and when I’m feeling that sense of accomplishment.
I love what I do, and I’m lucky to do what I love.

What is your ultimate "Good Life"?

The best type of life is one based on helping others and lifting others up.
Inspiring others to be their best selves. You'll be making every day better
for yourself, your family, and your friends.

 

Take a leap of faith

It is okay to change your path, try something new, and take on a challenge different from what people might expect of you.
It’s all up to you. Many people doubted I could make it successfully in swimming again,
but I believed in myself enough to push through and ignore the naysayers. Nothing is guaranteed in life,
and the only things you can control are your focus, effort, and enthusiasm. Embrace challenges and rise to the occasion.

It’s okay to start small

The worst mistake is to do nothing. If you start small and gradually work upwards,
consistency will build towards a compound effect — before you know it, you would’ve made progress!
