Life is a Learning Journey

Emotional resilience seems to be the 'topic of the month'.

I believe that life is a learning journey through which we all experience purposeful ups and downs. The trick is recognizing how each of the events and situations that challenge us could equally serve us, depending on our thinking and actions. Think back to a time in your life that was an issue for you. What valuable skills, knowledge and internal resources did that experience give you? I bet you wouldn't be the person you are today if that event hadn't happened.

So when the next 'challenge' comes along, instead of worrying about it or going into an emotional tailspin, what would happen if you were to welcome it, feel grateful for it and begin to wonder how it can best help you learn and grow? Interesting....
