Embracing Growth, #458

In this episode, we talk about several attitudes we can have toward difficult experiences. Some say “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Maybe that is true but there is a far better way to profit from difficult experiences. The first step is to lean into the experience. Ask “What is the Gift here?” We don’t need to maintain every skill we ever develop. I learned to ski at 45 and pushed myself until I could do difficult runs. I have not kept that up. I’m sure I’d be rusty today. Character skills are essential to maintain. How we choose to show up day-to-day as a beacon of light and vessel of love is something we want to keep polished and ready. Embracing the opportunity for growth in every situation will help.
