You have a choice of how you react- defensively or at ‘effect’ of those challenges, or you can STEP UP and embrace the growth that comes with each wonderful challenge. Growth that otherwise wouldn’t be there!
Being at ‘Effect’ means it’s someone else’s fault… ‘if only they would, I would be ok if so and so did this or that’ …
Take back the drivers seat in your own life. Own the challenge. Recognise you are at cause of everything in your life and that simple thought means you can step back, observe objectively and pick up the learnings.
In fact, when challenges come along face them and thank them.
Thank them for the new skills you have to acquire to deal with it.
