Episode 6-410 - Growing Pains

"Tough Times Don't Last, but tough people do." - Dr. Robert Schuller

It's natural to want to avoid tough situations, and to help others do the same. But the reality is that tough situations will come, and our ability to learn how to manage though challenging circumstances will make us stronger and will tap into our creativity and problem solving skills. This is true in all aspects of our lives.

While not all of us may wish to seek out chaos to manage, seeking out challenges to grow can be a positive thing. Just like a person might go to the gym to do challenging exercises or repetitions of muscle movements to increase their strength and agility, we can take a similar approach to building interpersonal and professional skills that support our definition of success and emotional well-being.

So, look for the growth opportunities in challenging situations. Remember the pain of growth will pass, however, the benefit of growth will endure.

Recognizing opportunities for growth is another key to living a fulfilled life.

Episode 6-409: Assumptions

If you are going to assume, it’s a good idea to seek some clarity.  When we assume without verifying, we can get it wrong.

Avoid assuming – Ask questions,  Be aware of how your experience influences your interpretation of events and actions.

Peace and happiness are internal, they come from the inside if they are to be abiding. We can have abiding joy and gratitude even when things are tough. Understanding this truth, and reminding ourselves of this daily, can help us to tap into our abiding joy and hopefulness.

Episode 6-404 Self-Definition

What we think about ourselves, what we say about ourselves matters.  It impacts our behaviors, and it exudes from us and impacts our interaction with others. 

When people think positively about themselves and what they have to offer, they are more likely to gain the support of others. 

Next time you get ready to make a self-deprecating comment, or you speak negatively to yourself think about the impact that can have on you and those around you.  Think about the confidence and power that can come from self-definition and tap into being self defined, to being seen the way you want to be seen.

Episode 6-403 Fresh Starts Pair Well With New Skill Sets

Fresh starts is are great opportunities to share new skills and to grow.

Awareness is key to gaining new skills sets.  If we don’t understand what went wrong, we are doomed to perpetuate prior circumstances. Likewise if we don’t understand what the keys to our success might be, it will be hard to reproduce that success.

Episode 6-402: Create a Retreat Within Yourself

You can go within anytime. take time to create your inner sanctuary, your inner place of peace and abiding joy.   Focus on gratitude, focus on what you do have, allow yourself to create an imagined ideal surrounding and let your mind enjoy that place in time.

Remember that every situation has at least two handles, you can see what you have or what you do not. Focus on your pat, current, and/or anticipated blessings. Remember the importance of what you choose to allow your mind to dwell upon. We must understand that is is "things" that upset us, but what we choose to think and focus upon things.

Take intentional time to nurture your peace within.
