Takeaways:

1- Sometimes we go through periods of trial, stress, or major setbacks in life.   

2- Encountering setbacks doesn’t mean that we aren’t on the right path or should give up—these moments often lead to major growth and give us the skills to flourish down the line.

3- Sometimes, the best way to deal with challenges is to acknowledge that what we are doing is hard and to give ourselves permission to just endure.

Mantra: I can do hard things.
