Finding The Value In Hardship...

“When you fall down, rise up.
When you fall again, rise up again.
This is just a developmental process that makes a healthy baby become
a successful man.”

You CAN Grow Through The Challenges In Life!

Life's encounters are not usually welcomed with an open door. Yet, the truth is that every problem we face presents an opportunity for us to grow through. Certainly, it is easy to overlook the gift within when problems first arrive. That is why it is so important to think about and look for the understanding that is associated with these hardships.

Sometimes we need a little space in order to learn from life's little challenges. It is much easier to work a little change, and transform discomfort into wisdom, once we are on the other side of the problem. Best of all, is that the more you practice looking for the reward within the challenge, the faster you will see it the next time around.

There is an old saying, Eric Butter worth once said, "Don’t go through life, grow through life." It is important to learn to look for the value within each experience to gain the understanding. Then you can use insights to make better choices as you move toward the goal.

• Look at the challenges you've faced in your life and make a list of all of the gifts you received by experiencing them them.
• Then remind yourself of these gifts the next time a hardship brings you down.

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
