Here’s how to turn challenges into opportunities so you welcome failure
I love my life.
I love my life for all the beautiful things.
The things that come easily and effortlessly.
The things that are nourishing.
The things that make me smile.
But I love it more for the things that are hard.
It is in the obstacles; the pain and the struggles where the most significant opportunities lie.
My past troubles and my current challenges show me the sharp edges — the edges that cut openings into new beginnings.
Only by living in the depths of darkness can we enjoy the warmth of cascading light.
For a long time, I hated myself for my shyness, and I punished myself in my anxiety. I put pressure on myself for being a way I didn’t like.
I expected myself, life and others to give me more — and when I didn’t get it, it felt like a betrayal.
Years of fear and disappointment, and what for?
It wasn’t until I let go of seeing things through only one lens that I could glimpse a new pasture.
Immense freedom just by deciding to leave this dreary cave.
