In times that I feel challenged, it brings me an immense amount of comfort just trusting that whatever I am facing, is an important part of my journey. Trusting that it is in this challenge, that I will learn an important lesson, which will elevate me and help me progress towards becoming the best version of myself.
I appreciate that in certain situations it might not feel possible to even consider what good might arise from it. But I hope that this post brings some comfort, and perhaps offers you the opportunity to see that it really is in our darkest moments, where we learn our most important and valuable lessons.
I encourage you to think of two experiences in life which felt incredibly challenging at the time. It could be anything from forgetting your lines in a school play, to suffering an illness, losing a job or grieving a loss.
Now for both of those examples, I encourage you to think of three good things that came from those experiences…
They may be important life lessons, it may be realising how amazing your family, friends and support network are, it may be learning the importance of kindness and compassion. Perhaps it leads you to an even better job, or finding an alternative career which brings you more fulfilment. It might be an increased appreciation for life and living in the present moment.
Notice that even in your darkest moments, you are able to find good. There are important learnings to be had. And you can see that these things have shaped you into the person you have become, and have armed you with valuable life lessons which will continue to help you evolve into your best self.
In these times where you feel challenged, remind yourself that just like every other time you found yourself stuck in a pit, you got yourself out. You learned something, you grew. Whatever it is, your pain will be temporary, you will be OK and you will one day see that this needed to happen in order to teach you some of the most important lessons in your life.
