Sometimes, we have days that are endlessly tough. Odds stacked against, no breaks, one challenging situation after another. Stuck in middle of an ocean with threatening waves. If our only choice is to get through, a hard day is a great teacher. Courage, resilience, creativity develops. We learn to do things differently. We trust our intuition, wisdom to overcome fears. Maybe, a timely little retreat instills passion, positivity.
Solitude, space helps catch our breath, helps re-centre to determine our next moves. With fresh perspectives we find inner strength or resources to improve scenarios. Realise what we saw as hardships were actually great learning opportunities. As our attitude changes for the better, our will, wants & actions turn a new leaf.
Hard days are inevitable, usually times we can grow & transform the most. Our mind & heart assesses each day. One small change in our ideas, approach or perception allows us to greet the day – much wiser & kinder, more generous & compassionate. Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.
