Why to Embrace Your Challenges as Growth Opportunities

Trauma, hardships, loss, disappointment, sorrow is no doubt preferable to avoid. But suffering is part of the human condition. Resisting it takes energy. So are there benefits to accepting and moving through uncomfortable and challenging experiences?

Yes! 

Challenging experiences drive us to ask questions about our priorities and values providing us opportunities to learn and grow beyond our current state. Much of what is learned provides answers that inspire profound and lasting personal growth.

Qualities of love, self-compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and appreciation have the freedom to surface and express more in our lives.

With that said, what challenges are you currently facing in your life? What hidden gems of learning, growth, or healing is available to you? Dig deep and find the courage within yourself to see what is there for you. As you move through the process, practice self-compassion and know you are doing your best. 

While the situation may feel challenging at this moment, there may come a time when you can reflect on this very circumstance and feel gratitude for its gifts.
