Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
—Bernice Johnson Reagon
We all have challenges in our lives. Sometimes they are related to work or family issues. Sometimes the challenge comes from trying to help that special child or family member adapt to their own struggles. Sometimes our challenges are with peers, coworkers, or family members.
Did you know that others are watching during these challenging times? They are watching to see how you handle the stress or how you react to the situation. They want to learn how to handle their own struggles better, so they look to you for an example.
We often get consumed mentally and physically during challenging times. We have tunnel vision and cannot focus past the issues. We become stuck in the situation, paralyzed, and unable to move forward.
If we take a step back, take a deep breath, and allow ourselves some time to thoughtfully reflect on our situations, we can learn a lot about ourselves. We can process our situations and visualize options and ways to handle them. We can become the kind of example that is positive and inspiring.
Don't let challenges paralyze you.
