Stay Strong

Resilient – able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.  Strong and tough.  Does that sound like you?

Life happens and then it keeps happening.  It doesn’t stop or slow down.  In fact sometimes it just punches you in the face.  The sooner you come to accept that and even embrace it the better you will be.

Your mindset is the key. 

Do you have a fixed mindset that sees life as a test that you either pass or fail? Black and white?

Or…

Do you have a growth mindset where you believe everything happens to you for a reason, is in your best interest and is an opportunity?

I spent too many years with a fixed mindset. It has been a process for me to develop more of a growth mindset the past few years but I have found more resilience and strength since I made a commitment to being more growth minded.

I’m still working on it daily.  I have to make the choice day by day, moment by moment to see what is happening to me and around me through a growth mindset lens.

It won’t happen automatically or overnight but I believe that if you will make the commitment to having a growth mindset you will be able to handle life and the moments that come at you with more resilience and strength as well.

A growth mindset will not only help you but it will help the people that you interact with, lead and love every day. 

Keep getting stronger.

I’m cheering for you.
