Finding Growth Through Life’s Disappointments

Life is life. You will deal with life. You will deal with anger. You will deal with failures. You will deal with disappointments. You will deal with success. They will come to you, to us.

It is how you deal with them that will set you apart from the rest of us. Because life is full of ups and downs. Life is full of disappointments, failures.

When you are faced with one, you can do something about it. Do not run away from it. Instead of ignoring what you are going through, ask yourself, ‘What is this trying to teach me? What can I take away from this?’

If you can just sit with it for a while, you will find your own way forward. No matter how tough, do not give in to obstacles. Face them. Because if you do not, you are saying to yourself that your dreams are not worth fighting for, that your future is not worth your time, that you are not worth fighting for, that your loved ones are not fighting for, that your life is not worth fighting for.

I hope that is not what you are thinking. Because if you let disappointment take over your life, it can lead to unhappiness. If you do not face what you are going through in your life, it can lead to frustration.

Yes, it is not easy. But you can do it. You can dance with it. You can dance over it. Or you can dance under it. But do something about it. Because if you do not, you will regret it in the future.

Please, do something about it. You do not have to let what you are going through ruin your future. You do not have to let your frustration with your situation take over your life. Do not do that. Because there is nothing you cannot handle. With God, you can do anything. Do not forget that.

When In Doubt, Ask More Questions

Self-doubt is a roadblock to success. It is not your friend.

When you are in doubt, ask more questions.

Stop doubting yourself. When you doubt yourself, you are not planning to succeed in your life. You are planning to fail, to stay where you are.

Because self-doubt is a roadblock.

Today, start asking the right questions. If something is not working for you, ask yourself, ‘Why is this thing not working? Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing what I am supposed to doing?’

If not, change how you do your work. Change how you see yourself. Don’t ask questions to beat yourself up, but to lift yourself up, to discover what is possible, to water your plants, to nurture your mind.

Don’t question yourself to criticize yourself. Question what you don’t know. Question yourself every day. When you do, you will never stop growing. Because we grow when we ask the right questions.

‘We grow when we ask the right questions.’

As always, you are more, not less!
