Navigating Life’s Currents
Ups and downs, good and bad. Life is full of bumps in the road, little and big hassles. Challenges show up when we are unprepared and least expect them. All of this is part of life. It is part of our life path. Everything we face is here to push us into our authentic self and live our best life.
There are life’s everyday challenges, traffic or your car breaking down, a deadline at work, someone who is unkind or rude to you, or not feeling well. Then there are the big life altering challenges, losing a job, needing to move, an illness or a death. Any or all of them can disrupt your day and many days to come.
It is how you navigate through life’s challenges that move you forward into all you are and all you are capable of being. Life’s challenges make you stronger, build your capabilities and confidence.
To navigate through the currents of life,
- Accept them denying them doesn’t change the situation
- Stay present
- Respond rather than react
- Be adaptable
- Make meaning of the experience. Ask powerful questions. Look for the life lesson.
- Know you don’t need all the answers
You discover you can survive and can even learn to thrive because of them.
