Daily Question, November 9

What challenging situations have brought out the best in me?

  • Lioness

    I can think of many but one that I think I ma most proud of is my move 4 years ago to another part of the country. I was 100% not certain about the choice but it was the best thing for me and my husband and I am now part of a truly amazing community.

    There have been a few times where, at a crossroads, I have had to choose between two paths. More often than not I chose the path that was true to my soul. And even in the cases where I did not, fairly quickly I realized my error and made corrections. I do not remember ‘the’ time I learned that being true to my soul was critical, but it was for sure early childhood. And when I am true to my soul, I am at my best.

    Within ministry and social work settings, helping people cope with trauma, sudden death, and loss. It’s an area of work that one would never think to excel at, but fortunately or unfortunately, however one looks at it, you cannot know until you’re thrust in the middle of it.

    The pandemic has brought out great courage and strength, patience and forgiveness….gifts I never realized that I so strongly possessed.

  • Michele

    Going through an unexpected breakup has been very challenging, painful and emotionally tolling. I found this gratefulness website and it has helped me so much. Covid has been challenging for everyone. We need to trust the scientists, follow the CDC guidelines and NOT make it political. Period. Love, kindness, forgiveness, and patience has brought out the best in me.

      My thought and prayer for you, Michele, is that your heart will mend one day soon from your breakup, and leave you stronger, over time, in every way.

    Ending my 1st marriage. Getting fired a few months later because I wasn’t part of the cult my former bosses were part of. Having to do the right thing for myself and resign from my 10-year position as director of a non-profit event. Interviewing for a higher position in my company and not getting it (I interviewed for the same position a year later and have had it for 6 months now 🙂 ).

    All quite challenging. And all helped me find a better part of myself I wasn’t conscious of. The growth I experienced from each of those situations is exactly what I needed during those times of my life. And they all have helped me progress on my path of light.
