Embrace the Journey! Monthly Motivation includes printable
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
– Helen Keller
As much as we might sometimes wish otherwise, life is a package deal. Our experience will come with the sweet and the sour, the pain and the hurt, along with the love and everything magical that gives us joy. Life is often described as a journey, and if we look at it that way we see that although our journey will have stretches of clear highways, there will also be intersections, tunnels, uphill climbs, and terrible weather conditions. It’s all part of the adventure. So for this month’s motivation, let’s look at a few ways we can embrace the journey and benefit from the trials that will inevitably come our way.
Shift your perspective
Although it can be hard to realize in the moment, our hardships can serve as blessings in disguise. Try looking at your problem as a challenge and an opportunity for growth. Find solutions, and work through the situation. Once you’ve overcome the challenge you may have a few battle scars, but you’ll also have first-hand knowledge and the experience to deal with adversity.
Shift your attitude
The next step is to shift your attitude to gratitude. Even in the worst of times, there is something to be grateful for. Find the good things in your life and focus on them. Practice duality by understanding that you don’t need to overlook the negatives in order to be joyful.
Shift your focus
Despite our best efforts, sometimes things will just go wrong. The situation won’t turn out as we want, or bad things happen. So much takes place that is outside our control, and sometimes the only win is to focus on how we react. Do your best to understand your part in the situation, and if it means redefining and recalculating, then do it. And if you have done all that you can, stop holding on to the problem. Shift your focus and move on.
Embrace the journey
Disappointment often leaves us paralyzed in the moment, wondering where we miscalculated. But honestly, it happens to us all. Don’t let misfortune minimize your joy. Setbacks are an unavoidable part of life, and embracing the journey’s twists and turns is what makes life worth living. And, of course, I’ve created a pretty new printable that reminds you to appreciate and embrace the journey!
