“The gem cannot be polished without friction.”
-Chinese Proverb
Good Day to all the Gems,
How do you handle adversity?
... Think about that for a moment... take a deep breath... exhale slowly...
What is your first reaction when confronted with an adverse situation?
Be honest with yourself... it's all about learning and growing...
Is your reaction different at work than in social settings?
Should it be? ...Why... explain...
Something to thinking about... Adversity is inevitable. At some point we all face it and if we learn from it and move on we will begin to see just how resilient we are.
Make a Commitment to yourself: I commit to learning from experience when necessary, and to learning from wisdom when possible. I commit to learning from wisdom when doing so can prevent unnecessary pain to me and others. (Gay Hendricks, A Year of Living Consciously)
