What Dogs Teach Us #61: Adversity *can* strengthen us. We dont grow when were not challenged. If we always got what we wanted, when we wanted and as often as we wanted; if everything came easy, we wouldnt learn how to navigate difficult scenarios. Assess and adapt. Resiliency. Self-awareness. How to re-collect, re-ground and find balance in the midst of turbulence. Self-discipline. Humility. Perseverance. Sincere gratitude and appreciation... and we wouldnt realize how strong we already are. Bones and muscles build and strengthen under pressure, and weaken when not put to use; and so do we, emotionally. Mentally. Pressure tests what were made of... then adds to it. Things we take for granted on a daily basis~ such as arms and legs. Those whom have suffered. Been neglected. Ignored. Abused. Forgotten. Been through the darkness, then come out the other side stronger, happier, more peaceful, resilient, and more themselves than ever before. There may be scars, but ~ after all ~ arent scars just reminders we were stronger than whatever tried to break or hurt us? Choose to grow through challenge. It is a choice, and its there to help us do just that : )
