There were so many insights packed into this one post and then they beautifully merged together.
I especially loved the shift "Why me" to "Why not me" to normalise that this a challenge anyone could face and it doesn't have to mean anything about you. I have seen so many of my clients stuck with that and I got another angle to approach it in a more grntle manner ofcourse, from this post.
And it's magical how I just wrote a post asking my readers to question themselves "Is the cause of my suffering: the situation itself or my interpretation of it" and then I saw this wonderful post on my feed.
Beautifully put, especially with the use of such clear examples and the easy-to-grasp analogy, as well as the checklist for applying it immediately. Even when we are aware of this intellectually, we get so lost in our narratives that we forget the unhelpful tapestry we've woven. Thank you. A timely reminder for me.
I’ve gone through all of this, and I can say that pain carries its own wisdom. In my case, it also brought maturity and showed me how strong I really am, how much I can bear. There was a lot to learn from it. A painful experience, yes, but an educative one.
Powerful reminder that the breaking point isn’t the hardship — it’s the story we layer on top of it. ‘Of course this is hard’ pulls you back into truth instead of catastrophe
As they say in Buddhism, it's the second dart. It's not the mistake that's soul crushing. It's the "I can't believe I did that" part that creates the globalizing catastrophic natural human response. Yeah, life's hard. I so often just make it harder by that second dart.
This is exceptional.
It’s come when I needed to. Love that. Thanks

You really really get it. Well said.

Absolute Banger for a Monday Morning
Something that I love to do is remind myself that, “it will make a good story”.
Just how a superhero is only as good as its villains.
Hardship creates good memories because it defined what is good, and in turn, creating a good story.
I needed to read this 🙏
We all do.
Love this!
It’s a good one. I agree.
I’ve been sharing it with my clients since reading it. Definitely worth a reread too.
