Today’s Monday Mindset: The Words We all Need to Hear.
Welcome to your Monday Mindset, where you discover how to be your best so you can give your best.
Sometime back, I was going through a challenging situation and my thoughts were getting the better of me. And in the midst of my disappointment and frustration and discouragement, I had a conversation with one of my aunt.
And she said to me, as I explained my situation and the pain and suffering I was feeling, she said, “Mano, what a beautiful gift this is.” And I was taken aback.
I said to her, “What do you mean what a beautiful gift?” I was just pouring out my soul and my suffering, and she called it a beautiful gift.
She said, “It’s a beautiful gift – everything you’re going to learn and grow from due to this experience.”
She encouraged me to write down all the ways in which it was a beautiful gift in my life. And when I did so, it gave me a whole new perspective on the pain and adversity I was going through.
In doing so, it changed the way I felt.
Here’s my challenge for you today. If you want to live in a beautiful state, you have to be able to find in every adversity, you have to find in every challenge, setback, or failure, in every form of pain you experience, you have to find the beautiful gift in it.
And when you find the beautiful gift in it, it’ll free you to live in a beautiful state.
So whatever you may be going through today, my challenge to you is how is this a beautiful gift to you right now today?
