Whatever Doesn’t Kill Me

“Dear ‘Whatever Doesn’t Kill Me’…I’m strong enough now, thanks!” - Facebook post

I laughed out loud when I read this post!  Because, truly, doesn’t life feel like this sometimes?  Relentlessly throwing sh*t your direction until you feel as if you can’t take any more?!

But there is something in that old “whatever doesn’t kill me” adage – because every challenge does present an opportunity to learn and grow.  The most important issue, I think, is what we choose to learn and in what direction we choose to grow.  Because most often, we do have a choice.  Do we choose to focus on the negative, or on our own or partner’s failings?  Or do we choose to seek the positive?

I’m a big believer in the second approach.  When we choose to seek the positive, we are more likely to end up with something we like.

 

I will be in London on March 25. Learn more here.
