Day 2: Stronger by Choice – Dare To See What Is Broken

If we had a choice, would we choose to spend time thinking about what went right or what went wrong? Would we choose to even see what is broken, things that fell apart, things that went bad, and make you feel as though those bad things made you look weak? Maybe we would or have said at this point, “I will deal with it tomorrow”. If you're tired and exhausted, by all means, create a later time that you can readdress your issue. Don’t try to fix when you are tired; it will only frustrate you even more and possibly do more damage.

When we ignore the negative fears, bad habits, and limiting beliefs, they grow stronger in the dark. Identifying the negative is not about complaining or being hard on yourself. It’s about being real enough to face the things that keep us stuck. In martial arts, we call that self-discipline. In life, it’s called maturity.

Think about your growth. When do you really grow, when everything goes right? When everything goes according to plan, it means that your decision has not been challenged to reveal any weaknesses in your idea or plan. When things break, that’s when you see vulnerable points, breaking points that will cause your plan to fail.

Welcome your failures as though you have reached a privileged point of growth.
