I’m reading The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday right now.

If you haven’t read it… it’s all about how the challenges in our lives are actually the fuel we need to turn adversity into success.

Looking back, it’s easy to connect the dots.   It’s things like…

… getting fired from a job turns out to be the best thing ever because it launched your business.

… having a marketing campaign fail helped you find the one that worked.

… breaking your leg and being unable to swim that one summer allowed you to discover your love for writing short stories.

But YOU KNOW WHAT? When things suck, it’s super hard to feel like it’s a blessing.

In the book, Ryan says that humans can be really good at turning  “SHIT into SUGAR.”  I just love that. 🤣

I love hearing stories of people figuring out how struggles lead to the big breakthroughs in their life because it gives me HOPE that my own struggles will turn out as triumphs as well.  

On some level, I know they will, but there’s always that doubt.

Can you relate to that too?

What challenge do you have right now that you want to turn into a triumph?

Have you had difficulty finding the “up” side to the current situation you are in?  If so, I’d like to invite you to apply for a call with our Director of Coaching.
