Ep. 9 How To Shift Your Struggle Into Your Greatest Strength

  The most natural thing in the world is to believe that your obstacles are what hold you back from accomplishing your goals and creating what you desire. But is that really true? Ancient philosophy of stoicism teaches us that your struggles are actually the key to your destiny - that your obstacles are actually opportunities waiting in disguise. In this episode, Heather shares  some raw and real stories from her childhood her family's past to help you turn your trials into triumph by realizing that what you believe to be your struggles are really your greatest strengths waiting to be born. From the Show… “Life sometimes does ask things of us that we are not ready for. This does not mean we aren't able to handle it. It means we rise to the occasion and in doing so embrace our destiny.” “Adversity is character building. You find out who you are when you are faced with what feels like insurmountable odds. And often what you find in those times is that you are capable of far more than you believe ourselves to be.” “Despite feeling unprepared, you are ready.  The obstacle in front of you right now is a blessing, not a curse.  If you get out of the narrative that you and that you can’t overcome it, you actually find the inner and outer resources you need to not only survive it but thrive in it.” “So what are your “jumpers?”  As you look back at your life, what are the things life asked you to do too soon into early? In what ways were you asked to grow up before you felt you were ready? I encourage you now to see these moments as gifts, not trauma experiences. You are not a victim of the circumstances, you are a Victor” “Embrace your “jumpers.” See them as an opportunity to contribute to the world in a meaningful way. Understand that it was asked of you to begin with because the universe knew you were strong enough to handle it.” “Take this knowledge with you and to your present, knowing that whatever adversity you feel right now is your warm up into a greater future.” Links Mentioned www.heatheraliceshea.com
