In the search for our best and happiest lives it can seem odd to focus on the power of disappointment. We live in a world that doesnt look favourably on failure and moments of retrograde. For obvious reasons we seek out success and triumph instead of lessons in failing. However sometimes our times of greatest growth occur when we fail. Those low periods in our lives that teach us our true resilience and strength and allow us to fully come into our own.

The greatest feeling of inner confidence comes from the knowledge that we have overthrown some challenge or moment hardship. In those chapters of our life where we may feel like the universe is conspiring against us, it may in fact be granting us our greatest gift. We are in reality experiencing a moment of profound growth, something that will help to shape our future and spur us on to an even more wonderful life.

When you are faced with hardship, instead of viewing it as a negative, take some time to settle into it. Ask “What are you teaching me?”, and “How will this shape who I am?”

You have the opportunity to use your potential pain and fear to fuel your life. Instead of living in a state of lack or loss, look at it as a chance to develop your tool kit and prove to yourself what you are capable of.

In every way you are strong, capable and completely magnificent.

Much Love,
