Difficulty is growth

Overheard today:

“Life’s been hard recently. I must be growing, then.”

That’s such a beautiful way to reframe hard times.

The growth mindset is such a powerful lens upon which to see the world, life and everything else in between. When everything is for growth and every growth opportunity a win, you can never lose. Failures are lessons in disguise. Missteps are detours towards success. Struggle is a chance to build skill.

Transmute the difficulty—every difficulty—and nothing shall bring you down again, ever.

The garden was dry and browned, but your blood, sweat and tears have returned as rain. It rained so much that all the flowers came back.
