Last night I had the privilege of meeting with and coaching the Jumpstart participants at Puravida, and can I just say WOW? What an inspiring group! They are in the 6th week of their 8-week program, and motivation is still high as they achieve their goals, even though many hit a few bumps along the way. Congratulations for staying the course!
Adversity is a funny thing. Why do some people seem to sail through it and others get stuck in it, only to once again be derailed from meeting their goals? This was a big part of our discussion last night and we decided that we could learn a lot from children when it comes to challenges.
How kids tend to deal with obstacles:
They SHOW UP!!
They don’t question and over think everything
They don’t beat themselves up
They don’t think the grass is always greener
They don’t dwell on poor me, or become a victim
They are in the moment…in the flow…engaged in living
They keep keepin on
They are eternal optimists by nature
They smile, laugh and make new friends
Kids, do what comes naturally to their souls they know how to just “BE.”
So when did it get so complicated for the rest of us?
Life is continually trying to knock us off the course of bliss, fulfillment, and contentment. But what if we don’t let it?
Where can you adopt some childlike mind-sets when it comes to adversity in your life? Get curious, like a 5 year old; be in the moment and just show up!!
"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." Thomas Paine
