When we are intentional about trying to learn from these challenges and moments of vulnerability, we can apply what we learn to other situations and periods of life and see success as a result. 

Perspective

However, if you are determined to find the good and opportunities in these hardships, then your approach will be more positive. This means you’ll be able to pivot and adapt easier than someone who pessimistically approaches similar situations. 

Acceptance

Contrary to popular opinion, it is good to embrace your struggles, challenges, and vulnerabilities. These things are not weaknesses. Rather, they are what make you unique and what help you to learn more about yourself and life. 

With the knowledge and insight, you gain you become uniquely equipped to deal with future challenges and develop the resilience needed to continue to experience great growth in your life. Taking steps like those listed above and others like it can help you get to a place where it is easier to embrace these things so that life can be more freeing and enjoyable.
