As the saying goes, “Life is not for the faint of heart.” We may worry about this or that, predict obstacles and roadblocks, and ruminate about the next challenge, but most of the time none of that stuff happens. Life has other plans for us, and we may not see any of them coming!
But after you’ve been knocked down a few too many times, you toughen up. Yes, you get stronger from the unpredictable struggles you face, and sometimes your internal power can grow to become as mighty as a lion’s roar.
This episode explores the good feelings that can come from being proactive, digging deep, and finding the courage to express your personal power. Let’s find out how it feels to let out a “lion’s roar.”
Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.
