Said Ray Dalio
Embrace the challenges of life. Understand that we all wish at times that we did not have to deal with obstacles, that instead everything could run smoothly. But it is through the obstacles, through the difficult times, that we ourselves grow. Obstacles help us to think differently, to solve problems, to grow as individuals, emotionally, intellectually, physically. Understand what happens to you — good, bad, indifferent — is providing you with skills and tools necessary to conquer your life.
Instead of being apprehensive or fearful of these challenges, embrace them, lean in, and thank them for the opportunity to grow. It is within these moments that we are tested and grow above all else.
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Marcus Aurelius.
