Mantra Monday: Growth Opportunities

A mantra is a statement repeated over and over, often used to allow greater concentration in meditation. I offer different mantras every Monday and encourage you to find the mantra that speaks to you in the moment. 

Challenges are just that, challenging. Everybody has them, nobody really loves them. I am facing a whopper right now and reframing the challenge as a growth opportunity makes the whole thing just a smidge easier. It doesn't make the situation go away or even better but it does help with perspective. Challenges are growth opportunities. You have the choice with every challenge to shrink or shine. I choose to grow and shine, not out of disillusion, but out of sheer determination. I'm determined to make the most out of what I have been given and to be a shining example to my daughter. I want her know that she can do hard things and come out stronger. 

May the challenges you face today be an opportunity to discover something new about yourself and a chance to grow. Shine on, mama.
