I was reminded this week of how grateful I am for the job and role I have created for myself with my current employer. Autonomy, respect, and impact are things I have now *because* I shed a lot of tears along the way.
Suffering is a requirement. We have the option to experience our pain as crippling barriers to growth or opportunities to learn from our experiences and determine how we respond in the future.
Choosing optimism and gratitude, in my experience, have opened opportunities for joy and connection that I would never have dreamed of otherwise
I am so glad you have found ways to turn lemons into lemonade! I don't agree that suffering is always a requirement, but sometimes it is unavoidable. If we can turn it on its head, all the better, which it sounds like is what you've done. Thanks for sharing your story!
