#buildingcharacter

You’ve probably noticed by now that life isn’t always sunshine, rainbows and fluffy puppies. Sometimes life likes to launch weaponised citrus fruit at our lives, apparently to bring our enjoyment levels down, but that’s not why. When life gives you lemons it’s to test your capacity, to test your tolerance for discomfort and to help build your character. Why must there be discomfort? Because nothing ever grows in a comfort zone and because, to quote Thomas Paine: “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.” So the question today is, can you stay in your higher level — the best and most positive version of yourself — when the trials of life threaten to bog you down? Can you you reframe the prevailing hardship and, rather than become demoralised and self-pitying, rise heroically to the challenge and accept it as merely a test of your capacity, and nothing personal? The thing is, it’s easy to be your best, most positive self when life is plain sailing, but it’s a test of true character to remain your best, most positive self when the waters get choppy. If you fade and succumb to your lowest energies (e.g.: anger, hatred, bitterness and spite) when times get tough, then you will stay in that downward spiral until you grow out of that limiting mindset. So, treat every thwartation* as a test of your capacity and simply vow to prevail; remain your best, most positive self whatever the circumstances. ________________ *No, I know thwartation isn’t really a word, but I laugh in the face of lexicography! #testingyourcapacity #capacity #character #charactertest #buildingcharacter #thomaspainequote #thomaspaine #wisdom #lifecoaching #karanscott #karanscottcoaching #karanscottcoachingblog #karanscottcognitivebehaviouraltherapist #karanscottnlpperformancecoach #nlpcoaching #cbtcoaching #coach #lifecoaching #lifecoachingtips https://www.instagram.com/p/Cku0IR9Du8J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Valorile sunt abstracte, evazive, iar lumea în care trăim ne bombardează mereu cu sugestii ostentative și subliminale cu privire la ce ar trebui să ne dorim, cum ar trebui să trăim și la cum ne formăm ideile despre cine suntem. - Jay Shetty . . . . . . . . . . #justtuesday #behappy #beyou #buildingcharacter #bereal #tuesday #yourmind #wideawake (at Timisoara, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-k9LjlCoG/?igshid=1catoahle0it

Keep discovering yourself as there is no end to the newer you. Every experience makes you a different person with the ticking of the clock and self-realization.
