Today, I’d like to talk to you about the third “sweet” benefit I see in having struggles:
the opportunity to GET SUPPORT!
When I think about struggles, they all pave the way for us to be able to get support.
When you think about this, we do this in ALL areas of life.
If there’s a problem with our car, we bring the car in to the autoshop.
If there’s an issue with our home, we may turn to a contractor or handyman for help.
If there’s an issue with our finances, we may turn to an advisor or planner.
If it’s a physical struggle, we may turn to a healthcare provider.
…And what about our spirit and mind?
If it’s a mental struggle, we may turn to a mental health professional.
If it’s a spiritual struggle, we may turn to a person we respect spiritually.
Today, I was chatting with a respected colleague at work and she shared how ever since she lost her loved one earlier this year, she has really been struggling emotionally.
As I chatted with her, I discovered that she has been working with a therapist.
I had no idea! But I deeply respect her decision to do so.
What are just some of the benefits of getting support?
1. We learn something new!
2. We make new connections!
3. We get healthier or more ordered in some way!
4. We feel better and experience better life results!
So, do you seek support when you are struggling?
If so, what have some of the benefits been?
Let’s see the SWEET SIDES of struggles so we can THRIVE in life!
