Learning from our setbacks!
Happy Wisdom Wednesday!
There are usually always a few bumps in the road before we end up somewhere desirable. After all, rocky roads often lead to beautiful destinations!
Think about a time in your life where you experienced a setback. When something unexpected occurred and made you rethink your plans. How did it help you? How did it support your personal growth?
We should encourage ourselves to view setbacks positively; they are opportunities for us to grow and develop. Let's take some time to reflect on how our past challenges have shaped who we are today!

Over the years quite some events happened but also over the past years I become who I am today. All those passed events shaped me to the person I am today. All my experiences add to my knowlegde and that all I will use to move forward in life. When I think on how it made me grow, I think it learned me what I do find important and what i dont. but they also have impact on how I act and treat people and I think that bc of my past it shaped me into me who I am today

every cut, every bruise, every person who hurt me made me me. I wouldn't be who I am here today if I didn't go through what I went through.

A really interesting piece fo advice someone gave me once was to think of life as working in balances. Whatever I wanted, I would be charged for similarly. For example, if i said i had dreams and aspirations of being rich and being a company owner, i would be tested consistently in several positions measuring my responsibility, leadership, budgeting, financial decisions, etc. The bigger my dreams become, the more i would be tested in return :)
In thinking of the challenges i have faced thus far in my life, I know 100% that they have shaped me into the individual I am today

one of my biggest challenges I'd say had always been attachment haha. I get attached quite easily. So it has shaped my ability to easily get close with people and honestly be vulnerable with them. That is not necessarily a bad in all situations, but I am working on it so I don't end up in dangerous or hurtful situations
❤️ My setbacks have made me wiser, more attentive and more prepared for what's next. Even if they caused damage, they've also helped me to evolve ❤️
