What If Your Problem Is the Solution?

I've been doing a lot of reflecting on how we perceive the world around us.

And I actually, I just got back from two-day summit with Kathy Heller, The Divine Download, and it was such a magical two days.

And the one thing I loved about everyone that was on stage is that everyone had adversity.

Everyone had what seemed to be a huge problem standing in front of them, between them and the thing that they were desiring.

And in the end, that leaning into that problem, that...

Not seeing that problem as the end of the road, not feeding into what was right in front of them rather than trusting in their gut, trusting in their knowing, trusting in their faith that things were going to fucking work out.

Getting a little delusional, but in the best way possible.

They were able to move through these seasons of problems and actually they became their best moments ever.

It's kind of like I see this with my kids where there's something they really are struggling with.

And I mean, I see this in myself as well, but I love seeing it in my kids where there's something that I know they can do.

Because everyone is able to, not everyone, but so many people are able to have already moved through this season.

But for them, they're in that place where they're like, I don't know how to, for example, maybe like get it all the way across the monkey bars.

You're like in that season where you've seen other kids go across the monkey bars.

You want to go across the monkey bars.

And you go to do it and you don't have the strength or the coordination or the understanding of your body yet to do it.

But you keep coming back.

You keep holding that desire.

And what feels like a problem one day is your solution, is your biggest win because you find from that you learned your grip strength.

You learn, you understand your coordination.

You learn your muscles.

You learn perseverance.

And then you get through it.

And on the other side, you are so fucking proud of yourself that you did that thing, that you moved through that season that felt like It was impossible at one point.

But now on the other side, just that pride and that feeling of like, holy fuck, I did it.

And it feels so fucking good to be that accomplished and to have moved through it.
