Today we talk about the gifts of anxiety and depression. You’ll learn how paradigm shifts can help you see adversity as a powerful tool for growth–and you’ll understand just what those tools are. You’ll hear about exemplary people who navigated adversity like Louie Zamperini from Unbroken, Immaculee Illabagiza from Left to Tell, and others.
You’ll be introduced to new concepts like “antifragility” and post traumatic growth and come to understand what they have to do with resilience–and how you can adopt a more resilient mindset in the midst of your own trials. I also include research from the latest thought leaders that will challenge some unhelpful cultural norms that have persisted for decades. You’ll explore your own hardships and how you’ve discovered priceless insights from your experiences that came about because of your experiences.
You’ll discover how to change unhelpful narratives and how to grow in patience, wisdom, and hope–which are just some of many by-products of growth that are shared in this episode. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of adversity and what it can do for you in your life and in the lives of your loved ones.
“I came to learn that God never shows us something we aren't ready to understand. Instead, He lets us see what we need to see, when we need to see it. He'll wait until our eyes and hearts are open to Him, and then when we're ready, He will plant our feet on the path that's best for us...but it's up to us to do the walking.” -Immaculee Ilabagiza
“Through the fiercest fires, the finest steel is forged.” -Unknown
“I don’t want you to be safe ideologically. I don’t want you to be safe emotionally. I want you to be strong. That’s different. I’m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity. I’m not going to take all the weights out of the gym; that’s the whole point of the gym. This is the gym.” -The Coddling of the American Mind
“I knew that my heart and mind would always be tempted to feel anger--to find blame and hate. But I resolved that when the negative feelings came upon me, I wouldn't wait for them to grow or fester. I would always turn immediately to the Source of all true power: I would turn to God and let His love and forgiveness protect and save me.” Later she said, “If I can forgive, anyone can forgive.” -Immaculee Illabagiza
“However dark the night, however dim our hopes, the light will always follow the darkness” -Louis Zamperini
“The great lesson of my life is perseverance. Never give up. It's like my brother said, “Isn't one minute of pain worth a lifetime of glory?” -Louis Zamperini
Remember Louie’s words–”...the light will always follow the darkness.” See adversity as a gift and you’ll always find growth.
