Digesting Life

When challenging situations arise in life, here are four powerful questions you can ask yourself which will help to frame the situation and give hope, inspiration and growth:

• Is it personal? – Was it really about me?

• Is it permanent? – Will it pass?

• Is it pervasive? – Does it affect my whole life or just a part of it?

• Is it potentially positive? – Can it offer me some unique opportunity to develop?

Think of a time when you experienced a set back and a door closed on you. What doors subsequently opened? What can you do to notice new doors opening?
