Podcast Summary
Embrace challenges with 'try me' instead of 'why me': Choose to face challenges with a positive attitude and take responsibility for personal growth instead of dwelling on the struggles.
Instead of focusing on our struggles and asking "why me," we should embrace the challenge and respond with "try me." Our experiences in life are shaped by our perspective, and we have the power to choose whether to be a victim or take responsibility for our own growth. The speaker shares her personal experience of struggling with dyslexia and overcoming it to write a New York Times best-selling book. By leaning into her struggle and choosing to try, she was able to turn her weakness into a strength and make a significant impact. So, the next time you face a challenge, consider saying "try me" instead of "why me."
Embrace challenges with a 'try me' mindset: Shift perspective from 'why me' to 'try me' to approach challenges with determination and resilience, empowering growth and self-improvement
Instead of focusing on why we are facing challenges or struggles, we should embrace them and respond with a mindset of "try me." Swiss philosopher Henry Frederick Amiel encourages us to take responsibility for our talents and unique gifts, and to lean into our struggles as opportunities for growth. By shifting our perspective from "why me" to "try me," we can approach challenges with determination and resilience, rather than feeling defeated or overwhelmed. This approach empowers us to build the skills and knowledge we need to overcome obstacles and own our situations, rather than being owned by them. So the next time you encounter a challenge, remember to say "try me" and embrace the opportunity for growth and self-improvement.
