We’re keeping EVERYTHING crossed!
Grace Marshall, author of Struggle, invites us to think about the hard times differently in WellDoing Magazine.
How To Change How You Think About the Hard Times
How we respond to life’s challenges makes all the difference We have coaches available to support you – find yours here “It shouldn’t be like this. It shouldn’t be this hard. I shouldn’t be struggling.” Sometimes our biggest struggle with struggle is the fact that we’re struggling. Why is this so hard?
‘It’s where we step outside of the familiar, into new territory, or go beyond our comfort zone and into the stretch zone. Where there are no guarantees, and ‘success’ is uncertain and far into the horizon.’
Grace Marshall, author of Struggle, talks to Forbes about a new way of thinking about struggle.
