What do you do to get through challenging times in your life? When I was younger, I would often try to change the way I felt. For example, I would either act out, go to the gym and work out extra hard or turn to alcohol. Responding this way is often self-destructive, only results in short term relief and doesn't actually solve the problem at hand. Today, when I encounter challenges, I simply let them be. I don't change everything else in my life and I don't try and change how I feel. Embracing the pain of a challenging situation can be difficult, but I know that if I continue to work hard, be the best person I can be and help others, I will ultimately be rewarded. I pray that I can be a good person of service who accepts that I sometimes I won't feel good and that's okay. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this and I am thankful for the time you spend with me, and as always I appreciate your feedback! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support
