Even the brightest of lights casts a shadow. Where there is Yin, there will be Yang. Polarity is a reality of life, an expectation of anything other than that causes predictable suffering.... Learning to embrace & accept with open arms the challenging seasons of life IS the path to our personal greatness, whatever that means to you. "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way, becomes the way" - Marcus Aurelius It is not the avoidance of pain, but the acceptance of it. Acceptance disarms the "yang" of life. In times of darkness, remind yourself of YOUR light. Re-mind yourself of the countless times you've overcome difficult situations. Re-mind yourself of the moments in your life of excruciating suffering that you now reflect on REALIZING that they were life's most precious lessons. Realize now that who you are, your most beautiful traits, were born from fire, from hardship. If anything we should be thanking our obstacles, our challenges, our teachers for helping us find our way. Shine bright. The obstacle is the way. @RyanHoliday #stoic #dailystoic #mindset #perspective #personaltrainer #wellness #fitness #learnmoretoearnmore #growthmindset #lifecoach #nlp #ottawa #health #goals #grit See more

In every interaction; In every moment; In every situation; You are powerful. "Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you" - Jim Carrey... A common saying is "everything happens for a reason"... There is great truth to this, however we suggest that it's up to YOU to choose the reason. Hear us out.. It is up to you to extract from life the lessons that best serve you. It is up to you to choose the meaning behind what happens to you, BECAUSE how you respond to every situation in your life IS OF YOUR CHOOSING! We are adaptive organisms. Through hardship we discover our strengths that otherwise would remain covered. Embrace challenge, knowing that change and discovery (if you but pay attention) are just around the corner. Have faith. Faith in your ability to be resilient, to learn, to pivot. With Love; The ImpactedU team.

What you are looking for is on the other side of fear. Anything that disturbs your current reality, Anything that disrupts that which is normal, for you... will likely instill feelings of fear & nervousness. This is to be expected... How do we pivot aware from Fear and into Action? 1 Awareness. Observing the visceral feelings of fear/nervousness is the first step to regaining control of your body & mind. Observe these feelings in your body, where are they located? Often they are located in the chest and abdomen. Feel them fully and breathe. 2 Pivot Fear, nervousness and excitement feel the same in the body! Learn to re-frame that which is currently crippling you! You can choose to see your experience through a different lens. Ask yourself... Am I truly scared? Or can I choose to be excited about who I am becoming? Can I choose to see this moment with excitement vs being paralyzed by fear? If this is something I truly want, why am I nervous in the first place? What is there to be afraid of? What can I learn from this situation? How will it contribute towards my growth? Do not wish for life to be easier, wish you were better. Develop the skills and take action. Have a great week!

"It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." - William Ernest Henley...
