Building Strength at the Edge of Our Comfort Zone

Dear Net Buddies & Blazers,

Just “keeping calm and carrying on” in times of great difficulty inevitably pushes us beyond our comfort zone. How we react and what decisions we make in tough times accompany us for the rest of our lives. This is not the time to give up our dreams and compromise your goals. However, the path to achieve them may require twists, turns and delays that we didn’t expect.

Making choices that push us beyond our limits will make us stronger if we keep our eyes on the prize and don’t give in or give up on what we believe we can accomplish.

What daily decisions are challenging you now?

What tough choices do you think you might face to hold on to your long-term dreams of creating a less unpredictable life as an adult?

How can you prepare yourself to make the tough decisions and stand strong through today’s challenges? (Hint: start with controlled breathing for clear thinking)
