Great, you just pushed yourself to the max in that workout and discovered a physical limitation, or maybe you just received the devastating news that leaves you feeling mentally or emotionally destroyed.
This stuff can feel crushing at the moment, but the more we are exposed to things that come close to breaking us, the more we shed the loose skin.
What is left in us after any big moment or difficult experience in our life (whether we self-impose it, or not) is a core that is more rock solid and less prone to be hurt or damaged in the future.
Next time you feel defeated or crushed, remember that you’re undergoing a process of refinement, and what will be left is something more resilient and tough than you had before.
“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.”
