The same applies when you don’t accomplish your goals. Often you learn more from not achieving something. The challenges you come up against teach you great problem solving along with resilience.

If you could just make a wish (list a goal) and have it come to fruition, what would you have learned? How would that have prepared you for what’s to come in the future?

You become more courageous when you go after something you really want. Fear seems to take a back seat when there’s something in your life that lights you up! The enthusiasm and energy propels you forward, often making you forget that you need sleep and food. When I see that in someone I get excited and when it happens to me, it’s ecstasy.

It’s those things, the excitement, enthusiasm and energy, that makes you a better person and teaches you so much about life. It’s possible that you may not realize it at the time, but at some point, you’ll understand how much you’ve changed.

Look back and see the events in your life that have produced change in you.
