117. Seeking Opportunity for Growth Instead of Seeing it as Stress

A day full of stress: good or bad? It depends on the light that it is viewed in. I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet.

There was a lot of problems today. There were many situations where I was extremely irritable and annoyed. There were many moments where I would’ve quit in the past. I had a mountain of inconveniences (in the context of the day) that I had to tend to. 

Rather than seeing all this as frustrating and quitting, I swapped my thought process into growth mode and accepted these situations as tests for me to either pass or fail. By gamifying the whole day, I was able to handle each issue with a new goal in mind: grow and develop.

And so I did. And I’m proud of that.
