DIY for Your Soul Podcast - Stepping Stones vs. Stumbling Blocks

When you find yourself in a difficult situation, are you one that faces it head on, or do you use every trick in your bag to evade it? Are you a person that avoids pain at all costs? Do you fear that if the worst comes to fruition, that you’ll never be able to survive it – that it could just be the last straw?

There are a lot of us out there that try our darndest to dodge pain and discomfort any way we can. It is painful when we desire things to be a certain way and life seems to simply conspire against us. And it’s easy to think that challenges, and the pain that often accompanies them, might just break us.

But maybe our thinking is off base. Maybe the pain we are feeling isn’t going to be our undoing. Maybe it’s the opposite. Maybe what life is throwing at us is simply resistance to make us stronger.

In this podcast, we discover that the difficulties life throws at us aren’t necessarily roadblocks that we have to work around, but they are actually opportunities to grow, to build own strength.
