Each day in our life comes packed with different challenges. These challenges can sometimes be exciting and bring about a happy ending. But most of the time, challenges get coupled with difficulties. Difficulties in turn can get us stressed and even burn us out. As individuals, it is very important to convince ourselves that there seldom comes a day without a hurdle to cross. When we have such a prior understanding, challenges will fail to shock us.
I would like to put it another way. Just think about the last travel experience you had and try to remember the challenges faced. While traveling, there isn't much time available to solve a problem. We never wait for others to act first, instead we promptly go forward and find an alternative solution. A traveler is ready to seek advice from knowledgeable people without any inhibitions. Such a mindset helps to overcome any challenges on the road or anywhere. Because we know we will be stuck very badly if we do not find a solution.
Life itself, in essence, is a journey. Nothing can help us better than to have a traveler's mindset. Now, let us journey through the important picks from the past week.
