When I was a kid we moved A LOT! By the time I was 16 we had moved thirty times! I felt like I was constantly taking on new places, schools, friends, and challenges. While it was exciting to be taking on these adventures, it was also a time of great insecurity for me. It was hard for me to make new relationships and I found myself being pulled down by my constant desire of approval.

What will they think?
How will people react?
Will they like me?

You don’t need to be 16 to feel these insecurities, believe me! I still catch myself sometimes when I’m caught in a cycle of approval seeking. How many of you feel this way sometimes?

What happens when we shift that mindset away from the negative, the insecurities, the self doubt? What if we replace that with a different attitude? What if we approach those types of situations as opportunities for growth?

That’s my challenge to you! When you encounter something that feels like a setback, pause and take a moment to appreciate how good it will feel to overcome that obstacle. How will that success help you grow?
