What Happens to Us vs. What Happens for Us: Choosing How We Feel and Finding Purpose in Pain
In this, I explore two powerful ideas that can transform how we experience life’s challenges. First, I’ll dive into the common tendency to say that others “made us feel” a certain way—but the truth is, no one has that power over us. We get to decide how we feel and what we think.
Then, I’ll look at a deeper question: when life hands us major challenges or painful losses, could they be happening for us rather than just to us? As difficult as it may seem, perhaps these experiences are opportunities to find strength, growth, and even purpose. Join me as I share insights on reclaiming our power over emotions and turning life’s hardest moments into something meaningful.
