Life hits, and it hits hard sometimes. What will happen to us? How will we respond?

Life Hits Hard. How will we look after that?..  

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a magnificent day! Let’s breathe and smile.

Have you ever been hit by life? I mean hard. I mean when it takes some time for you to even catch your breath after life knocks you down.

I certainly have. And it is not fun when somebody pretending to be your friend, kicks you full force below the belt, metaphorically speaking, of course. What happens then?

Getting angry?
Losing trust in humanity?
Self-blame? Of course! How stupid was it to trust somebody who’s obviously such a crook?

My coach said, right down what happens to you. It may not be fun at the moment it happens, but after a while it will make a nice teaching story. There’s no testimony without a test.

I agree, even though it may take several years before saying “I agree.” How do I know? One day I’ll tell you.

My coach also said, “The hammer of life will crash the glass and harden the metal. What are you made of?”

A couple of years ago I was listening to one of my coaches at the leadership function. A man is a multi millionaire. He was talking about his path. I could hear him well, but he was blurry. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. And I definitely was not the only emotional man there.

I listen to and talk to many people. Very successful. Some of them have life stories that would put my so called “problems” to shame.

I know when things happen of any size, it hurts. Yes it does! But keep in mind, that a diamond is just a chunk or coal that did great under pressure. My coach said it too. And I believe him. I know his story. That’s why I don’t like complaining. I will just let my Diamond shine.

Thanks for stopping by.
