Shilpa PulapakaHave you ever thought about how we can stay strong when life gets tough? I’ve been exploring this through three amazing books: “The Daily Stoic,” “The Courage to Be Disliked,” and “Do Hard Things.” These books have taught me some valuable lessons.
When I read “The Daily Stoic” it made me realize that being strong is all about how we react to problems. It’s like when we face a difficult situation at work or in school, we’re actually getting a chance to become tougher. This book showed me that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow stronger.
“The Courage to Be Disliked” taught me something important about changing the way we see things. It’s like turning on a light in a dark room. When I face something hard, I now try to think, “What can I learn from this?” instead of feeling bad for myself. This small change in thinking can make a big difference. It helps me see problems not as obstacles, but as steps to grow and learn.
“Do Hard Things” was an eye-opener. It says that instead of avoiding hard tasks, we should face them head-on. I started with small things, like a challenging project at work. Each step forward made me feel stronger. This book taught me that it’s okay not to be perfect. The important thing is to face what scares us. That’s how we build confidence and grow.
Combining what I’ve learned from all three books, I’ve started to create my own way of staying resilient. Each day, I try to face a small challenge. It might be something like sharing my ideas in a meeting. At the end of the day, I think about what these challenges taught me. I’m also learning to adapt when things don’t go as planned. This approach is helping me to grow stronger in real life, day by day.
I believe resilience is a journey. We learn and grow through every challenge. Every tough moment is a chance to build a stronger version of ourselves. Let’s keep learning and growing, turning every challenge into a chance for success. Let’s enjoy this journey together.
