That sounds like a nightmare, Shannon! Wow. But so true that doing hard things makes us better at doing hard things, and helps us take on even harder things. And I love that image of pulling hand over hand when you're in the dark.

thank you Cari! I just thought of this experience recently-- and it seems so apropos for where we are today. I'm glad it resonates :)

Very compelling story, Shannon! It resonates a lot with all the lessons shared in "The Grit Factor". Indeed when we learn to deal with the most difficult we can handle the other not so harsh stuff.

YES-- and we just get better at dealing with the challenges, right? It doesn't make them less challenging...we're just better. I'm glad this resonates!
