Turning Pain to Purpose

Mindset Monday

There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.

—Fred Rogers

The title of this newsletter, Meaningfully Mundane, represents my attempt to find life lessons from the ordinary moments of our lives.

That begins by asking, “What is the lesson here?”

This question is also a powerful tool for grappling with hardship. If you can turn your struggles into purpose—a trial of character and growth—you will emerge a more capable, compassionate human.

As Rogers’ said, there is no life free from pain… Might as well put the pain to work.
