Mindset Monday: Building your Fortress of Solitude

'I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become' - Carl Jung.

Each day we are presented with various problems to solve—some easier than others. Sometimes we experience problems we can't solve, and those problems can negatively impact us...

And this is where the opportunity for growth is born. Each challenge, each problem presents us with a choice. The choice to try and problem solve and learn from it. Or to allow the situation to impact us negatively.

How we choose to look at things can ultimately turn a problem into an opportunity.

To develop resilience, we must put ourselves into situations that are challenging. Those are somewhat uncomfortable to deal with. It's these situations that allow us to create the blocks that help build our fortress of solitude.
