We’ve all heard it – every crisis offers opportunity – and, when you’re in the middle of it, it can be the last thing you want to hear!

When your self esteem is strong, you have the inner resilience to overcome life challenges and the ability to bounce back from any crisis. And …when it’s wobbly, a challenge can sometimes be exactly what you need to find your inner strength and build your confidence.

At some point in every challenge, there is a moment of choice when you know, know in the deepest part of you, it’s time to change – you can no longer live as you’ve been doing. Once you make the choice, it’s a case of being willing to see and do things differently, make a plan to change any habits that drag you down, and imagine the new life you want to create and who you want to become.

You may need to move beyond things that have you feel uncomfortable. The water may be choppy. Personal accountability may require vulnerability and humility. You need to own your choices, admit your weaknesses and mistakes and make a plan to move on from them. And when you take the first step …any resistance is broken and you’re moving forwards, everything is possible! What’s that first step?
