16: On How We Decide to Navigate Challenges

As a book coach, I hear a lot of people say, "What I've gone through happened for a reason" or "I'm sharing my experience so that it has purpose."

I ALSO hear a lot of people say, "I made a decision to write this book, and everyone says the universe starts moving things around in your favor once you make a decision, but all I see happening is more challenges being placed in my way."

I've come to believe these statements represent two sides of the same coin, and that there's a piece of "everything happens for a reason" that we're not talking about enough when it comes to personal growth.

In this episode of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, I explore that a bit in the hopes that it offers a different perspective on what's REALLY happening when things don't seem to be moving in your favor and how you might look at the delay (and your active participation in it) in a different way.
