“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”
As one of my mentors put it, one question to ask yourself is — “if this situation were to never change, what’s the one quality you need to fully enjoy it?” That becomes your growth opportunity.
As simple as it sounds, it’s pretty powerful. That said, I think it’s important to evaluate a situation against your outcomes and avoid becoming a boiled frog in the pot.
Nice quote!
