it brings, it's necessary for our overall
growth.
Once you understand that transitions
are necessary, know that it's to lead you
to something more significant, even
when outward appearances show you
otherwise. Every transition I've had in
my life has overall led me to something
better, even though I didn't realize it at
the time.
HOW TO HANDLE TRANSITION
Vanessa Abron
Accept that transition or change
is constant and that we all will
have to undergo change at some
point in our lives. Sometimes the
transition is fun, and sometimes it's
painful. Regardless of the feeling
While a transition is necessary and will
lead to a higher good, it sometimes can
still be painful. If that's the case, know
that how you deal with a transition
is YOUR choice. Sometimes as we
transition, we have to go into our cocoon
to develop during the process and
perhaps do some prayer, meditation, and
self-reflection. Other times we may need
the support of family and friends. No
matter what decision you make, know that
it's your choice and there is no right or
wrong way to deal with your transition, as
long as you aren't doing harm to yourself
or others.
HOW TO PRACTICE RESILIENCE
Chrishon Lampley
Embrace the process:
Understand that it’s a process
and embrace it! We all have
problems, and we'll go through
changes, but if you keep going, it
will all make sense later.
Your surroundings matter: Take
your life lessons and use them
for growth. The people around
you are teachers and they help
create your story.
Be yourself: Be you and own it.
You're special and wonderful. I
knew being weird and different
would pay off growing up and it
has. I’m weird and different in my
industry and I am using it to do
better every day.
