The year is coming to a close. With most of my life coaching clients we are reflecting upon the year in the following way:

Think about your year. How do you want to acknowledge yourself. In what ways did you rise to the occasion. What if you said to yourself, “Mark (your name) I’m really proud of you. You handled that really well. You accomplished that well. You have a lot to build on in this next year going forward.”

Now your job is to fill in the blanks. I think the number one challenge that most of us face is how we handle adversity in our lives. And that adversity quite often is the meaning we give to an event in our life. How about you?

And of course some of us faced significant challenges that have had a direct impact on the quality of our lives. How were you challenged this year? How has that challenge made you a better person? What have you learned about yourself?
