Everyone has a pain file. You have got yours. I have got mine. Here are a few notice experiences that have become positive gains in growth for me over the long run.
The pain of inexperience: I expect instant success early on my career but stumbled often because of my immaturity. I had to learn patience and earn respect and influence from others.
The pain of incompetence: I did a lot of consoling early in my career and was terrible at it. That forced me to reevaluate my gifting. Only when I started equipping people did I find my strength zone.
The pain of change: Early in my career I changed organizations. That meant I had to start over. Though difficulty, it afforded me many opportunities.
The pain of financial loss: A bad investment decision cost us greatly. It was not fun selling my assets to cover it. It helped me to be more careful in rick taking.
The pain of not being number one: I was never as loved or respect since I am not number one. That taught me humility.
The pain of traveling: My career has kept me on the road. It taught me to value my family and motivate me to make the most of our time together.
The pain of responsibility: Leading organizations and having many people depend on me has rewired me to think of others’ wellbeing, continually create new content, keep my calendar full and constantly meet demanding deadlines. This has been very rising. But it also has taught me a lot about priories and self-discipline.
