I reading through School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity right now. The following passage really hit me when I was reading it.

Your “Why” is the reason you are doing anything at any given time. It’s your fallback when things get tough. If you can’t answer that question, you will likely fail. Similarly, if your “Why” is extrinsic versus intrinsic, and you find yourself in a truly adverse situation, your likelihood of making it to the other side is slim to none. Your going to need a bucket full of “Whys” throughout your life depending on the various situations you find yourself in.

Brad Ritter –  School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity

We do so many things in our lives without a good “Why”. We do it because we are expected to or because we think we need to. What is your “Why”? Don’t stop at the first “Why” dig deep and answer the question to as deep a layer as needed until you get to the depth you need to answer the question.

We have Exiles (The experience of afflictive emotions usually as a youngster i.e. shame, anger, etc.)

We Develop Protectors (Managers as socially acceptable ways of compensating or keeping unwanted emotions exiles and Firefighters reactive ways of dealing when the exiles are triggered) Both can be unhealthy ways of not facing our feelings or learning how to cope effectively with life and all it’s difficulties)

Then we have our self or the part of us connected to God that is able to live in reality and on life’s terms. We can use this self energy or connectedness to God to reach our exiles and help our protectors to not be so extreme in their ways.

CSAUP next Month was discussed.
