Adversity is a challenge for us all. In this new podcast, Mike Fisher author of the book Beating Anger and Mindfulness and The Art of Managing Anger shares his experiences of how to deal with adversity and turn it into an opportunity for growth success and of course happiness.
Mike has extensive experience in the field of human potential and with his vast experience in this field he offers many of us the opportunity to reframe our relationship to virtually all negative experience that we face in our life’s. In his view adversity gives us choices whether we emotionally sink or swim.
In this podcast Mike offers us the opportunity to consider and reflect on some key pointers to reframe out experiences by using this basic formula for change in our lives.
Such as above every dark cloud is a silver lining and when one door closes another door opens. He talks about trust your future self because it's your future self that has inside information into your own potential well-being.
He reminds us that every single situation is an opportunity for growth and the key to that is living fully in the present but keeping an eye on the past and the future. One of his favourite quotes ‘Prepare for your future and know you cannot control it’ Another bit of advice is ‘If you want to change your circumstance then you have to change your reality’.
His conversations a pretty much common sense so in small ways he is just reminding us of what we already know but have forgotten. This podcasts is rich with over 14 ways to view diversity as an opportunity for growth. I most like his one on when life throws you curve balls become the curve ball.
