You’ve probably noticed by now that life isn’t always sunshine, rainbows and fluffy puppies. Sometimes life likes to launch weaponised citrus fruit at our lives, apparently to bring our enjoyment levels down, but that’s not why. When life gives you lemons it’s to test your capacity, to test your tolerance for discomfort and to help build your character. Why must there be discomfort? Because nothing ever grows in a comfort zone and because, to quote Thomas Paine: “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.” So the question today is, can you stay in your higher level — the best and most positive version of yourself — when the trials of life threaten to bog you down? Can you you reframe the prevailing hardship and, rather than become demoralised and self-pitying, rise heroically to the challenge and accept it as merely a test of your capacity, and nothing personal? The thing is, it’s easy to be your best, most positive self when life is plain sailing, but it’s a test of true character to remain your best, most positive self when the waters get choppy. If you fade and succumb to your lowest energies (e.g.: anger, hatred, bitterness and spite) when times get tough, then you will stay in that downward spiral until you grow out of that limiting mindset. So, treat every thwartation* as a test of your capacity and simply vow to prevail; remain your best, most positive self whatever the circumstances. ________________ *No, I know thwartation isn’t really a word, but I laugh in the face of lexicography! #testingyourcapacity #capacity #character #charactertest #buildingcharacter #thomaspainequote #thomaspaine #wisdom #lifecoaching #karanscott #karanscottcoaching #karanscottcoachingblog #karanscottcognitivebehaviouraltherapist #karanscottnlpperformancecoach #nlpcoaching #cbtcoaching #coach #lifecoaching #lifecoachingtips https://www.instagram.com/p/Cku0IR9Du8J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NO PAINE, NO GAIN: This day in 1776 saw the first publication of Common Sense, a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. In clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage people to fight for egalitarian government. Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which before the pamphlet had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history. It remains the all-time best selling American title, and is still in print today. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era". #thomaspaine #thomaspainequotes #paine #americanrevolution #revolution #americanhistory #history #america https://www.instagram.com/mrdavidcperry/p/BseVqNijHqV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=saz3zppy4bg4

And why does the road to Easy Street go through the sewer? 💠 To teach you how badly you want to get there, or not. 💠 To teach you the skills, and to provide you with the experience required for when you get there. 💠 To strengthen your character, whilst also revealing hidden or unacknowledged talents and resolve. Yes, the journey may often be grim, but nothing worth having ever comes to you easily. In fact, let me cite my favourite Thomas Paine quote to explain why… “What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value”. #easystreetgoesthroughthesewer #easystreet #wecandohardthings #workhard #hardwork #lifecoach #whenthegoinggetstough #nlpcoach #karanscottnlpperformancecoach #karanscottcoaching #tuesdaymood #karanscottmentoring #tuesdayvibes #tuesdaymotivation #motivation #fullspeedahead #fullsendsonly #thomaspaine #thomaspainequotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CQsSf85juH4/?utm_medium=tumblr
