Of the many things we learn while going through a challenge (or difficult time or hardship) in an attempt reach and maintain a goal – such as weight loss – two are extremely important.
1️⃣ Self-Knowledge and Perspective
Challenges force you to come face-to-face with who you are. Lessons learned often reveal limitations, patterns, beliefs, and skills you didn’t see or appreciate before. This shift, which increases self-awareness, is powerful. You have the chance to make new choices based on what matters; how you act, think, and feel; and what you can and can’t do.
2️⃣ Flexibility
Willing yourself to move forward through challenges builds added strength to tackle new challenges. Flexibility allows you to be resilient as things change, and it teaches you to be open to learning.

When you’re in the middle of a tough time, these gifts of self-knowledge, perspective and flexibility may seem far away or irrelevant — but they’re invaluable.
You must recognize that every challenging experience in life provides you with invaluable information if you’re attuned to hearing the lessons to be learned.
