Today I’m talking about how wounds can be a good thing.
Let me explain…
Wounds result from traumatic events that can happen at any point in life. No matter how great your life is, you will be wounded at one time or another.
Most people spend a lifetime obsessing over their wounds and trying to fix them by any means necessary.
But those same wounds can serve us.
They can be the cause behind some of the best things in our lives.
Even if you don’t know exactly what your wounds are, you can see the benefits they’ve created.
You can look back at your life and say, “I get how my life has trained me for this.”
Let me share my own example.
For a long time, I felt like I was broken. My wounds made me feel like there was a lot I needed to fix.
My reaction was to put on a show. Little by little, I became comfortable doing it in front of thousands of people. That’s how public speaking became second nature to me. Many people have this huge fear of being on stage, but it makes me feel good.
Each one of us has their own version of this. A talent that came from their wounds.
Wounds help us develop a functioning ego that allows us to go out there and get things done. They build resilience and can be the biggest motivator in our lives.
I’ve met many people who are nowhere near as wounded as I am. And they don’t have the strength and drive that I do.
Of course, this only happens if you know how to use your wounds to your advantage. If you can see them as something that got you to where you are right now. This mindset shift can be the most valuable lesson you’ll ever learn.
