When we learn to work with life’s difficulties, we stop seeking security outside ourselves and begin to find it within. Accepting this truth frees us from the weight of challenge, pain, and uncertainty, and allows us to use them as fuel. Life then becomes a continuous journey of growth, with us in the driver’s seat, turning every step into an adventure of becoming. Thus, you no longer do you need an answer, you become the answer.
