Journal Writing Prompt: Growth

“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.? The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”

~William Ellery Channing

In your journal, write about a recent difficult that arose.? Did it rouse your spirit or did it discourage you?? Why or why not?

Daily journal writing prompt bonus:? I know with some difficulties, particularly when they are out of your control, are quite discouraging.? I experienced a situation like that recently – it was completely out of my hands…leaving me with a helpless, frustrated, and, yes, discouraged feeling.? However, that same situation did make my spirit stronger, and taught me some life-lessons that will stay with me and help me avoid a similar situation in the future.? Have you faced a situation like that recently?? What was the life lesson you learned?? How do you feel you grew due to that situation?

Happy Journaling!
