And, if we don\u2019t feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically prepared and are not equipped to do what it takes to \u201csweep in front of our own stone\u201d we\u2019re going to be left feeling stuck, stressed, anxious or depressed, and like life is too much to manage or too challenging to overcome the obstacles in our way. \n\nBy getting our minds into alignment with the reality that life is going to be hard sometimes and understanding that there will be difficult hours or days, we can learn to accept that it\u2019s all a part of the whole being human experience.\n\nToday on The Karen Kenney Show, we\u2019re talking about the difficulties we often encounter in life and how it\u2019s a pretty normal part of the human experience to go through them. The key words here being, \u201cgo through\u201d. \n\nThe truth is, we all can build the foundation necessary to withstand hard times, not only underneath us, but all around us. So that when we find ourselves bumping up against these harder days and or moments, we don't just have to sit back and wish somebody else would come to save us or rescue us. \n\nWe can step up to the plate, get \u201csweeping\u201d on our own behalf and get done what needs to be done.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
