Publisher's Synopsis
"It's just another situation". These are the words I have long lived by, mainly because they remind me that nothing can beat me down, whatever complex challenge I might face. Throughout the years, I have experienced all kinds of things - being born and raised in a country where my views and experiences as a female were not always welcomed (if so, rarely), growing up in an environment that did not foster innovation or critical thinking, moving overseas at a very young age and being disowned by family for a few years, and many more.
And yet, these were all "just another situation." No matter how hard the problems were, how difficult the challenges I faced became, or how strenuous the work I had to do was to overcome these situations, I never gave up because deep down, I knew that I had more in me. I knew that I could keep going and that I had a little more energy and oomph, and that the situation wouldn't be the end. This led me to where I am today, as the owner of the Dog'N'Date Café. However, I was not always the owner of a café. In fact, I have held all kinds of jobs in all kinds of countries and in all kinds of industries. I was in nursing, but also a social worker, and was also in politics. I was a writer for a prominent political journal. I also worked as a cleaner and many others. My life was all about the next situation - what would happen next, what I would do next, who I was with next, and so on. Then, I also became a mother, and unexpectedly so. I worked hard to raise her well, but through my years of hard work and the burnout that ensued in all these different jobs, I could not always be there for her. And yet, again, I see this as another situation: something that I was able to work on as I learned and experienced more and more of life. Now, I live in the great United States of America, and I live the true American Dream. But life wasn't always this happy or this fulfilling - life was often, and still, challenging and testing. This book showcases how you can overcome your testing situations, but only if you see them as "just another situation." You cannot let yourself be overcome with sadness, and you cannot give up, even when things get exceedingly tricky. This is where resilience comes in, and this is where I want to help you.Embracing the idea that life is "just another situation" can unlock one's true power potential. I encourage readers to step out of their comfort zones, pursue their passions, and cultivate a growth-oriented mindset. By sharing my self-discovery journey and personal development, I wish to empower many individuals to tap into their unique abilities, achieve extraordinary things, and remember that life is "JUST ANOTHER SITUATION."
