The Reframe That Builds Resilience
“I hope my manager finally sees my hard work and gives me a promotion.” “Please let investors say yes; otherwise, the company is doomed.”
“I wish my partner would reconnect with me and stop being so distant.”
“God, just help me lose these 10 kilos quickly.”
Look closely. Each of these “prayers” or “wishes” puts power outside ourselves.
They demand change from others, from luck, from life.
They make us passive.
But here’s the blunt truth:
– Your manager may never notice.
– Investors may still say no.
– Your partner may not change.
– Weight doesn’t vanish magically.
Waiting for the world to bend to us only creates frustration and helplessness.
Now imagine reframing those same prayers:
– “Give me the courage to ask for feedback, the confidence to showcase my work, and the patience to keep building value.”
– “Grant me the resilience to face rejection and the creativity to find alternative paths.”
– “Guide me to communicate openly and rebuild my own sense of joy.”
– “Give me the discipline to make small, consistent changes and the strength to persist through slow progress.”
This isn’t just positive thinking.
It teaches us to control only what is within our power.
Reframing builds emotional resilience and reduces helplessness.
Over time, this mindset shapes your identity into someone who is self-aware, grounded, and growth-focused.
When you shift the focus inwards instead of outwards, you stop chasing miracles and start building strength.
That’s real progress.
That’s transformation.
At IntuiWell, our Personal Growth Program is built on this principle: stop asking for the world to change, start asking for the courage to grow within it.
So next time you whisper a silent wish, pause and ask:
Am I outsourcing my power, or am I reclaiming it?
