The author of The New 10 and expert on redefining beauty for women, Dawn McIntyre, writes a new article, Do You Laugh At and Learn From Life’s Challenges?, encouraging us to embrace challenging seasons of life as opportunities to develop our character.

CALGARY, ALBERTA – May 24, 2011- Dawn McIntyre, founder and CEO of Boldly Beautiful® International, a self esteem, confidence building and spiritual growth company, recently published an article on her website, www.boldlybeautiful.com that offers another perspective on trials in life. The article, titled “Do You Laugh At and Learn From Life’s Challenges?” suggests that we can laugh at ourselves when we make silly mistakes, and we can learn from situations that might otherwise be a roadblock to our joy and delight in life.

Dawn writes, “Life is full of surprises. During the ups and downs of a national rocky economy, various family changes, opinionated office coworkers, unhealthy consumerism, and high expectations, how do you cope? For many people, life has brought seasons of difficulty. Maybe a loved one has become ill or passed away. Perhaps for you, unemployment has affected your family. Maybe you have struggled in your relationships with others recently. Life can be tough, but your perspective on it and your response to it matters. When you are living through life’s trials and daily grind, do you have an attitude of hope or despair?”

“Situations like these can be very good for our character development. If we consistently fight for a positive attitude during times of difficulty and trial, we learn to love others better and treat each other with more kindness, even while we’re hurting from life’s challenges… So, what about you? What’s your current challenge in life? Are you learning from it, or laughing in the midst of it? If not, you’re missing an incredible opportunity to embrace the good, despite the bad,” says McIntyre.
