Our story teaches us how life can change in an instant. One moment, you're at the peak of your success, the next, you find yourself suddenly falling. What separates those who get back from those who stay down isn’t luck.The real difference lies in our mind’s ability to handle shocks. Just like you can't learn to swim while you're drowning, you can't build your inner strength while you're in the middle of a crisis.Nermeen Gamal is a certified mental health and wellness coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
