How do you respond when faced with a crisis, cross-roads, or uncertainty? We all come face to face with extreme fear, anxiety or anger at some point. How do you deal with it?
Job loss, relationship break-up, economic melt-down, paying the mortgage, providing for a family; there are times when you will feel the crunch. This builds on increasing levels of complexity.
How do you stay grounded, relaxed but focused enough to build mastery, maturity and the skills needed to overcome the obstacle you face and use it for your growth?
How do heroes respond to challenging situations or crisis? In order to overcome it they have to acknowledge and face its presence, while often they have to, with the help of a mentor, channel, train and develop their powers to understand and know how to master it.
Faced with crisis, we resist because we do not want to loose control (which paradoxically we never had to begin with). However, if we can choose not to respond to this impulse but embrace, own and deeply understand our challenges then we can develop mastery.
As far as I can see when faced with crisis you have 2 options:
As things become more complex personal mastery holds more value. More complex problems require a greater level of skill, knowledge and ability to overcome because this gives you what you need at that level.
Faced with crisis, do you respond with push-back, resistance and the need to control or do you apply yourself and develop the level of skill and maturity to master it?

As far as I can see when faced with crisis you have 2 options:
- Give into the feeling of overwhelm, anxiety and helplessness
- Own your feelings and anxieties and take appropriate action regardless of future success or failure
