Quote of the Day 05/06/2019

Here we are at the beginning of another work week and another Quote of the Day. There are very few truths that are evident across everyone’s path to change. One of those is that we will all face challenges and hurdles we didn’t see coming. Where we meet them, how we meet them, what is required of us to overcome them, or what the view on the other side of a challenge all depend greatly on us. But the fact remains that we will all face them. We can waste years searching for a path that doesn’t have them. We can spend countless hours pondering which path or steps will help minimize the frequency of them. We can avoid going down a path because of them. But in the end those challenges will come for us. Our choice is merely in how we meet them. We can run away from them, we can try and hide from them or we can find out spot, plant our feet, square our shoulders, look at the challenge and attack it and sometimes we will have to attack it again and again and again until we find the right point where we can break through to the other side of it. I will promise you that few things feel as rewarding and empowering as breaking through to the other side of a challenge and knowing you didn’t let it detour you or defeat you. It may only be able to delay you if you keep trying. This road can be difficult but you are worth it. Have a blessed day, y’all! Stay safe, stay dry and enjoy another beautiful day.

Challenges are what make like interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful
