LIFE, CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITIES!
Life is a big, beautiful, and wonderful journey, not one day goes by that we don’t learn something new, remember that words and your actions can be tent poles. So, choose your actions wisely, and use your words effectively. Take advantage of one of the best things life has to offer… learned lessons.
In life, obstacles and stress are in inevitable. However, they do serve to teach us determination and patience. Whatever we do, or however we choose to react … is the greater lesson learned. Having grace is accepting that not everything will go according to your plan, but understanding that there is a good reason.
Hope is knowing that whatever you want or need, you might get and anything else that is meant to be yours, will be worth the weight. Patience, is having the ability to get through every day, with the faith to know that you can do whatever it takes.
Imagine the possibilities when you get knocked down, you get back up and dig your heels in a little deeper, but you don’t give up.
Every day is about moving forward, no matter how many hits you take. The challenge is in staying focused and knowing that you can !
Today, your worst mistake, might teach you the most valuable lesson. The biggest challenge that you face, might be the easiest one to overcome. The person who you would least except help from, might be the first person to offer help to you. Life is unpredictable, golden opportunities are rare, and timing is crucial. But sometimes, when you least expect it, life will give you the most unexpected opportunity, to get everything just right ! And if you do get this chance, accept it with a grateful heart.
If you look closely, you will see an ant or two, at every picnic. The point is that sometimes, you might really have to search for the good in something or someone. Not everything is clear, and not every day will be a picnic. If you spend more time wishing for what you want and don’t have, you will miss out on the wonderful things that you do have. The point is, that while others might seem to have more than you, be appreciative that you might have some things that others don’t have, but are in need of.
There will always be a silver leaning to every cloud, you just might have to find it. Everyone has some good in them, you just might have to find it. You might not ever have everything that you want, but, being grateful for what you do have, is everything.
