Many of my greatest blessings can stay buried for years under layers of comfort and complacency. Often, I realize the full value of those blessings only when difficulties come along.
I believe that life’s most serious challenges do not arrive to punish me. Rather, they serve to shine a light on what is truly meaningful and valuable.
I have strengths and skills that I may never know about until a crisis compels me to uncover them and put them to use. In times of great difficulty, I am forced to call upon a reservoir of strength I may have never before known I had.
When life throws great challenges at me, that’s not the time to give up on the values and dreams that mean the most to me. In fact, that’s the ideal time to reconnect with the very best that is within me.
Within my most treasured values I will find my greatest motivation, inspiration, creativity, effectiveness and strength. With each challenge, I have a new opportunity to discover new dimensions of my, gifts, talents, skills and strengths.
When the difficulties arise, I will be true to the authentic dreams and values I hold dear. I will tap into my reservoir of strength, and rise above each challenge to a higher level of true fulfillment.
