challenges

May the Lord grant you grace to endure the times.

Life challenges are real. You can overcome each challenge by grace.

May you find the grace of triumph in any situation.

We are each on our own journey. Each of us is on our very own adventure; encountering all kinds of challenges, and the choices we make on that adventure will shape us as we go; these choices will stretch us, test us and push us to our limit; and our adventure will make us stronger then we ever know we could be.

Overcoming challenges makes life a worthwhile adventure.

You are not your past. You are the warrior that rose above it to become the example of someone who didn't survive, but thrived in creating the most beautiful last chapter of their life.

But look after yourself - there will be great dangers on the way. Remember, the right road is never the easy road.

Challenges in life can either enrich you or poison you. You are the one who decides.

Contrary to what we usually believe, moments like these, the best moments in our lives, are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times__lthough such experiences can also be enjoyable, if we have worked hard to attain them. The best moments usually occur when a person__ body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. Optimal experience is thus something that wemake happen. For a child, it could be placing with trembling fingers the last blockon a tower she has built, higher than any she has built so far; for a swimmer, it could be trying to beat his own record; for a violinist, mastering an intricate musical passage. For each person there are thousands of opportunities, challenges to expand ourselves.

Love sustains us in our challenges, in our search for truth, in our quest for happiness.

There is a self-love solution for every challenge.

When things are challenging, remember you are not the feelings and emotions. They are just a reaction to the situation, so accept them and try to find the root source and ease that pain - The core essence of you is a beautiful, unique, authentic spirit and you are worth of everything in life.

I don__ understand hospital chaplains that try to rob my patients of their anger. Sometimes anger is a key motivator that gets people to take action. Anger can push a cancer patient to jump out of his hospital bed, walk down to the nurses station and scream, __ am getting the hell out of here!_. There is a misconception that God is simply sweet and passive. Actually, God can be quite cunning, manipulative and relentless with his children. What we consider as negative traits are actually helpful in molding us. He will use a negative emotion if needed to push people to do things that will change them for the better. He will allow people or situations to derail us if there is a chance that those interactions will push us forward. Personally, I don__ want a God that is going to send some church member to my deathbed with a plate of cookies and tell me to have faith. Actually, I rather have a God that screams, __et the hell off your ass, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Walk down the hall with that Physical Therapist so you can get on with your life!" A little anger in a person can push them to do amazing things.

You can be all that you wish and desire to be.Take the challenge and pursue your most cherished dreams.

Success is often followed by failure. Yesterday's victory doesn't win today's battle.

So many had burned opportunities in the name of postponement, believing that another opportunity will arise. They fail to seize the spur of the moment, without thinking that maybe, that could be their last chance to actualize their long nurtured dreams. Achieving your heart desires in this century requires your alertness, diligence, and overcoming the hindrances that procrastination brings.

Don__ give up! Keep trying, your victory is certain.

If only you want the best, do it till you get the best though all see is the worst! Don't ever give up on the rest, and rest; time changes!
