“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.”
“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.”
Paulo Coelho ‘ The Alchemist'
I realize I am using two different Paulo Coelho quotes (from two different books!) but these seem to go together so well!
Sometimes things are overwhelming. Sometimes it all seems like just too much and the desire to run away or just go back to sleep is almost beyond our ability to handle it. If you think about this - everyone has these times. We move through them - we become better!
These are the times we are forging our spirits through adversity. Even if we don't understand why something is happening in the time when it's happening - we are comforted in the knowledge that one day it will all make sense, and we will look back and see how much we've grown and how strong we've become.
Everything happens for a reason - Never Give Up.
With much love -
