Challenges
build character and make you stronger. Challenges refine you like gold.
Struggle and resistance produce toughness in the muscles. In the same way
challenges produces toughness in the mind. James Buckham says, "Trials,
temptations, disappointments – all these are helps instead of hindrances, if
one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but
strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral
energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul
nobler and stronger than it was before." We hang in there and never
give up because success and the releasing of our potential is the reward at the
end of perseverance. You're unique and one of a kind. All too often we don't
really take into consideration just how special we are. Sure we pat others on
the back for a job well done, but when was the last time you gave yourself some
well-deserved credit? I hope that you'll take just a second (15 or 20 minutes
would even be better) to think about all the things that go into making you the
'special' person that you are. On the surface you might not realize it,
but there is simply no one that is exactly like you. Now that is powerful
stuff!
