Challenges

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them. When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it. To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it, requires brains.

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the 'same old thing.' What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.
