There is always a way
Something to think about…
When you journey up a mountain path, you see many types of tree growth. In the lower part of the mountain are small saplings just starting their growth, as well as towering trees. Higher up, trees are smaller. Some cling precariously to the side of the mountain, growing out of a small patch of earth between cracks in a rock.
Journey up the same path after a spring snowmelt and you may see a different view. In the lower regions, once towering trees have been felled by the power of raging water, and small saplings have been snapped at their base. But up higher, small trees are still firmly in place, steadfast in their grip between the rocks.
The lesson in this is that the strongest can survive. Like the trees, you are ever-exposed to the storms and difficulties of daily life. Will you be overwhelmed by life’s adversities, easily felled by such things, or will you develop an inner strength and resiliency that will enable you to work through each difficulty?
Today recognize that challenges in life are inevitable. Brace yourself for them, hold firm to your position, and never let them dislodge you.
