Passing the Tests in the Middle

The words that grabbed my attention in this quote was Resolute Courage.  I have had to dig deep a whole bunch of times throughout the past year and a half.  I am lucky, my courage grew the minute my son was born.  I knew that in order to protect him from the negative things of this world I needed to get stronger and have a lot more courage.

Moral of the Story: Nothing Worth Having comes easy.  Acheiving something really great will include patience, sacrifice, pain and sadness - The best things in life will be the hardest to get and the hardest to keep.  You will always encounter people who are searching for happiness in the "now" - do not let them deter you.  Remember;  The only way to get from the Pit to the Palace is to pass the tests in between.  Keep going, Keep pressing forward - The best is yet to come.

Bring on the Problems, Bring on my Strength

Have you ever wondered why when life seems really tough, it seems to get tougher and tougher?  I am now a firm believer that a tough situation is followed by tougher situations for one reason and one reason only, to help me get out.  Bad decisions, like the ones I have made in the past, will not be easy to "get out of".  But I am on my way.  With every problem that has arises, I have found solutions, with every negative thought that sneaks into my brain I over power it with 10 positive thoughts.  

Problems are not problems at all, Problems are "the way out"

Overcoming those problems give you the strength you will need 

so when you are finally OUT, you will make sure you never get in, again!

Bring on the Problems!  Bring on the Strength!
