Human predicament is that we over estimate our challenges and under estimate our ability to overcome them.

Life’s challenges are not there to discourage you.  In fact, they serve you and help you discover who you are.  Challenges actually oblige you, for when conquered, they help you chase greater challenges and in turn provide you greater growth.

When life throws a dagger at you, there are two ways of catching it.  If you catch it by the blade, it will hurt you; but if you catch it by the handle, it will help you fight your way through the obstacles ahead.  However bad the traffic jam may be, we will eventually reach home.  Knowing that we will eventually reach home, we might  as well enjoy the traffic jam.

Leaders stand out from ordinary men in the way they wrestle the difficulties of life.  All great men were ordinary men who were forced by  circumstances to meet great challenges.  History is full of  simple human beings who won over forces well beyond their control and emerged as  champions.

Life is a character gymnasium.  Strength of character is born out of the obstacles overcome. 

Remember, it is in moments of darkness the stars are known.

The prayer goes: “Help me to remember, Lord, that nothing is going to happen today that you and I can’t handle together.”
