Embrace The Challenge
Daily Life Quote:
"Every day you encounter opportunities to embrace a small challenge. And each time you do just that, the more you train your brain for the bigger challenges that are bound to come your way." Les Parrott
Daily Life Verse:
"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." (James 1:4)
Daily Life Thought:
Life challenges are tough. I know, I don't like them very much. But we also know that life does not stand still. Pause just a moment and reflect backwards over that past 12 months. How many challenging situations have you faced in the past year? How about just the past 30 days? There's a line some of you might know from the Star Trek series; "resistance is futile." Sure, we can dodge these opportunities all day, but it won't keep life from changing around us. What we're left with is a confused look on our face and the question, "what happened?" Every time you embrace a tide shifting in your life, you increase your ability to navigate the next one. The challenges come for a reason. It presents opportunities to grow. And growth is what produces success in life. Persevere through the challenges. James reminds us that it's the substance of our maturity and completeness.
Daily Life Question:
