Something to ALWAYS keep in mind...

"The things that challenge us show us what we are made of." - KL

I was chatting with a friend on Facebook and asked her how her life was going with work and school. Her response was only half positive, to which I replied with the above quote. And then I began to see how very relevant it is, even in mundane terms.

A juvenile example resides with my son who I just bought some new jeans for him to wear this fall. The jeans fit him very well and look good, however, the snap in front is tough for him to do by himself. Even for me, I could understand his frustration. The jeans really were difficult to snap and unsnap! At five years old, he's feeling like he's too little and not strong enough to be able to fasten these challenging jeans by himself. To this I said to him in my silly, but encouraging voice "You show those jeans who's boss. Show them what you are made of. Don't let them win. You are so much stronger than you think." And you know what, he hasn't had a problem since.

Everyday challenges from button snaps to dealing with whiny children or rude people, you have a choice......let the moment take you down and show you who's boss and win.....OR.....YOU show it who's boss and YOU show that challenging moment what YOU are made of. You are so much stronger than you think!

With an abundance of peace and love.....

Namaste!
