Wisdom of a Mother: the back broadens to match the burden

What do you gain from life’s challenges? My life seems so tough at times.

Life’s challenges develop you as a person.  They ask you to go beyond what you think is possible.  President Kennedy gave his fellow Americans a challenge on the 12th September 1962.

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

Neil Armstrong – first man to walk on the moon, 20th July 1969

Think of your challenges; what are they helping you to learn.  If you look at the challenge in a positive way, you are less the victim and both the challenge and the learning become easier.

Give it a try

Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful three little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.
