We all have to start somewhere. We have to learn and grow as we go through life and gain wisdom through experience to know how to live and thrive. We must discover our strengths and learn from our losses. We must seek, be challenged, and find out how to overcome.
Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Nothing worthwhile comes quickly. We don't appreciate things that come easily as much as we value what we've worked hard for.
Through hope and a desire to succeed, we navigate through unchartered territory. Once we are able to master that territory, we move on to more challenging terrain. For some, it's a physical challenge. It's more of a mental matter for others because we all have unique gifts and talents to master. At the same time, we navigate socially to see what works best for us. Some are more social, others more introverted. The beauty of life is that we are each unique. That's why we need to accept each other as we are.
Life is a beautiful journey. Yes, there is heartbreak, and there will always be challenges. But those things make us stronger if we view them from the right perspective.
Find the beauty among the ashes. Associate with those who accept and love you for who you are. Be grateful for what you have and keep hope for more accomplishments in the future. Hope will keep you full of life and purposeful. And faith will keep you strong!
