Laughing at Adversity

As a child I learned to turn and sometimes run away from the challlenges that life handed me.  I rememeber allowing myself to get so worked up over the slightest thought of something not going my way or feeling pushed into a situation that I had no control over.  Sometimes I would be so affected by the situation that I would withdraw and move away from the front line that life had handed me accepting my place in the shadows.

Let's face it; life has a way of beating the best of us at times.  But through life's challenges, I've discovered that no matter how hard life deals it out, I've always come through!  But I didin't just come throug, I came out stronger.

Today, I will look at my challenges and confront them with courage.  I will not step into the shadows; I will not be overrun by the greedy and selfish.  Today I will stand my ground and accept my challenges.  I will finish today stronger then I started.  I will laugh at the adversity in my life and accept it for what it is.  An opportunity to be the best I can be!
