Good Morning: Be Brave Enough to Live

"Life is great, if you're tough enough to live it." Aunt Connie Gill

Good morning! 

I love this quote that a reader sent in. Perhaps that is what some
of us our missing - a "toughness" that enriches our lives. The
Challenge program was created to help us "toughen up" and challenge
ourselves in every aspect of our life. To me, "becoming tough" is
parallel to becoming "personally accountable." We become tough when
we quit diffusing blows to outward circumstances and events, and
instead improve upon ourselves. 
 
Maybe it isn't "tough" so much as "brave." To stand up for
ourselves and what we believe in and what we deserve requires
courage and bravery. It is much easier to walk away from a dream
than it is to pursue it. Pursuing a dream will involve falling
down, bruises, tears and getting back up one hundred times plus.
But I'll tell you something... I've walked both paths and the
scenery is vastly different. I would take the scenery of a dream,
complete with the bumps and bruises over the "easy" path any day of
the week. 
 
Your Turn:
What do you love enough to be brave and courageous for? What do you
believe in so strongly, you are willing to risk a bump and a bruise
and become "tougher" so that you may diligently pursue the dream?
 
Your Affirmation: 
I am brave and courageous in the pursuit of my dreams.
