"The happiest and most efficient people in this world are those who
accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to
capitalize on it when it comes along." 
~H. Bertram Lewis 

Good morning! 

How do you react when trouble or difficulty come your
way? Do you rise-up or shrink-back? Many people do not realize
their true strength and power, and as a result they shrink-back
when trouble or conflict arises.

But I can guarantee we will likely live more days that have some
essence of conflict or trouble than days that are trouble-free. We
have to own our strength and power and develop skills to rise-up.
As trouble surfaces, accept it as a natural part of life. And then
capitalize on it by asking yourself: What can I learn or try that
will make me stronger for the next thing that comes my way? Use
troubles to experiment with creative problem-solving and
creative-thinking. You will likely be surprised how many problems
you can solve and you will be liberated by your positive action.

Your Turn:
Today as trouble surfaces, accept it as a natural part of life. And
then capitalize on it by asking yourself: What can I learn or try
that will make me stronger for the next thing that comes my way?

Your affirmation: 
Challenges are gifts to build my problem-solving ability and
personal strength.
