Life's Challenges...

This week almost everyone I have had a conversation with seemed to be going through a difficult and challenging time, from relationship breakdowns, to ill pets, to problematic teenage issues creating angst and upheaval within family units. All of this can be emotionally (and physically) devastating and soul draining.

That started me thinking again about life and why we get thrown our challenges to conquer.

But, that's what life is all about! I believe, to learn our lessons through various 'individually' picked situations......and if we don't learn them the first time around, we are given the same lessons in different scenarios. That's why we are living this physical existence. To learn, grow, evolve.

If that sounds too farfetched to believe, one thing I am certain of. It makes no difference what we are confronted with in life, it's how we react that's important. It's how we learn, grow stronger and become role models for our children, our families, the people around us.

So it's not what happens to us, it's how we handle the difficult situations that come our way.....and I believe we are not dished out more than what we can carry, even if doesn't seem so at the time.

Life isn't always easy, but hey, it's also pretty wonderful.
