Youāre free to choose the easy path. But just remember that when you do, youāre also choosing to give up the growth that you would have gained on the more challenging road.

When you grow up, you realize that it takes nothing away from you to admit your mistakes and confess your faults. In fact, it only adds to your credibility, especially if youāre in a position of leadership.
And you also realize that you donāt have to blow your own horn or announce that you were right every time thatās proven to be the case. Wisdom leads you to be humbly silent and let your victory or vindication be announced by others in due time.

Choose your focus wisely. We tend to see more of what our minds are set on. If itās fixated on whatās wrong, youāre always going to have a hard time seeing whatās right.
Train yourself to see opportunities instead of obstacles. Train yourself to see detours instead of dead-ends. Train yourself to see possibilities instead of problems.

Most of us have power lying dormant within us. In a normal day, we donāt require it at all. Most days, thereās no need to dig into that well, no reason to tap into that reservoir.
But then there comes THAT day! The day when all hell breaks loose. The day when it seems every obstacle imaginable grows out of the ground to stop you from getting to your goal. The day when the enemy pulls out every weapon heās been forming to use against you.
On THAT day, you realize thereās more to you than meets the eye, and you prove it to everything and everybody thatās lining up against you!
On THAT day, you remember that greater is He thatās in you than he thatās in the world, and that you can get through anything because of the One who strengthens you!
On THAT day, you know for sure that the same power that raised up Jesus from the dead is working in you!
And when you do what you could ONLY do through Him working in you, all you can say is, āThank you, Lord!!!ā

You would have never gone back to school and finished your degree if you hadnāt lost your job.
You would have never gotten the therapy that saved your family if you hadnāt hit that wall or hit rock-bottom.
You would have never gotten back in shape and made those necessary lifestyle changes if you hadnāt gotten that diagnosis that rocked your world.
The struggle shows you strength you never knew you had. The pain exposes the problem that needs to be healed. The weakness thatās revealed lets you know where you need to put in the work.
Sometimes the challenge you never wanted brings about the change you always needed.

Obstacles always lead to innovation. Itās the river in the way that makes us build the bridge. Great strides can result from your struggles. The key is to not get so focused on the problem that you miss the possibilities!
Yes, it can be difficult and discouraging when you come to a roadblock, but donāt let yourself get overwhelmed by those emotions. Feel what you feel for a moment, but then reset yourself and look for what you can do differently.
Choose to seek solutions. Choose to create something new out of the old. Choose to embrace the potential for growth that exists in a tough situation, and you may end up making something miraculous.
