Wind

“Adversity is like a strong wind. I don’t mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.”  

Arthur Golden

Adversity, obstacles, challenges and tests.  

They will  never be life’s exceptions.  Always the rule. 

You are meant to be tested.  You are built for challenges – both great and small.  To be pushed toward and then beyond all of your known limitations.  And if you are  living right, you will be pushed even harder and farther.  

That is the way it is supposed to be.  

How else could you gauge the temper of your mettle?  

In what other venue could you reveal your character? 

 How  would  you finally “meet” yourself – and find out who  you really are?
