Living with the challenges

There’s something you can be sure of, once you work through a problem. You’ll encounter another problem.

It’s a fantasy to think you’ll ever be completely free of any challenges. But that’s no reason to give up, or to let the challenges overwhelm you.

Because you can be just fine in a world of continually appearing problems and challenges. You have the experience, the strength, and the purpose to live successfully among those challenges.

A few of your life’s problems you’ll be able to eliminate completely. Yet there are others you’ll have to learn to live with and to manage.

That’s not giving up. It’s acknowledging and dealing with reality, and it’s something you’ve been doing your whole life.

Be honest with yourself about which challenges you can get fully beyond and which ones will demand your continued vigilance and effort. Then persist in taking the effective actions that enable you to live a fulfilling life, no matter what the challenges may be.
