Don't just survive - thrive!

See today's challenge as tomorrow's breakthrough: you will thrive.  Mary Anne Radmacher

What seems to be the obstacle for today?  Or maybe its not an obstacle but a challenge.  Maybe the challenge lies in getting over the obstacle!  I think those can be two different things.  But regardless, what is it for you today?  It doesn't have to be a "grandiose" challenge, it can be something as small as eating 100 less calories today.  The challenge is yours to conquer and nobody has permission to judge what the obstacles in your life are.  Because we are unique, our challenges will be unique to us and what will help us develop character.  
How do you approach challenges?  Do you groan and grunt your way through and just wish for it to be over, not ever looking for what treasure can be gleaned from it?  Or do you groan and grunt your way through (*grin* let's be honest we all groan and grunt our way through a bit) but have the awareness that at the end, at the completion there will be a reward that you really can't even imagine at the moment?  Could it be that at the end you will have conquered a roadblock and broken through to continue on your journey?  And when we breakthrough we thrive.  We don't just survive to wearily continue on but we actually flourish and thrive and press forward with anticipation of "what's next?".  
Here's your challenge for today (if one hasn't already presented itself):  see whatever challenge does pop up today as something to conquer.  To conquer it will empower you.  And that's thriving my friend.

Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
