Day 204: 3 C's

Challenge. Conflict. Change.
I'm grateful for the 3 C's of personal growth and development.  They all work together, if you allow them, to carry on the process of becoming who you were designed to be, to coming into the full potential you were created for.
It works like this.  A challenge is issued.  A conflict usually arises from it because the challenge is personal, probably pierces your pride so therefore a conflict between our pride and others or our soul ensues.  If we practice good conflict resolution then change is birthed from the challenge and the conflict.  This is the abridged version of the 3 C's but I trust that you are smart enough to figure out the unabridged version or find someone who can help you figure it out!
I'm grateful for the 3 C's even though they often sting because in the end I know if I can get my pride set aside and take on the challenge and resolve the conflict well then change, for the better, is happening in my life.
What about you? Have you ever thought to be grateful for challenges, the conflicts, and the changes of life?

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? 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 ...

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
