Difficulties teach us...

Do you want to learn something new? Embrace a difficult endeavor and you'll find a great teacher. The harder the task is, the more you'll learn and the more creative ways you'll find around difficulties. Last weekend, we watched our grandson Finn and this little guy - almost ready to walk - is relentless in his way to discover new things around the house, experience new situations and always find a path to what he wants. It's the embodiment of the innate ability we all have to overcome adversity and conquer the unknown.

The good news is that for him, it's just a game, an endless way to play. For us, difficulties stand as obstacles we simply don't deserve because we're too good for them and we've already pay our dues. Please, do me a favor, try to get back into your inner child, take a fresh look at what surrounds you and begin finding your way around “insurmountable” issues. You'll discover that you can conquer most of them because each hold the key to its secret, and given enough determination and work on your part, they'll be willing to hand it to you!
