"Never say never. In your life you never know what's going to happen next." ~ Gwen Stefani
Never Say Never. What experiences have you had with this life truism?
I've experienced two sides of it. The "don't give up" aspect and the "don't dismiss possibilities" feature.
I learned not to give up on my mom when she had a stroke and the prognosis first suggested she'll never recover." She did.
When I said, "I would never live in a cerain place," guess what happened? I did.
When my husband and I thought Sanibel would never again be lushly tropical and magical after Hurricane Charley pummeled it, and maybe we would not return, we were mistaken on both counts. It did and we did. One of the stories in The Twelve Gifts from the Garden is "Never Say
Never."
We're not above making mistakes or being mistaken nor below reaching a star or healing or achieving seemingly-impossible dreams.
As Michael Jordan said: "Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illustion."
Let's wisely stay open to both the challenges and opportunities life presents to us today.
With faith, hope, and love.
