“Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.”
~ Steve Maraboli
Earlier this
week I met a woman who had experienced many life challenges. There was a light, bright, healthiness about her. Happiness too.
She spoke about the lows and highs in her life in a straightforward and sincere style, like a fine journalist conveying truth about the human experience in a way that is warm and caring, neither detached or attached to the
story.
She could be a model for today's quote.
Do you know someone who deals with problems with strength, hope and grace?
Perhaps it's you. Perhaps you've mastered the ability to deal with problems with an open heart and a spirit of adventure. Not
only are you confident that you have the inner resources you need, but you have learned how to access your gifts with ease.
I'm not there yet. But I'm facing that direction and learning. Perhaps you're like me.
Without measuring ourselves against the few masters among us or judging our progress, let's continue to learn in our own way and timing about the
strength, beauty, courage, compassion, hope, joy, wisdom...all Twelve Gifts and more.
With love,
Charlene
