The strength of the human spirit sure amazes me at times. It’s incredible what we do get through when life throws us a curve ball.

We just don’t know what lies around the next corner of life and what strengths we will be called upon to use in order to make it around the bend. But we do adapt sometimes kicking and screaming NO the whole way, sometimes with grace and balance, and most times not without a little if not a lot of help from others along the way.

We all do have strengths to draw upon. We all do have areas of weakness or our “stuff” to work on as I like to say too.

We do learn a lot about our strengths when we are looking at one of life’s challenges squarely in the eye.

It’s hard to know what we would do until we are actually in the moment too. Thinking and doing are often vastly different beasts. We can think all we want but a challenging moment calls upon us to dig deep into the resources of our inner being. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with what we do in fact find too.

When we wonder exactly how we would handle a situation that someone we care about is experiencing, we can appreciate those strengths that we recognize and let them know just how amazing we think they are!
