Blessings in Disguise

If you look at your problems as problems, they will
continue to hold you down. See them instead as
blessings in disguise, and that is what they will
truly become.

If you treat the challenges as excuses for failure,
you'll have plenty of excuses but not much else.
Approach those challenges instead as pathways to
success, and that is precisely what they will be.

There is more than enough richness in life for all
those who are willing to recognize it. That richness
most often comes wrapped in challenge so as to keep
its value intact.

For if the good things in life had no cost at all,
they would not be worth very much. It is the effort,
the discipline, the commitment to overcome any
challenge, that makes a dream worth reaching.

So whatever stands in the way of your dream is really
a blessing in disguise. For when you work your way
through it, you arrive at the place you most want to
be.
