As I look back over my life I remember how most everything I wanted to do seemed like such a struggle. Trying to raise children alone, dealing with a major illness, going back to school at age thirty: all of these life events were so difficult for me at the time. I even used the word "struggle" to describe my life to those around me who seemed to be able to do so much so effortlessly.
But I don't think our lives are meant to be a struggle at all. Instead, I believe that we could better serve our inner desires and passion by looking at every event that presents itself as a challenge. We could "do" the things we want to do instead of "trying" to do those same things. I am not saying it will be easy. But nothing worth having is ever easy. For the next week I want you to see every struggle as a challenge. Be a problem solver and not a complainer. See how that works for your life experience.
