Good Wins

Why is it that some people handle adversity better than others?  When facing the same situation, why do some people wither and others blossom?  What can we learn from those who have grown through adversity?  Life lessons from a WWII survivor can help us get beyond today’s issues to a beautiful future.  

Sometimes, things stand in the way of our best life.  Life is better- life is good- when we let go of whatever holds us back. If you’re holding onto anger, bitterness, or anything negative, consider forgiveness.   

 You win by forgiving.  It doesn’t make you smaller, it makes you larger.  You’re not weak to offer forgiveness; it takes strength.  

 Forgiveness is a gift you give to the person who hurt you.  And to yourself.  Forgiveness doesn’t change the past.  It might change the person who hurt you, or it may not.  It changes you.   

What do you do when everyone else is winning, succeeding, and advancing- but you’re not?  

Almost everyone spends a season feeling less-than or second-best.  Your time is coming.  You are a winner, an overcomer and can have the best of life. 

It’s easy to get caught up in chaos, dysfunction, and bad news.  Slogans can help us regain control and stability.  

“Keep Calm and Carry On” helped guide a nation through their bleakest times until stability and peace returned.  Maybe it’s time to dust it off and let those simple yet powerful words serve as a reminder that darkness is temporary, goodness will prevail, and your future will surely be bright. 

Your life will move in the direction of your strongest thoughts.  Whenever I face something difficult, I find that it goes easier if I remind myself, “I’ve Got This.”  It’s so simple, yet it works every time. 

You are bigger than the challenges you face.  You have it within you to get beyond where you are to the best you- to the good that lies ahead.  You’ve Got This.
