There is one constant every leader, entrepreneur, manager, parent, a person will go through and that is the challenges of life, business, relationship, work, family, and others. There are those who rise with the challenges of life. They come alive, dream bigger, get creative, and make the best of the challenge. While there are others who fall under the weight of life’s challenges. This group complains, murmur, gets negative, blames everybody and anything they can find, wallow in self-imposed pain, and gets sick doing that. Challenges are positive, and though they may appear disturbing at first, prove to be the essence of why we are here on the planet. When you are having a 'challenge,' remind yourself that it is in the chaos that the angels are doing their best work. Challenges are like sandpaper that removes our rough edges so that we can look our best. Like gold that goes through the furnace to bring out its purity and beauty; challenges bring out the best in us as we each go through the furnace of life.
