Today’s Just Be thought
This thought is on thankfulness. Not thankfulness that things work out the way we’d like, but thankfulness that we were challenged in the first place.
We can’t run without knowing how to walk.
We can’t walk without knowing how to stand.
We can’t stand without pushing up from the ground.
All involve challenge. Falling down. Being frightened of falling again. Managing the pain that comes from fear and hard knocks and those who disappoint us on the path to our goals.
Without those challenges we can’t grow and be strong.
That’s the thankfulness I seek – being honestly grateful to have opportunities to push past, around, and through obstacles.
Here’s the quote:
“The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.” Anonymous
