Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.


Dear Children,

The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.

What is genius, anyway, if it isn't the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?. Every difficult situation is potential value. Believe this, then begin looking for it. Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes. Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Have a Nice Day,

With Love, Amma-Naana
