The School of Hard Knocks

Over the course of this blog, you'll see a lot of reference to how HARD something is. Or how something isn't going so well! And it is the truth.

I hope that there might be a reader that stumbles onto it that through my experience there might be something they could relate to that would help or maybe make them laugh OR commiserate with....isn't there a saying that misery enjoys company????

In the header section I noted the saying STEP FORWARD. I like that attitude and even though I tend to write about some of the things that make me WHINE....I ultimately start each day optimistically with faith.

I found this today....Steve Pavlina has a very successful blog and he was interviewing Marc Allen. I didn't even get to finish it because right off the bat is an insightful truth and it motivated me to write today.

He quotes Napoleon Hill: Within every adversity, is the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

I am thankful to be reminded that there is OPPORTUNITY in every problem. The secret is found in how we think about/view the problem.

Check out that blog. I think it is interesting. It is helpful reading in dealing with the school of hard knocks!
