We may resist times of trial and tribulation, but it is in those moments that our character is most developed.  Our discovery is not simply limited to the nature of our being; it includes a demonstration of our true strength.  We are reminded that we are the true hero and protagonist of our story.

Take some time today to reflect on your life to date. Look at how much you have been through (and you are still here!). Rather than painting a picture of regret and victimization, celebrate your victories. Tell the story as truth--you are the hero that has triumphed over great adversities.  Now, examine the qualities that enabled you to move beyond the obstacles. It is these characteristics that define the hero: you! You will begin to notice that the challenges that you face today are no greater than those that you faced in the past.  You simply need to use the same strength of character to overcome your current challenges.

Success or sabotage? In order to be successful, you must remember that you have already made great accomplishments. How can you appreciate success if it remains unacknowledged?
