“Smooth seas do not make a great mariner.” ~ Seneca
Stay in the pond and you’ll get swamped in the sea.
Challenges temper us, making us stronger and more confident.
Situations that once seemed staggering become easy. It’s not
the circumstances that have changed, our confidence, strength
and effectiveness have grown. Be grateful for those gifts of
strength, they build us into what we need to be to face the
challenges of the future, to be happy and feel confident.
Happiness is not stressless, a happy life is not stress free.
