Opportunities to be Strong

Sitting at my favorite cafe, with my eggs, toast, and a hot cup of coffee. I was one and alone with my thoughts and I feel grateful and content.

It made me remember how I was so motivated by wanting unrushed and quiet mornings. I simply wanted a life where I get to wake up and start my morning slowly, happy and excited to face the day – always with a cup of hot coffee on my hand. I continuously design my life and make intentional decisions that lead me to being able to do just that.

It’s not always smooth sailing. Every now and then life would throw challenges. What’s life without it anyway?

A wise and awesome man once told me – challenges, struggles, pains, heartbreaks – whatever you call it, these are all opportunities to be strong. So when I’m faced with one, I look at it as a chance to be stronger. To be better.

I know myself too well. I am sure that as long as I have my constants, then I will endure whatever challenge that’s given to me, gracefully.
