Facing Life’s Tough Challenges: Will You Live in Defeat or Fight to Overcome?

Rarely will you find a person who is excited about facing a struggle or challenge. Most of us whine, ask why me, and sometimes are even offended the struggle is interfering with our lives. Regardless if the struggle is health related, a financial loss, an addiction, an unexpected accident, the loss of a parent/spouse/child, etc., we have to decide if we will live in defeat or if we will fight to overcome the struggle. Struggles are as certain as death and taxes. How we deal with them and what we learn from them is not. Choose wisely.
