A challenge is

only as difficult

as you make it.

"Out of clutter, find Simplicity.
From discord, find Harmony.
In the middle of difficulty lies Opportunity.” ~ Albert Einstein

The challenge to having a healthy relationship and finding true love is to know
what lies in ones heart, not in ones head. The challenge is to know ourselves
before we can offer our true selves to a relationship. To know ourselves is to know
our feelings, and to understand that good feelings make for good relationships
and bad feelings destroy any chance for a mutual admiration society to exist.

Good feelings are born in ones heart through a good seed planted by a good example.

Good examples provide nurturing of the seed which allows the seed to grow in
the sunshine of trust, watered by the necessary faith, and given the nourishment of hope.

All of God's children are good seeds, some are just nurtured better than others.
The real miracle of living is that bad seeds can become good seeds, if they are willing
to learn to trust, have faith, and love themselves and others. There are also sick people,
trying to get well, who can fill their lives with meaning and purpose if they to can learn
to have trust, faith and love in their hearts.

Alcoholics and addicts are not bad people trying to get good,
they are sick people trying to get well.

The challenge for the good and the bad, the sick and the ugly, is to get out of their heads,
and learn to feel with their hearts.

To meet any challenge you must have a plan.
The plan must establish goals to measure progress.
We should not dwell on the final goal, the destination of life, but we must learn to
concentrate on the journey of our life, starting with today.

Trust in your Higher Power to give you a long and wonderful life, and if you put together
a long stream of good days in service to self, others and your Higher Power, the rewards
of having lived a wonderful life, happy, joyous and free, will be yours.

Have faith, even some bad seeds turn out to be beautiful wild flowers.

Trust in your Higher Power, know that all fruits and vegetables grow from a single seed.
Today, be the flower that bears the fruit to nourish the world.
Today, know that there are tomatoes, potatoes and roses and your choice should allow you
to be just as God wants you to be, not as what others expect of you.

Today, if you are a cucumber, do not get pickled, because once a pickle, always a pickle
and you cannot become a cucumber again.. Make sure "you" are healthy before you go
picking a soul mate. Seek out the flower of a healthy fruit, which is just like you, so that
together you may do God's will.

The challenge of life is to grow, enjoy the journey, and leave this world a better place
for those seeds which you have planted

Have faith, opportunities will appear if you allow your Higher Power to help you plan
to meet your challenges.

May your challenge for today be how to do all the good things
that love and kindness have given you the opportunity to enjoy.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
