Way back during a part-time summer job, I was lamenting to a colleague about a struggle I had at the time. The colleague gently responded that in time, we all face our one struggle or another and that's life. Her kindness and honesty at that moment was so helpful to me, and since that day I've seen life as a collection of experiences and events -- some good and some not-so-good.
As I think about this today, I'm once again encouraging myself to embrace the "goods" I've been fortunate to experience and receive, mitigate the "not-so-goods," and work towards living my best life for self and others. Onward.
