Life can be hard...

I think it's sometimes easy to look at our own difficulties, and find ourselves feeling sorry for ourselves. The thing is: all we have to do is look outside ourselves to see that there is someone else who has it even harder. Life isn't meant to be a bed of roses. No, rather an opportunity for us to grow from the challenges we are given. The awesome thing about challenges/trials is that we get to choose how we face them. We get to choose if we will beat them, or if they will beat us.
