"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." There is a strength that comes from overcoming adversity. A strength that comes from deep within you that can bring value to your life and to those around you. For you see, when you struggle through adversity and see it through to the other side, you find a new sense of renewal within yourself. It's more than "finding purpose in your pain." It's showing that the result of something hard can become beautiful. It's showing the result of pain, and how it can turn to something so good that you could never imagine it. Today, look for the lesson in everything because there is great growth hidden within the adversity that we are all facing, together. Today, recognize that hardship tests you so that you can become stronger and can face things head on; to not live on the surface and to dig that much deeper. Nothing worth having comes easy. Nothing worth reaching for will come without setbacks. Today, know that you will come out of this current challenge stronger, wiser and ready for the new chapter that awaits you and me.

Just for today, I will not allow noise, chatter or setbacks to distract me. I will allow patience, purpose, commitment to guide me. I see obstacles as opportunities to grow. I release the need to struggle and suffer. I now flow easily and effortlessly with new experiences, new challenges and new people that enter my life. I am now totally centered in the love and joy of being alive. Peace of mind is mine and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
