In order to thrive and survive in the game of life, it is important to understand that we don't have to have all parts of our life totally together - nicely sealed and wrapped - for it to be a success. In fact, the opposite is true. To live a life of adventure and impact we just need to have the will, and then to begin. There is power in that first simple step. The rest is then the process - hard and challenging, to be sure - but still a process. We are limited only by the extent of our courage, tenacity and vision. Life is a journey and we are all learning every day. Embrace that. Growing pains are part of life! And finally, remember that light can only shine through broken vessels, and we are all a little broken. But it is when we know our need to change that we can finally begin to grow.
