“Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life,
and when it comes, hold your head high.
Look it squarely in the eye, and say, ‘I will be
bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.’”
—Ann Landers
Good morning! When Ann Landers was asked to give advice
about successful living, she shared the above quote, which I
hadn’t heard until recently, when I read it in a book I received
for Christmas.
When I read Ann’s words, I was fi lled with a feeling of: Yes!!
That is what it takes to live our best life. We don’t shy from
trouble, we stare it down.
As a business owner and an entrepreneur, I have lived this
quote over and over again. There is nothing more rewarding
than the day you realize that you have everything you need
within yourself and are perfectly capable of overcoming whatever
life throws your way. When we get to the place where we
can welcome all of life—the good, the bad, and the ugly—with
confi dence, we know a peace beyond measure.
Your Turn:
Realize that we cannot run from trouble; it is an inevitable part
of life. However, we can learn to rise above it. Welcome all of
life’s experiences—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Challenge
yourself to look these experiences in the eye and use them as
catalysts to become the very best you can be.
Today’s Affirmation:
I am bigger than any troubles.
