If I've learned anything...

I've learned that nothing is impossible. For the past month, I've been scared. Scared of failure, scared of working hard and not doing well, and scared of so many things that I can't control. The more you focus on the negative, the more difficult your fears/challenges become. But I have learned that the way you look at your situation determines the way you can deal and cope with it. 

A wise wise wise and strong woman once said: "The first chapter of "God is in the tough stuff" is "why, god, why" and to be honest, that question has never come across my mind. Really, I have never been one to complain about what cards I have been dealt with, so why start now? As I read this book, and look back on what I "haven't" gone through, I realized that I did have trials to deal with. This whole time I did have faith, I just didn't see it amongst all the "little" problems I faced."

My worries and problems are trivial... and even more so when considering those of others. The world doesn't stop just because I need to catch my breath after an anxiety attack. And I'm grateful for that...because if it did...we would be WAY behind every other planet. (I think thats a joke?)

Challenges are just Trials. And whether or not I get through them with success or maybe some failure, they are trials nonetheless. As I told you before...I FAILED one of my first assignments:) But...one week later, although it wasn't pretty, I succeeded and was published on the journalism website here.

In the words of Lloyd Christmas: "We'll TAKE it!"
