Are you going to let the obstacles in your life be stumbling blocks or stepping stones? Choose the positive. You are the master of your attitude. ~ Bruce Lee
NOTE: I’ve witnessed it hundreds of times where someone encounters a setback and stops. The person makes a decision to quit his/her pursuit and changes his/her direction. When they make the decision to quit, they are often close to the finish line. In higher education, students who quit when pursuing a doctorate often get through all the course work. They find the dissertation too difficult. They become known as ABD’s (all but the dissertation). Stumbling blocks become stepping stones when we refuse to quit, desire to learn from our missteps, and develop the patience to endure whatever is tossed at us. Each obstacle we overcome adds to a cumulative effect that prepares us for the future obstacles we’ll face. You are strong. You’re getting stronger. Never quit.
