Waiting for My Roses

I am experiencing an uncomfortable level of stress right now. I keep reminding myself, stress and fear are a part of growing process. It's natural to fear the unknown. Turning back and giving up are not an option for me when I believe I am on the correct path.

What is in a goal? A measure of discomfort, plus a measure tenacity. Add to that equal measures of preparation, perseverance, and hard work. Finally, add a double portion of faith. All of these ingredients are necessary.

Perspective makes a difference in maintaining motivation for our goals. Look at this picture. What do you see? I could focus on the rain, or the thorns. But, I see a limb that will be in full bloom with roses very soon.
