It is so simple yet not understood. It is so accessible but not utilized. It is so desired but not conquered. It is right in front of our eyes yet oftentimes we don't see it. Some possess the wisdom of it, while others search all their lives for it. What is it? It is our own personal power. The answers begin inside, but many of us end the search outside.

Challenges force choices that will either break the spirit or force a battle of action that will go over, under, around or through them. If we encourage a passion and stroke the flame, it will grow to a blaze that will spread like wildfire rich in enthusiasm and guts; no obstacle will be a match for their strength of will.
What a wondrous gift we as parents have the responsibility to bestow upon our children. Imagine...

I was watching my six and nine year old daughters playing the other morning when suddenly there was a barrage of I Hate You and I Don't Like You Anymore statements flying about the room. Of course, it was just a moment of disagreement in child play, but the thoughts and feelings were real enough to them at that moment.
