Blue skies

Most of us seek the best in life; The best experiences, the best job, the best relationships and the best in ourselves...But life isn't always the best it can be...It's not all blue skies and beautiful days. Sometimes it rains, is cold, wet and windy. Life doesn't always run to the ideal plan or version of it we hold in our heads.

It's often at the moments in life when things are not going right when we discover who we are as a person.

When adversity strikes we find out how resilient we are, what inner strength we possess and our level of perseverance and persistence. It's also at those times when our weaknesses and failings are exposed.I believe it's at those times we learn more about ourselves through understanding how we dealt with a particular challenge and how effective that action or attitude really was in affecting it.

Life never runs exactly to plan, however learning from our mistakes, and appreciating the good time puts us on track for our best version of it.
