Nugget Of Knowledge
"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses."
~ Alphonse Karr

Challenges will always exist, and so will opportunities. We get to choose which one we give our attention to, and that choice shapes how we show up every day. When we choose to look for what’s working, what we’re learning, and how we’re being stretched, we stay forward-moving. Gratitude is a choice that requires discipline.
