From predicament to achievement

We get on the path to our goal, and before we know it, we feel a bit of a challenge; it seems that what we thought would happen is not happening as we would like: a predicament of sorts.  Being of a determined nature, though, we do not see the obstacle as an end but just part of what we have to deal with on our journey.  As it turns out, this predicament is the start of our path to achievement.  It is good to remind ourselves that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success.  It is about the resolve to overcome.  Finding what inner strength lies below the surface that we can tap into and using it all along the journey.  Ultimately, the shift from predicament to achievement is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure, thrive, and find meaning in the face of challenges.
