The more we run away from challenges, the more they bully and torment us. The more we run towards and look forward to challenges, the more they put on a sheepish grin and melt away. When life piles up the challenges thick and high, the real adventures say, "Is that all? Bring it on. We can take much more!" They slice through all obstacles like a hot knife through butter. When we welcome all of life, then all is well.
