The strongest tree in the forest is not the one that is protected from the wind and rain. – Anna Barnes

Strength comes from exposure to hardship.

How best to prepare ourselves for the bigger challenges in life?

Consistently exposing ourselves to the smaller ones.

Challenging ourselves daily builds up grit and resolve.

Pick something small today to challenge yourself.

I could be as simple as skipping a sweet treat after lunch.

I could be as challenging as a 10 or 20 mile run.

Regardless of where you are today, there is a way to push a little.

Find something and do it.

And then try the same exercise tomorrow. And the next day.

Make it a great day.
