"If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point." ~Dirk Benedict, American actor

Life is not about avoiding things like sorrow and difficulty.

And yet, how often do we spend our days dodging the pain, sidestepping the challenges, declining the invitation to live out loud because it might hurt too much? Real life includes tears and laughter,  disappointment and contentment, missing the mark and dreams come true.

If avoidance isn't the point, then what is? Discovering how to blink away tears and shoulder disappointments and keep your focus on the end-0f-the-rainbow-vision even when you've missed the mark a thousand times.
