Life's challenges

These quotes were posted on a friend's blog today and I wanted to pass them along.

“Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.”
Bernice Johnson Reagon

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”
Joseph Campbell

“We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.”
Joseph Campbell

“Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch--what make you go beyond the norm.”
