People often measure the greatness of one's life but what they can achieve. While it is great when someone can achieve, I think a better measurement of greatness is how well someone can recover. Anyone who has experienced life long enough knows that life comes through our lives like a wrecking ball now and then. The person who can pick up the pieces after that happens and get back on track is what I consider true greatness. When life smacks you around what matters most is the meaning you attach to it. You can decide that life is unfair among other disempowering meanings are you can choose to make it mean that it's a test to see how far you have come? The meaning you choose will determine how quickly you get back on track or if you will at all. There isn't a single person living that will go through life without life wreaking havoc at some point. We must acknowledge that our plans have been altered and figure out a way to quickly get back on track. This is a skill that is necessary if you are going to live the life of your dreams. The quicker you can recover the quicker, you will live your dreams. 💜 #NationalEncouragementDay #STARKidz #Love #DreamsComeTrue 🌟✨🌟🌹 Beanie and Kimono by @izzybeclothing #MidniteRoses #BeBrave
