"What we need to overcome adversity in 2012 is a seven-letter word. Can you guess what it is?
William Ward said "Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records."
If you have it, you can slay your giants too. But first have you guessed what the seven letter word is?
Of course, it is COURAGE!
Courage challenges the unbeatable, dares the unthinkable and achieves the unattainable.
Dare to get out of bed with a positive attitude.
Dare to begin again with grace after a moral failure in your life.
Dare to back up and apologize to somebody you have hurt.
Dare to do what is right when everybody else is doing what is wrong.
Dare to dream even when life seems like an unending nightmare.
You can defeat any giant in the New Year, IF you will but have the courage to pursue your dreams!
Max Lucado said, "Concentrate on God and your giants will tumble. Focus on your giants and your feet will stumble."

Thanks for this inspirational post.
Dealing with my son I have many days where I don't even want to get out of bed let alone with a positive attitude. And it is hard to dream when life is this unending nightmare with a drug and alcohol dependent teen.
you both have demonstrated so much courage in your journey with andy. Hope the new year brings positive change to your son and health and happiness to you all.
Wilma
Thank you for the excellent post. It is easier to have courage when you have good PSST friends.
Happy New Year to All.
