Climb or Whine?

  Life's full of obstacles. Some of them random chance puts there, others we bring on ourselves. Any given day we face one hundred hurdles to jump. At any point in time we've got one we're working on.

  For some of us they're huge and feel like mountains, for others they're just a little speedbump. And there are those who try to pretend they're not even there. However you interpret them, we each have a climb before us. That straight, smooth track we envisioned when we were young always looks rougher when we see it up close.

  When we come to one of these walls, we have two choices before us.

  Option number one, you can stamp your feet on the ground, pout and complain, and blame the builder for putting it there, then try to find some way around or arrogantly stand and wait for somebody to clear the path for you.

  Option number two, you can suck it up like a man and start climbing.

  It may seem unfair to have to face an obstacle others don't. It might seem like the lane you're on always has more boulders than the person next to you, but complaining won't change what's in yours. The solution to an obstacle always starts with the one who's faced with it, so when life throws up a wall, I give you two choices;

  Are you gonna climb or are you gonna whine?
