Some of the most powerful comments people post on this blog are about resiliency and tenacity in the face of adversity. These comments are a reminder that everyone faces challenges
You may see someone at work or in the community who seemingly has "everything" ? a beautiful house, a cabin on the lake, brilliant children and a successful career. However, everyone has a burden to carry or an ache in their heart. There are no exceptions.
"Do not judge lest you also be judged," is sage advice. If you haven't walked a mile in someone's moccasins, you have no concept of what their life is like. We would all do well to remember that and to try to be patient and charitable with others. We're all on a journey to seek out peace and serenity, but we can't get there if we're weighed down by resentment and anger.
