00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,700
We often feel like we need a reason for the 
difficulty we face.

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,900
The “why me?” question can nag us into a 
state of depression.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,800
The reality is, we often won’t receive satisfying 
answers for difficulty—but we can approach 
adversity as Helen Keller did.

4
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:28,500
She was left blind and deaf by a childhood 
illness, yet she stated,

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,100
“We could never learn to be brave and patient 
if there were only joy in the world.”

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:42,100
So today I challenge you to use negative 
circumstance as a sharpening stone for your 
attitudes and choices and actions.

7
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,500
Choose patience and grace over unforgiveness, 
find peace in the middle of grief, and joy 
despite heartache.

8
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,100
Let difficulty propel you to a better future.
