Challenges are a major part of our lives but who says we can't prepare ourselves to face whatever challenges life throws at us? You've done a great job enumerating how we can prepare ourselves better to beat the challenges that comes our way and one of the ways that struck me is having self value. I think it ought to have come first because it takes one who understands his or her self value to see the need to plan, study and prepare oneself to be more equipped. Excellent pots. @dreemport led me to your post. Keep the ink flowing!
