There were times I thought that I would never survive the tension, the stress, the unresolved problems and unsatisfying relationships. But I look back and know that I have survived. I see that I remove myself from tense situations by letting go of the responsibility I feel to change other people and events. These barriers are my challenge, now and forever, and I accept that as a lesson in life. In challenging myself to conquer them, I reach new heights, new realms of self-determination and inner strength.

I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
