Miracles By Any Other Name


"Out of difficulties grows miracles."

Jean de la Bruyère
17th century French satiric moralist

In business we substitute "challenges" for difficulties, miracles become "accomplishments".

Call it what you like; when things block your progress, identify them, plan to overcome them, and then do so.

Do that and you'll have your miracle.

  1. I've accomplished so much I initially thought I couldn't. I'd say the biggest obstacle for most of us is our own self-doubt regarding our abilities.

  2. I agree Kathryn and many others who write on this subject do as well.

    When my boys were growing up I told them, "Don't take yourself out of the game, make someone else do it."

    My point was, do all you can to achieve whatever is important to you and if you fail then, fine. But don't not try because you think you won't succeed.
