You can either be like the stream that meanders around each rock in its path, and work it’s way downstream, avoiding conflict and confrontation. Or you can be like the rock of Gibraltar that stands steadfast in spite of the tumultuous seas and life’s many storms.
It is usually easy to take the path of least resistance. However, it takes mental and intestinal fortitude to weather the storms and stay strong in the face of adversity. The easy path, is not always the best path. Such is life.
