SURVIVING

I have been thinking more and more about resilience and perseverance ever since I was injured six weeks ago. There is no one answer for how to overcome life's challenges. However, looking beyond one's self and one's troubles is certainly a start.

In this vein, I read a wonderful Op-Ed by the Indian-American author Akhil Sharma in the New York Times today that echoes this same sentiment.  You can read it for your self here. 

Whether it be prayer, kindness, or meditation, do whatever you need to do to get through life's challenges  If you are lucky, this strategy will not only help you survive. It will also help you thrive in this, our one and only, life!
