Yes, you can teach resilience. Make up scenarios in which one must show resilience to overcome major obstacles and role play different options and outcomes whereas you come out on top!. Exercise those scenarios in your mind whenever possible.

You may not have a hell of a lot of good sense but you do have to use the hell out of the little that you do have.

With every breath hope rises.

In life things won’t often go your way. Work hard to focus your attention on the things that do.

The smallest spark can become the greatest light.

It is important that we surround ourselves with positive imagery. The colors alone can affect our moods but I also believe that the overall message can change our minds, lift our spirits and nourish our souls.

Creating artwork allows your mind to be in a safe place while it contemplates the tougher issues you are dealing with. One can use the tools of brush, paint, pastels, crayons etc to expose and even for a short time color those issues in a different light.

Success can be reached only by first getting started. Courage is something we call upon when we are afraid but know we must continue on. Determination is that inner spirit that keeps us getting up every single time life knocks us down and Will is that switch that we click on inside our mind that has no off button and controls every forward thought we make.

If we could only step back and see what God sees. All these beautiful colors blended together on one planet.

America the beautiful open your heart and you will find that Yes, your mountains are majestic but your children are divine.
