Different abilities, not disabilities
"When we train and strive for a goal, it teaches us to dream. When we struggle, it teaches us determination. When we win, we find joy. And if we lose, we can find the strength to try again." http://www.specialolympics.org/

Get at me, Satan!
Fighting the Devil can feel really, really hard. When the Bible says that Satan comes to "steal, kill, and destroy", it is not talking about a metaphor.

Ruined by a bad attitude
I have a friend called Steph. She is one of those ridiculously chirpy people who\'s positive outlook always looks for the good in everything. Let's just say she\'s a pretty positive person who\'s optimism runs off on everyone around her.

Simple questions
I'm a big fan of asking questions, and adhere to the old Chinese proverb that 'He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question is a fool forever.' But the right questions can do more than build up mere factual knowledge, they can be a powerful tool to bring about insight and change in our lives.

How to say no like a pro
I used to be terrible at saying no. Until I got better at it. Now, at any given moment I could drop the N-bomb like a boss (as in, the word 'no'. Don't know what N-bomb you were thinking of). It could be a salad (something I would never say no to) or it could be an offer of marriage (which happens all the time) (not really), but 'no' is no longer as scary as the bogey man.
