I think that we as people are innately afraid of others that challenge us to be better without meaning to because we are afraid of failing, but those others are the kind of people who forgive us and help us up despite the falls that we take. We spend so much of our time trying to be accepted and trying to be “good enough” in the eyes of others that we often don’t realize the number of people who do accept us just the way we are.  Some people don’t spend all their time picking apart our flaws or our tiny imperfections they just focus on the positive attributes and the ways in which they can help us.  As people, we spend much of our time longing for things we can never have because we think we can make them work, we like the challenge, we like to know that “we did something”, but in reality we can’t make things work out if there is no one to help us, we can’t change the world until we change ourselves, and we never know what we have until it’s gone.

So this weeks challenge: Look at the positive in others and cling to those who see it in you.  Work on becoming the kind of friend a friend would like to have and learn to trust other people.

Take a second and ponder what you think the most wonderful thing would be.  Would it be a person, a place, a job, a moment?  Now take a second and actually believe that it will happen.  I think as humans we spend so much time thinking that what we want will not happen that we live in fear of what will happen or what could become.  We are so often terrified by “What if” that we never even ask the question.
For each one of us there is something we believe in more than anything.  There is something be hold onto.  Those things we must find and we must cling to and believe in them with all our might, because what are we, after all, but a series of beliefs?
So the challenge for the week: Find the wonder in the world, find the thing that makes you tick, find your belief.  Maybe you have more than one.  Maybe you’re like me and you find the wonder in the flower growing up through the crack in the sidewalk, in the Love of a Savior, in a man who will have my heart, in the giggle of children, and the love the those around me.
Wonder is all about… We live in a Wonderland…
