We're going on a bear hunt, I'm not afraid!

How many of you remember imagining going on a bear hunt as a child? I do! I would pretend all the time with my mom and sister and other kids that I would babysit that we were walking into the deep dark woods in search of a bear. But, at each turn, we would encounter an obstacle. Maybe it was a log on the path, a body of water, that had to be crossed, a dead end path that lead nowhere and we had to find a new way - but as the saying goes...

You can't go over it, can't go around it, you had to go through it. And such is life, right?!

We may feel like we are in the middle of a bear hunt, figuratively speaking (hopefully not literally, but if so - cool!). Oftentimes, our response is to just go around the obstacle or go over it or under it - but what we need to do is go THROUGH it.

We must face whatever it is and know that by going through that challenge, we will realize that we can endure hard things. We can endure scary things. We can overcome whatever it feels like is holding us back.

What are you avoiding? Maybe it's time, you suit up and get ready to go on this bear hunt with me. Let's face whatever it is that's tough for you right now and go through it together.

And P.S., don't forget your bear spray!
