Do You Feel Like You Are Really Being Tested?

This Week's Simple Tip

The more challenging times in life present us with the ultimate test of "mind over matter," especially when endurance is required. Take for instance a child or teen who is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Without a cure, diabetes can pose life-threatening complications, so children must learn to take control and better manage their diabetes to reduce the risk of these difficulties.

Or check out this clip where Amy Bockerstette, a golfer who has Down's syndrome, plays and pars a hole with pro golfer Gary Woodland. Regardless of all she has had to deal with in life, her amazing attitude and mantra "You've got this" inspired Woodland to win the U.S. Open.

So what can we learn from this? We can do ANYTHING if we set our minds to it and are determined, including embracing some of the good changes the pandemic has brought about rather than dwelling on all the negatives.
