You can do it

I am passing on a thought that helps me when I have problems. It helps to think, "Someday this challenge might help me help someone else." I was talking to a mom of twins. I asked her what it was like. Even though her twins are now grown, she started crying telling me how difficult it was. She also said one day she was at the store and saw a mother of young twins; she went over and said, "I have twins too (now grown) and I remember how hard this was; can I help you?" She offered a hand to the mom who was struggling to keep the children happy. That young mother then started crying, grateful to this lady who had experienced her trial. As I get ready to move, again, I think, "Man, this bites." I really don't enjoy moving. But, I had an experience to help someone once who was moving. I gave her a few things to help her move day go smoother. She asked, "Thanks, this is perfect, how did you know?" And of course the answer is, "Been there before." So, hopefully whatever you are dealing with now, you can take it better knowing someday you can help someone else and say, "Been there before" when they ask, "How did you know?"
