Lessons From A Corn Maze

Have you ever been stuck

In a corn maze--

Unable to find your way out?

Or how about trapped along the path of life...

 

This year corn mazes are dotting 

The Colorado prairie lands.

Farmers have turned their corn fields

Into money-making ventures

And families are flocking there for fun.

While it's fun rushing in and out

Up and down

The crooked paths

Of corn rows

It is no fun getting trapped

On the path of life.

An inspiring example of someone

Who was stuck

And found his way out

Is Dr. Ben Carson.

 

Dr. Ben Carson

 What a ray of hope and inspiration

He has been for many

Including me.

 

In "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story"

Dr. Carson encourages:



“Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles,

But by your reaction to them.

And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence,

They become your excuse for failure.

If you look at them as a hurdle,

Each one strengthens you for the next.”

Remember:

If Dr. Ben Carson

Formerly "the dumbest kid in the class"
Who had mega obstacles in his path
Can find
Peace,purpose and remarkable success--

So can you!
