Years ago I was cleaning while with the TV on in the background when a Dr. Phil Show came on with the well know psychologist.  As he introduced the day's episode he mentioned that a 47 year woman was wanting to be reunited with the child that she gave up at age 17 when she found out in high school that she was pregnant. The story went on that the persecution and teasing that she experiences at the hands of callous classmates literally put her in a place of disfunction every since.  She did however remember one particular cheerleader who had led the bullying and to her surprise, Dr. Phil did not bring out the child she had adopted out 30 years ago... she brought out the cheerleader!  

Oh My... I had to sit down to watch this one but the advice he gave her that day would forever remain an important piece in my own journey in the future. 

This episode addresses the hardiness and resilience we need to maneuver life and the ability we have develop a MINDSET that can open doors for us.
