In this episode, we discuss the path forward. Mentally we need to know where we are and the attributes and limitations and focus on the strengths. Asking the questions to gain clarity and see hope can pull us forward or give us enough encouragement to endure many of life's struggles. When we do get stuck we can reach out to others to help us get unstuck. www.stewardshipmatters.net
