Resolution: A Lesson from a Birthday Party

Dear friends, today I’d like to share a story from my past, a tale that taught me the true meaning of resolution. It’s a story that unfolded many years ago, at a birthday party.

The Unexpected Challenge

It was my grandson’s 10th birthday. The house was filled with the laughter and energy of young children, the air was sweet with the scent of cake and ice cream. But amidst the celebration, a challenge arose.

My grandson had received a complex model airplane kit, a gift from his uncle. He was overjoyed, but soon his excitement turned into frustration. The kit was far more complicated than any of us had anticipated.

The Power of Resolution

Seeing his disappointment, I decided to step in. I told him, “Resolution is not about solving a problem instantly. It’s about the commitment to find a solution, no matter how long it takes or how hard it gets.“

Together, we spent hours working on the model. There were times when we wanted to give up, times when we made mistakes and had to start over. But we didn’t quit. We were resolved to complete the task.

The Reward of Persistence

After much effort and patience, we finally finished the model. The joy on my grandson’s face was priceless. But the real reward was the lesson we learned that day.

Resolution is about persistence. It’s about facing challenges head-on and not giving up until you’ve found a solution. It’s a lesson that has served me well throughout my life, and I hope it serves you too.

Conclusion

So, my friends, remember this: when you face a challenge, don’t look for the easy way out. Embrace it. Show resolution. The reward will be worth the effort.

Until next time, keep learning, keep growing, and keep resolving.

Best,

Kev
