Happy International Women's Day to all the wonderful, brilliant, strong and multi -talented women out here!

There's this story about a donkey that fell into a ditch. The owners decided that it was more convenient to bury it than to try and rescue it.

So out with their shovels they came. Each would dig up a shovel full of dirt and pour this into the ditch where the donkey lay.

Unbeknownst to them, the donkey at the bottom of the ditch was shaking off the dirt being piled on it and stepping on this.

On went this activity until the donkey got to the surface and simply walked away, free from what was once a ditch that trapped it.

What's my point? Sometimes you may feel like you're in a ditch and the people you expected to help get you out are instead pouring on dirt to bury you. You're not alone (I feel that way sometimes too).

You always have a choice, even in the gravest situations. It's not about what happens to you, it's what afterwards you choose to do.

So, just shake off the dirt, the limitations, the ...(fill in the blank gaps), step on it and rise higher.

You've got this!
