Today’s Topic: “Strength Grows Out Of Struggle”
Struggles, conflicts, issues, problems. Whatever you may call it these are the moments in our lives that create the opportunity for growth; the opportunity for success.
The question for you this week is whether or not you take this view when faced with struggle. Do you see it as an opportunity for growth or do you see it as just another moment in life designed to break you.
There is no success without struggle and there is not a single successful person that has not endured their fair share. To find success and riches one must endure the challenges of struggle.
Emerson said, “Do the thing and you shall have the power.”
Meet struggle and master it. As you grow and learn and uncover your dreams it isn’t that struggle doesn’t find you anymore; it is that now, more than ever, you know that this struggle ultimately serves you.
It isn’t the oak tree that is buried in the forest protected by the other trees that is the strongest. It is the oak tree alone; vulnerable to the elements that has grown the deepest, strongest roots. It has had to withstand the force of nature and it has ultimately stood the test of struggle to gain its strength and resilience.
Finding your true self and your ever-lasting success is not easy. If it were everyone would be happy, fulfilled and rich. What is your true desire in this life- time? Is it to be happy, fulfilled and rich? If that is your desire, which I believe is ultimately the truth for all human beings, then you must learn to embrace the struggle that you must face in your life.
But more than just embrace it. Master it. See it for exactly what it is. The seeds of your awakening. The seeds of your success.
