YOU GROW THROUGH WHAT YOU GO THROUGH

In your life difficulty WILL HAPPEN; that is an inevitable rule of the world. Unfortunately, difficulty sucks; difficult things are hard and make us feel uncomfortable. While there is no remedy to the immediate “suck-ness” of DIFFICULTY there are some (longer term) benefits of EXPERIENCING it. Whatever the event, no matter how negative it may seem, it is important to remember that WITH DIFFICULTY COMES GROWTH.

WHAT DOES NOT KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER
A bit cliche but it a universal truth. We, as humans, are BUILT for survival (which essentially means we are efficient at preserving energy). In order to do so we have the tendency to take the path of least resistance. By having to overcome DIFFICULTY throughout life we are pushed to create solutions. The VERY ACT doing this requires a significant level of self-improvement and personal growth to occur; so the next time this hardship presents itself you are better prepared to deal with it.

JUST THINK OF WHAT IT WILL MAKE OF YOU
Overcoming DIFFICULTY has a compound effect, and when applied over time, can have absolutely STAGGERING RESULTS. Very much like a blacksmith forging a sword, layer after layer of self-improvement is pounded into you until you are a SIGHT TO BEHOLD! If you don’t SHY AWAY from difficulty, the short term reward of comfort will be VASTLY out shadowed by the long term reward of self-improvement. If becoming someone you are proud of is not rewarding enough, you will have the SATISFACTION of knowing that your journey to success was not easy.

NOTE: This post only refers to difficulties THAT DON’T KILL YOU. If it WIIL KILL you then… yea, try to avoid that.

THINK WELL. ACHIEVE MORE. LIVE BETTER.
