The Struggles To Greatness For a time in your life, have you ever pictured yourself being known by everyone as a successful and generous person? But have you ever seen yourself struggling to try to find your way out to those hurdles? Struggles are part of success. Success without undergoing struggles may not be as truly successful as those who have overcome a lot of problems in life. Generally speaking, people born with a silver spoon are immediately considered successful people but that is a misconception, for me at least. Defining success is about having the sense of fulfillment in your heart that no matter what happens, you have already given yourself the contentment that you needed when you evaluate how did your life go through. There may be struggles throughout the journey but these are to make you even stronger to face tougher battles in the future. Personally, I believed that God prepared me for this. I may encounter tougher battles in the coming days but I have the strong mindset all ready to go through it with my strong support group and system. **So** what's the best thing to do when undergoing struggles? **Recognize that these battles are just part of your success.** Whatever you are going through right now, please know that these are only to **test your patience and character.** Never let something destroy your focus on achieving something. Keep your eyes on the prize. Never let go of the determination and willingness to pursue whatever you desire. As I said, these struggles are present go be your strong foundation for facing future tougher battles. When that time comes, for sure you have a stronger mentality and toughness to deal with it. Don't keep running away from the struggles. Face it and deal it with might and grace. **Reach out to supportive people you feel safe with.** Battling alone can be so depressing. Share your struggles with the people who truly care about you and are ready to support you. It is not because you want to stress them out, it's for you to distinguish as well who's ready to fight the battles with you. That builds a stronger relationship as well as you go through the circumstances. They feel valued and recognized because you reached out to them. Don't let your pride or fear of rejection kill you. If there's one thing that destroys your future, it's pride. It hinders you to explore and be free to do what you want to do. **Take** care of yourself. There's nothing wrong with having a full pack of determination and grit when you eye for success. However, if you have already compromised your health and well-being, that's something you need to change. You have to take care of yourself by going for a walk, enjoying the company of nature, going out with friends, and rewarding yourself with the little achievements you had. It is crucial to take care of your entire being because that plays a huge role in surpassing trials. **Avoid comparing to others.** Instead of complaining about why things don't go in your way, and why others are more successful than you, why not focus on your lane and build strategic and realistic goals? Comparing yourself to others won't serve you well. It will just poison yourself from envy and take you to negativity. Don't let negativity ruin your plans. Keep your focus, face them and overcome them. For sure there are things worth celebrating for, it is still a choice on how you manage your life. You should not let those struggles crucify you from achieving your ultimate goals. **There may be delays but always make sure to keep moving forward.** **Lead image source** https://www.lollydaskal.com/leadership/the-heart-of-struggle-the-leaderships-journey/ Thanks for reading.

Whenever I face struggles, I always tell myself that it is there to be overcome and to build you to become a better person. Good morning Jeaneth
Equipping ourselves with the right mindsets will truly help us to overcome the battles. π
Alam mo Jeaneth yung self-love talaga we need it. We have to look after ourselves. We struggle to be better. We learned and we get wiser. Not everyone is religious but my faith in God leads me back to light. I've been through a lot since I was young and I always complained and hated people in my life and even God for all the problems but somehow life made me realize it's worth the storm to enjoy the sunshine and rainbow. We just have to keep going. Struggles lead us to Success.
True madam. The weather may be stormy but we just have to believe that we'll get through it no matter what happens. β€
Sometimes when I struggle I always think maybe there's a reason behind it. Everything will be fine ,if it's not fine then that's not the end.
That's right. Everything will be fine. Malampasan rana nato oy. π
I still remember those days na sobrang hirap na hirap ako dahil meron akong unknown na sakit. Not truly unknown, pero 4 doctors already checked up sakin pero walang masabing specific na sakit. Anyways, yeah for tough battle, you need tougher mind.
So na diagnose ka ba sa sakit mo?
The struggles we encounter along our way serve us our motivation to keep on going. Just enjoy the single pace that you take.
And make them stepping stones to achieve your goals.
These struggles make us the person we are right now. Without them, we won't be as strong as we currently are. That's also one of the reasons why nagteacher ako, to inspire my students, to somehow prove that struggles made me who I am today.
You are doing a great job C. Tama ang motivation mo β€
Yes madam that's true. Struggles are part of success. Before the person succeed he/she experience a lot of struggles that's why it's really important we must be brave while achieving our goals because there are a lot of challenges also. Yes madam we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. We should be contented on what we have and we must focus in our own.
Focus lng tayo sa mga battles natin madam. Hehe
Oo madam focus lang talaga tayo. πͺ
Struggle makes you stronger. Keep it coming but keep on solving them π
Tama jud ry. π
True ate, at yubg struggle rin nagteteach satin pano maging matatag at maginf maayos in the future. Kasi if mahat madali, di tayo matututong magplano at magdecide ng tama.
Exactly. That's totally right, Gy. Hehe. March, when byahe mo?

Wow, this is so motivational, our struggles in life may keep on coming and coming but surely greatness is on its way. Nice to meet you
Comparing ourselves with other people will really do no good to us. We have to focus on our own path. Thank you for this ate Jea. This past few days, I am starting to neglect my health again :(.
Do you sleep late again Neil? Skipping meals? π¬
