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.
