An average person wants to be comfortable, have luxury and be the best he can be without much efforts or struggle but most times life don't hand us the juicy things on a platter. We all have these pictures of things what we want to be in the next so so years but trust life, it happens to when we are making other plans and seemed to got everything locked down...
One thing I learnt with life is there will always be challenge. If you have not got one which I doubt, get yourself ready before life gets to you. Brace yourself, it is coming. It keeps coming at you in many different names and forms. How you overcome them and how many you overcome determine who you are and how great you become.
You just don't become better and stronger physically and mentally. Challenge helps you to become all that. Challenge makes you dig deeper.
Cormac McCarthy says
Those that have endured some misfortune will always be set apart but it is just that misfortune which is their gift and their strength
It is time to start looking at those challenges as opportunities or a gifts to discover something hidden deep inside of you that you don't even know about. I have never been a writer. When Steemit came along, I could have done like other people and say 'oh, I can't write' and took off. But I found a way and not a way out. I told myself all I have to do is put my thoughts together and turn them to written words. Which is what I am doing right now. It is getting easier day by day. I am still not a 'writer' but fuck it I am writing.
Challenge is ever present, you can chose to run away from it or confront it and be rewarded. To succeed and be the best you can be, you need to look at tough time as life giving you an opportunity to be a better in a particular area. Whatever tough time life is presenting you with, ignoring it will not make it go away and will likely make you a mediocre at best.
Keep doing something everyday every time to turn the curve. I have seen people give up on steemit because they are making shit in their first few days. Some times life handle you shit because it expects you turn it to manure and grow something big with it. So embrace tough times and turn it to blessings.
