“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” — Thomas A. Edison.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. That’s the philosophy of all babies, toddlers, and kids. They learn the basics of being a human by a natural pathway built into their brains. They try, fail, and try again until they succeed. Facing down milestone challenges with admirable carelessness, they improve with care-free confidence, knowing they’ll succeed.
That was once you. And it still can be. That ruthless tenacity and will are etched into your DNA.
So, when you come up against a seemingly insurmountable challenge, it’s time to believe in yourself. It’s also time to shed the idea that a hurdle spells the end and that if you can’t clear it in one go – that means failure. In reality, problems are solved step by step. Day by day. Just as a child gets up after falling down – so too can you.
What’s more, you can turn obstacles into opportunities. Often, the harder you have to struggle, the stronger you become.
When life challenges you It is preparing you for something great in the future and unless you learn certain lessons you will miss that opportunity.
If you have a lot of challenges you are one of the lucky ones.
Challenges are gifts embrace them because they will teach you to develop the skills and the character to create a new and better reality in the future.
