The Guarantee

In life there are not many guarantees. One thing that is guaranteed is that there will be challenging moments. How you deal with those moments will help mold who you become. A lot of times we come to a trial in life, and we ask, “why me”? We back away from the problem, from not making enough money at our jobs, to not being able to shake bad habits. What ever the opposition is, big or small, our response should be, “try me”. Life is filled with moments of strife, just remember, the struggle is the process of progress. Progress is not made with no opposition, so in life when you come to opposition remember it is a part of the growth process. A body builder’s muscles come from continuously going to the gym and challenging their bodies with more weight or more opposition. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. Before the opposition we have choices. We can choose to be lazy or undetermined. Without a challenge, we lack motivation. When adversity hits, it gives you an ultimatum. You have to find a job and your goals for the year become a necessity. The manner in which you handle  adversity is what determines your success. Some of the most talented go undiscovered because they crumbled under the pressure before the pressure formed a diamond. Endure the pressure and invite the development.
