It is said that growth is accomplished through pain. This pain may be manifested in various forms, which can be summed up as ‘the struggle’. Yes, to grow an inch the body aches. To move from one grade to the next, we sharpen our skills and face different hurdles. However, at the end of it all, we realise our goals.

Having said this, and it almost goes without saying, that in order to continue growing or to continue gaining strength, effort and struggle are part of the equation. We need to be tested. We need to overcome.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• What are my struggles these days?
• In what ways might my struggles be providing me an opportunity for growth?
• In what ways might my struggles be providing me an opportunity to gain strength?

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
