Struggle
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You struggle to understand. And that struggle gives you profound, indisputable ownership of whatever understanding you acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggle is unpleasant. That does not mean it is futile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggle is a difficult, draining experience, and from that experience can come great value. In times of struggle you discover and develop your strength by putting that strength to a meaningful test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggle is unfair, uncomfortable, inconvenient, dangerous, painful, frustrating. Get yourself through the struggle and you have something real, something consequential, something that empowers every corner of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t always choose your struggles. Yet you always have the choice as to how you face them and what you do with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within life’s greatest struggles are life’s greatest victories. Take them as they come, give your best, and seek to transform your struggles into a life of meaning, of purpose, of consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
