I saw a snippet of this Video, I needed to write the words. It spoke to me, it spoke of my loved ones and my friends. It spoke of us. Here is the portion of the script that I need. Take what you will. If you get it, great, you may have loved ones, friends, colleagues who might benefit, might need these words. Pass along if it will help someone.
Imagine if you got what you want every time, no struggle, No hard work, No Challenges, No hard work required. Some of you may be saying that would be great, but you would be weak and then when something hard comes along in your life you wouldn’t know how to handle it because you’ve never gone through anything that strengthens you, you cannot grow without struggle, you cannot develop strength without resistance, without challenging yourself, without struggle, Pain is your friend, maybe not in the moment but for the evolution of your soul, for the long-term benefit of you, as a Stronger human being, Pain, Pain is your friend, If you didn’t have failures, if you didn’t have struggles, if you didn’t have disappointments, you could have no strength, no courage, no compassion, how could you? those qualities are made from you’re pain and struggle,
You are given pain because you are strong enough to handle it, you are given this life because you’re strong enough to live it, because you are strong enough to drive through it, to thrive through it, to inspire others through it.
They will look to you and say she did it, he did it, I have the strength to do it too. You are stronger than you think, You have survived all your challenges to this point, and you will survive whatever is coming, but next time a struggle comes I don’t want you to curse the skies, know that it was sent for a reason, in a lesson, it might need to make a stronger, it might be to teach you patients, it might be for you to show others your spirit, there is a reason, so, don’t you give up, you have a purpose in this world you will only find if you keep going and keep growing. Your struggle is a part of your story, your struggle makes you the person you are today.
Your struggle is your life, your struggle is your gift, see many people look at struggle like it’s a bad thing, your struggle will be the gift that the world falls in love with, nobody wants to hear the story of a man that was given everything, people want to hear the stories of men and women that endure pain and turned their struggle into a gift.
