There seems to be a resounding theme in nature – many elements goes through some struggle during the growth process. A tender shoot must push its way through the earth in order to grow into a tree. Carbon must endure extremely high temperatures and immense pressure before it can transform into a diamond. People are no different.
On the other side of a struggle is the best version of ourselves if we endure the process.
I’m a firm believer in God and the purpose of struggles He allows us to go through. No one likes the struggle. It’s stressful, painful, and often lasts longer than we would like. There are no shortcuts and the only way out is to go through it.
But the strength formed through struggle is the key ingredient required to soar. Our struggles don’t only transform us into survivors; they give us the ability to fly to unimaginable heights.
