I wish it wasn’t so but that is the deal. With trails and challenges comes character and with the triumph of achievement comes joy.
If you have been challenged lately you most likely have not pursued a goal or you are living way too comfortably. It is often in the trial that we find our real character, the real you and the real reasons to be better, to explore what is possible and to discover what the world has to offer you.
Triumphs do exactly the same thing with more joy attached to the success. The joy is only truly appreciated because you have been down, disappointed or even devastated at some stage during the pursuit of your dream, desire or a destination.
So don’t avoid the tough, look for the message and in the triumph look for the method that brought you the success.
