ADVERSITY IS A GREAT TEACHER

Have you been trying, for what seems an eternity, to reach certain goals? 

Sometimes there seems to be obstacles no matter what way you turn. You are just about to give up and out of the a door opens that was locked previously.

Many of us have experienced this.

How long does it take for everything to align so our goals can materialize? 

If our goals do materialize from all our hard work, will they be what we had hoped for?

Some goals in life do not materialize, while others do.  I have to point out that when some goals do not materialize, we should be celebrating as we cannot foresee some of the effects our goals could have brought about.  On the other side of the coin, reaching our goals can bring about much more than we ever dreamed.

Adversity is a Great Teacher

In the long run, the results are not any more important than the effort we put into trying to reach them.  This might be hard to digest when we did not reach our ultimate goal, and all our hard work seems to have been for nothing.  Next time we might dig a little deeper and try harder; or alternative, we might know earlier when to back off and cut out losses. 

We gain perspective and learn from our efforts.  We advance in one way or another through what we either accomplish or what we failed to accomplish.  The ladder of success is not always an easy one, but one worth climbing.  Sooner or later, you will reach that ultimate goal even though it may not look like your thought it would. Guaranteed, however, we will be stronger because of our efforts and perseverance.

In the end, it is not just about reaching our objective. It is about building resilience; it’s about perseverance; it’s about building character through our own efforts. 

Internal struggles work the same way.  We build resilience when we deal with internal issues and gain strength as we make our way through them.  We learn from our mistakes and once again persevere.  We learn what it is to fail, to fall short, and we learn how to get back on our feet and begin once again.

Inner strength is built from life’s struggles. Strength comes from making our way through these struggles and learning from our experiences.  We are here to advance, learn and grow.  Adversity is a great teacher.

THERE HAS TO BE RAIN

We experience many highs and lows in life.  We have times of relative calm, mixed with times of heavy downpours of tough lessons.  Life can be irregular to say the least, and we must adapt to all the changing conditions.

There Has to be Rain

I have heard the tough lessons in our life being compared to storms.

When rain falls in our life, these are times of solitude and the time of pondering ideas and simultaneously readdressing life issues that have not been dealt with so there has to be rain.  Intensions can be stimulated during these rainy seasons, and we have opportunities to go through details and orchestrate future actions based on what has transpired. The rain nurtures change and stimulates growth.

When the Sun shines, we are ready to step out in life to begin our venture with high expectations and bright ideas.  We assimilate our action, plan with force and move ahead although we often have no idea what lies ahead.  The sun is lighting the way, and we can address situations with the know-how previously learned in the rainy season.

There has to be rain to further our understanding of what life is teaching us and these quiet times of solitude prepare us for the Sunny days when we can move ahead. When we are amid a severe storm, we know that life is teaching us more aggressively, and we must adapt more readily under these stormy conditions.  The storm will eventually clear, and the forecast will get brighter. We can expect more pleasant days ahead, once we have adjusted to life lessons at hand.

Yes; We are very symbolic here, but the symbolism is quite fitting. It is comforting to know that there must be a little rain. It is essential from time to time and that the stormy season eventually comes to an end. The Sun will shine bright and bring forth warmth and light. We are strengthened by our experiences. All things pass, even the storms. What are you planning once the Sun’s light returns?

NOTHING COMPARES

You can compare what you have or who you are to what others have or what they can do, but why? 

Nothing Compares

Comparisons only create jealousy or envy towards the other person or a feeling of lacking and doing without. There is no advantage to comparing ourselves to others. Why would we compare apples to oranges anyway?

There will always be individuals who appear to have more than we do or are capable of doing something we cannot. We are not who or what others are or can do. We are our own unique person with many positive characteristics and capabilities of our own. Nothing compares to who we are and what we are capable of doing. You are you and the skills you learn and what you acquire in life is what is needed for your life. We may not achieve our wants, but we achieve our needs.

Accept who you are and what you are capable of doing.  Acknowledge what you have achieved and place no limits on your capabilities.  The door always remains open even in the darkest moments.  It is up to us to advance, to move ahead and challenge ourselves to conquer each life lesson, to better ourselves and to rise above limitations. 

Don’t compare your abilities and your success to others.  Be content at least for the moment recognizing and appreciating your achievements.  Be thankful for your life and realize that every challenge, every lesson has made you who you are today and that person is a better, expanded, more knowledgeable person that you were yesterday. You know you can conquer and/or move forward from anything that comes your way no matter how big, no matter how difficult. Your lesson may be that of accepting and not reaching your goals, but you will grow and learn from this.

Falling short is not defeat. It is about doing your best and knowing that you did what you could and then accepting the outcome.  Not reaching our goals can be the biggest piece of luck we ever receive in life.  Not reaching our goal may open a door that offers us much more than we could ever have imagined.

Accept that life will take you to where you need to go.  Nothing compares to who we are and what we can do. We always win when we look at ourselves and our capabilities from that perspective.  Your view of you is what makes you a winner! Nothing compares…..
