Daily Gratitude: “Man needs his
difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.”

This is a hard one to assimilate…unless you’ve “been there and done that” and I will tell you I have plenty of the T-Shirts too.

Think back over your life and see what successes you’ve had. Maybe jot a few down on a scrap of paper.

Now close your eyes and visualize each of them. Really see and feel what happened. Which were easy? Which were filled with difficulties?

Now ask yourself- no one else has to know – which ones are the sweetest and felt the greatest? You don’t have to tell me. I can see your smile as you rub your muscles and remember all the effort it took to achieve “that one!”

So, next time you’re struggling, bring back that fond memory of success. These issues/obstacles/situations are just a part of getting there. And you WILL get there.
