The most successful people in this world were not born into their positions. Nor did they accomplish their biggest goals quickly and flawlessly. In fact, most would say that their most meaningful lessons and moments were products of difficulty and challenge.
How will you ever know your limits if you don't push them to the edge? Or recognize your strength if not tested? What is wisdom if not the desire to continually question what you think you already know?
I have personally been struggling with feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness at seeing my hard work thearted and my dreams being put on hold. Why does everyone else seem to have all of life's answers but me? I live a life of trial and error- when will I get it right?
Then, I remember that my dreams are lofty and my aspirations astronomical. The greater the goal, the more work I am going to have to put into it. I might spend the rest of my life pushing myself, stumbling and falling, rebuilding, questioning, and reinventing- all in an effort to fulfil my purpose. I know in my soul that God intended my life to have impact, and if all I ever do is try over and over again (continually battling obstacles) in pursuing His mission for me, I will have lived a good life.
So take hope. Continue to fight for what you value and believe in. The more hardships He places in your life, the more He knows you will be able to handle, and the better the person you will become.
