I know that most of us view struggle as something that is unpleasant. Lets face it, who wants to experience pain and hardship? What if I told you that struggle is a blessing? Let me explain.
Struggle offers us perspective. Struggle allows us an appreciation of all that is good that exists in our lives. It provides contrast. Cloudy days make us really appreciate the nice days and vice versa. If we come from humble beginnings we will likely be far more appreciative when we experience wealth. Have you ever had a time when you lost your health, only to regain it? How much did you appreciate your health then?
Consider struggle as another word for growth. If you give thanks for the struggles in your life, you will overcome them much more quickly. You will develop a mindset of gratitude by training your brain to see every experience as a blessing. Know that life’s struggles are as much of the human condition as eating and breathing.
Change your perspective, change your reality.
What current struggles are you experiencing that you need to give thanks for? List them and change your energy towards them. You will be amazed how your life changes.
Have an abundant and inspired week,
Thank You for this perspective.
