And if someone ever did, why would you believe them? If it were easy, everyone would do it, so what’s the point? Where is the glory, the sense of accomplishment, the growth? It is in the struggle that we grow; it is in the heat of the fire that both metal and character is forged.
It is only in time of testing that we find the truest depths of our strength, deep wells of reserves we knew not that we possessed. When through perseverance and resilience we overcome and emerge victorious, we are forevermore the stronger for the trials and tribulations withstood.
