Two Steps Forward One Step Back

3 replies
It is often in difficult times that we grow and come to better understand ourselves. We grow more when we overcome our challenges and learn from them instead of being obsessed over them and feeling stuck. In the back of our minds we think that growth is supposed to feel good, but that's not always the case. Just like a muscle needs to tear to grow stronger, sometimes we need to go through struggles first before we see success. We should not assume that every setback indicates something is wrong. As long as we're making progress and learning at the same time, we can trust we are doing just fine.

We will all make mistakes in life and sometimes make the same mistakes over and over again and that can be frustrating when we're in that moment. But if we looked back on our lives, despite the struggles and difficulties, we would realize how far we have come. This should keep us motivated in every difficult situation.

    Thomas Edison failed I don't know how many time thousands right. He did not say he failed though. Instead he said he was successful finding out what did not work. Our failures are not failures but stepping stones to a new lessons or a breakthrough.
    Keep moving forward always and sooner or later you will get to where you want to go. Just never give up no matter what.

    Good thought. Steel is made strong by heat and pressure. We are also made strong by trails and tribulations. I believe very few of us would grow to our potential without challenges and difficulties in life. Life is not suppose to be easy but if we do our best, we are taught that it will be "WORTH IT" My hope is that all of us will see our potential and not settle for "second best" and always be honorable in our dealings with our fellow man.Life will then be so much better for all of us.

  • Now that is some clear thinking and dedication to understanding how success is attained.

    I enjoy warrior observations that stem from hard won personal success through the usual challenges that beset us all. Good job.
