Throughout our lives, we will always find ourselves striving for as many things as possible. These could be dreams in life, yearly goals, or solely for a better tomorrow. But no matter what it is that we are doing, there always seem to be a certain level of roadblocks or obstacles that get in our way. There will still be some setbacks that push us further back, yet our goal should always be to be a little further ahead every time we bounce back. This life is not meant to be easy, nothing that great truth is. There are always teachings and ways that we can adapt and better ourselves for the road ahead.

What is our most significant teacher?

So, I was at the gym earlier today, and I realized that this was the first time that I had felt sore in a while. The body only feels sore when you begin working out after an extended period of inactivity, or if you exercise regularly, it means that you are pushing yourself beyond ordinary means and beyond the standard threshold, or you are working on muscles that had previously been dormant. It means that our bodies are growing.

Pain is something that can be used in every aspect of our lives, for it is one of life's most exceptional Teachers and sources of growth. pain may not seem like it at first, but it is our first step to prosperity. It is the part of our lives that is designed to build us up and mold us into the person that we were meant to become.

It is the bedrock of every success story and allows is to rise to heights that we never thought were possible. They are designed to prepare us for the road that lies ahead of us.

How to rise up and overcome

While seeking and striving to fulfill our goals, we will come across many painful times. We will feel pain during the nights of little or no sleep, we will feel pain during the setbacks and failures, we will feel pain while leaving our comfort zones, and we will feel pain hearing the criticisms from family and friends.

This pain uncomfortability wasn't placed in our endeavors to beat us down and force us to quit. It was given to us to strengthen us and allow us to grow and evolve into the person that we wish to become and achieve the life in which we want and deserve.

The trueness of our success in life is dependent on our inability to quit.

No matter how much pain you may be going through, always remember that the depth of your pain is an indication of the height of your future. Never quit, for the pain and hardships will pass, everything on the others side is everything that you dream of and are capable of achieving, for your potential is limitless.
