THE PAIN OF SUCCESS

Everybody wants to be successful. That is the mind-set right from birth. Even a child whose mind is not well developed will tell you he or she wants to become someone great in the future. Why? 

Because there is a genius in every little one of us. Our minds conceive great things even at that tender age. But there are just a handful of successful men and women in our communities. Where did all those kids with great vision go? What happened to them? 

There is a great mystery to unravel. Success is not just something you wish and you have it. It is fiercer than a battlefield. In this life if you want to succeed, oppressors will oppress you, barriers will be built in your way and obstacles will be thrown at you. Criticisms will be aimed at you and you will be told all the reasons why you won’t succeed. 

But if you want it badly and you feel you need to get the finish line no matter what. Then you will succeed. Such people have a smiling face, a strong heart and a determined mind. They smile at the pain because their eyes are cast on the future success not today’s obstacle. They see the success after the hardship so no matter what is thrown at them, they keep moving forward.

 Every dream comes with responsibility and a level of discipline. If you are battling obstacles today, be strong and persevere because overcoming the obstacle is the most important test you need to pass. Be strong because the pain is worth it.
