If you are feeling pain, difficulties, uncertainties, and helpless. If you are feeling down, lost, weak, and hopeless. Know that you have reached a place where many of the successful men and women of this world have been to before.

Life is a journey. Everyone journeys through life and everyone arrives at places where they will be challenged. It is at these places where champions are made. It is at these places where ordinary folks become heroes. It is at these places where you get the opportunity to take stock of your journey, make adjustments, and go on trotting again on the road called life; towards greater things. These places are like boot camps or gymnasium. These places are where you go to build your muscles. These places are where you go to build your mind. These places are where you go to prepare for the next leg or next part of your journey.

So, if you are feeling pain, difficulties, uncertainties, and helpless. If you are feeling down, lost, weak, and hopeless. Know this. Remember this. Understand this. You are now undergoing a challenge, a training, a self building process that you’ve come upon on your journey called life. No matter the pain, no matter the adversities, no matter how tough; they are all there to build you. You will emerge stronger. You will emerge tougher. You will emerge ready for the next leg of your journey; a journey to greater things.

During this training of yours always remember… No matter how hard your “trainer” hits you, push yourself off the ground and stand right back up. No matter how tired the training gets, grab on to something and stand back up. No matter how weak you may feel, muster every ounce of strength, and stand back up. Every time you stand up you become better. Every time you stand up you become stronger. Every time you stand up you become tougher. As long as you stand up you will emerge the winner.
