Through The Fire

It is common knowledge that no one enjoys walking through pain; it is the most uncomfortable season in people’s lives.

There is no success story without seasons of pain, failure, inadequacy, embarrassment, shame, and difficulties.

When a journey becomes too difficult, we back down. For instance, people who have lost a tremendous amount of weight would tell you how hard it was for them to start and keep going. It is the same for people who start their lives in a different city or begin a new career.

The cycle of failing at every step of trying something new can be exhausting. The patience to let the new grow and form into something valuable can be tiring.

Sometimes we start something and don't have an idea of the whole picture; it sometimes feels like we are wasting our time, and nothing will come out of it.

But we all know the solutions or answers to these problems. We hear about how we must keep pushing through. It is talked about in every article out there. Motivational speakers talk about it, and sometimes it's infuriating to hear about it all the time.

Painfully, no matter how cliché it sounds, it's true.
