Life is characterized by many challenges and many distractions. Life is a journey _ a journey through the seas. Full of roaring waters and storming moments. If there is anything that can ever stop a man from reaching his goal or desired destination in life it will be distractions.
Someone once asked me a sincered question, and the question was; Why is Life so hard? And without thinking twice I told him, Life is hard because the destiny of every life is great. Every life is ordained for greatness, and greatness cannot be attained without labor and sacrifice. The difficulties of our lives are the necessary path we must thread upon if we must enter into greatness. A man's life is just like gold, and like gold if not refined it can never possess its true value. Many people wants to be as valuable as gold but only few are willing to pass through the refining furnace. Successful people were not burn into success. Men who has a testament of true success has a track record of enduring hardship.
The stormy and roaring sea is not meant to swallow you but to make you strong. Likewise the burning furnace. Refining fire is not meant to consume you but to make your life more precious.
But sadly, what was meant to strengthen us has become a point where many stopped their journey. The challenges of life that were meant to make us stronger has been the reason why many has given up on life.
But I want to announce to you that you are going through a process,
The storm is making you stronger, and the fire is making you more precious. Never give up on life. Don't stop moving. There won't be shipwreck in this your journey, but even if it occurs, you will swim through the oceans of life.
Have you ever imagine how a small seed produce a great tree? The way to life for a seed is death! Before a seed could produce a great product or germinate into a crop it must first die. But after it dies, the result is eminent to all. Our life experience is similar to that of a seed which cannot amount to anything without passing through death.
You are destined for greatness _the storm is making you stronger and the fire is making you more precious. Endure your making process, and some day, the result will be eminent to all.
