The Value of defeat..... Happy Friday!!!

"You have been disappointed.
You have undergone defeat.
You have felt the great heart within you crushed until it bled.

Take courage -  for these experiences have tempered the spiritual metal of which you are made - they are assets of incomparable value.

Remember too that all of those who succeed in life get off to a bad start -and pass through many  heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive."

The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their "other selves."

How many of us have felt that defeat, that despair, that heartbreaking struggle?

We all have - at some point - to varying degrees and it is important to realize the "value" of having lived through these painful trials and challenges!

Whether you are trying to understand why it happened to you,  or perhaps you are smack dab in the midst of it as we speak, the key is to know that it will pass and that you will come through it stronger and better for it!

There is a true value to struggle and trials, painful as they may be, and understanding that the experience will only serve to make us stronger,  better, and more readily able to cope with anything life throws at us is a very empowering feeling indeed!

Keep your chin up and keep moving forward! 

You are not alone! You are never alone!

Have faith that you are exactly where you are supposed to be at this given moment - forget the past mistakes and errors - and focus on today!

Every minute that passes is a true chance at a fresh start!!  

What are you waiting for???

Stay Strong!
