The Importance of Life Challenges

Sunny days are preferable b.u.t rain is sure to come. And this is life in it's essence. You'd get consecutive days of smooth sailing, work/school, gym, movies, family, etc. Then..."BOOM!" Fired from work. The company is downsizing. Death in the family. Divorce/separating. Evicted from your house/apartment. Life could change drastically, for better or worst. For this build, let's use a worst case scenario. This is where your resolve comes into play. You know, we can "preach" positivity, how mentally strong we are, how we adjust in hard times, how we perform better in crunch time.....yea, yea. That shit sounds good as if we're at an Anthony Robbins seminar. In real life, people tend to fold. Buckle. Collapse. Depending on the scenario, it maybe too overwhelming. However cliche it may sound, if you can forge through the pain/turmoil, this is the true essence of "STANDING FIRM" on you square. Now by no means am I simplifying it, this maybe the most difficult shit you have to do. B.u.t what is the alternative? To lay down? To concede and roll up and die? To cash yo' chips in? Game over?.... Now cipher!!! As long as I'm breathing, "to give up" IS NOT AN OPTION! This brings me to the knowledge knowledge degree in the 1-40, when it ask," would you sit up @ home and WAIT on a mystery God for food?" The word "wait" is my focal point. Waiting is to be stagnate. Immobile. Not producing. We can not and should not wait even in the most unfavorable times. The most challenging times (should in most cases) manifest action. Performing in tough times build character and confidence. Without these challenges, we'll never know how strong (or weak) our resolve is.
