What Doesn't Kill You

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
I've had my fair share of times when I've complained about my struggles, but almost always I am thankful for everything I have gone through when I reflect afterwards. For these have built a level of strength that I would have never known otherwise. Hardship has a way of altering us for the better in a way no other method can. Our trials reveal our true character and help us to get intimately acquainted with who we really are. This is an unmatched place of power once you pass through the fires of life. It makes us prioritize, removes superficiality, and the bull crap that accumulates in our hearts/minds over the course of time. If you are in a struggle now, rest assured it will change for the better. Speak good over your life, your future, and those that you are responsible for. Keep your mind on the right track and head in the direction you know you are supposed to go. These difficulties are not meant to kill you, rather they are meant to bring forth the treasure that is hidden inside of you.

Feed Your Fire

Do something everyday to feed your passion. You should always be perfecting your craft in one way or another. We get bored when we just sit on our gifts and the things we truly want to do in life. Don't let busyness totally eradicate your time. Good things happen when we consistently dedicate ourselves to what fires us up in life. You may only be able to give it 15 minutes a day. That 15 minutes will make a world of difference overtime if you stick with it.

Sometimes All It Takes Is A Spark

Sometimes all it takes to start a good fire is a spark. Yet sometimes a spark is one of the hardest things to create or obtain in a cold and damp environment. That's when the persistence of the "spark starter" must be unwavering. No matter how long it takes, how many setbacks, disappointments, or let downs, keep rubbing those twigs together until you get the heat that you need to blaze a brand new trail in your world. That spark may be the very thing that changes your entire landscape.
