Life Is About Struggles

Everyone of us comes into life bearing the responsibility to struggle. Each of us has our own struggles we deal with, the struggles we have always look much harder to us than anyone else. Some of us have to deal with the struggle of poverty, other of us have to deal with the struggle of wealth. Each are different struggles but each in the end are a struggle. Neither the rich man nor the poor man will be able to overcome their struggles, until they recognize the need to struggle both will be poor. The lame man has his struggles and the whole man has his struggles. Until they look beyond their own struggles they will both be handicapped.
Struggles are an integral part of growth. The butterfly that does not struggle out of it's cocoon will either die inside or it will be crippled, for it gets its strength from struggling into this world. As we face our challenges in life we have to ask ourselves if we are looking too closely at our struggles instead of  looking past them.
The freedom to succeed requires a struggle. Life is hard, it is whether we are willing to struggle or not that will determine whether we have the strength to become who we are intended to become.
To let a weed grow requires no struggle, but their is no pleasing fruit either. That which we plant and struggle to grow bares fruit that is worthy enough to give us nourishment.
