No one wants to struggle in life. No one. I bet you that if there was an antidote to get out of struggling, then most of us would take it.
Struggling means that for a moment of our lives we become numb. It means we have to face the harsh realities of the world. It means we have to withstand something that we don’t want in our lives. It means we have to find a way, an inner strength within ourselves to overcome what is that we are enduring. Struggling is a brutal awakening to being human and all of our inadequacies. Clearly, no one would want to struggle, if given the choice.
But lately I’ve been thinking, should we be more open to accepting the struggles we face, instead of having all kinds of negative emotions about them?
Crazy thought, I know.
”
However, what if struggling was the only way in which we could help someone else? What if our struggles were the keys to unlocking our purpose? Our destiny?”
And what if the struggles we endure happen so that we could help many people who suffering in silence? For example, maybe from overcoming our struggling, we can inspire those who are silently suffering to overcome theirs?
The funny thing is, I’ve learned our struggles are tailor-made. They are not random at all. I believe that each of us deals with certain struggles, because they are connected to our story. They are connected to how we can use our lives and overcomings to help someone who we may meet going through the exact same thing. The suffering we deal with does not have to go in vain. Instead, it can be used for a greater purpose that’s bigger than ourselves. Bigger than what we may see in that moment in which we are going through that particular struggle.
Do you see how powerful our struggles can be? The very things that many of us hate can be the very tools used to help us fulfill our purpose and make a difference in the world.
I’ve been really meditating on this a lot lately. It’s interesting that many of us are quick to pity ourselves when something happens to us. We cry out the phrases, “Why me? Why is this happening to me?” But I ask you: Why not you? Why not you for this particular struggle? I mean, who would you recommend instead?
”
Understand, it is our struggles that can be used as a tool to heal and empower others.”
After you overcome your struggles (because you will), you can later use your “test” as a testimony to share with someone what you’ve learned and encourage them. It is through our struggles that we can gain empathy, build resilience, and change lives.
