The Benefits of Struggling


Greatness and success go hand in hand with overcoming struggle.  A quote from Theodore Roosevelt says it best: “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty…  I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life.  I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

Many successful people have gone through large amounts of sacrifice, pain and ultimate struggle to get where they are, it is an essential part of growth.  To reach your potential and ultimate goals you should rise to the occasion by not taking the easy route.  Some recommendations to get started include:


  •         Seek challenging assignments and difficult goals
  •         Treat negative feedback as a gift
  •         Learn how to remain grounded and centered
  •         Embrace change
