Adversity can create thankfulness

Look back at your life and look at all the good things you've accomplished or attain throughout it. At the moment of attainment you felt good, you felt secure, you felt just like you would expect to feel when you win. The feeling of winning is so powerful that we'll be willing to do almost about anything for it. Just look at the human race and their past actions. Those actions vary from angel like to devil like, good... and bad....

From the person who picks up a gun and a mask and decides to rob a bank, to the person who picks up his or her running shoes and decides they want to participate and finish a marathon so they go out and train everyday. The decisions of these individuals are different but the goal is the same. The robber really doesn't want tge money, he wants the feeling of winning the money will give him.

The runner does not really want to finish a marathon he or she wants the feeling finishing the marathon will give her. And in both cases winning is the goal.  They both also have another similarity. And that is they both would prefer that those actions needed to get to their goal would be different, bottom line they don't like it. But they know that is what they have to do. Whether they are right or wrong actions is irrelevant, all they care about is the feeling and when that feeling is sooo desired they will do anything to attain it.

You yourself most likely is not a bank robber, and may or not be a runner. But you do like winning. Look back at your wins of life (we all have them). Why did they feel so good? Could it be that it was the adversity you had to go through to achieve that win? Would it even feel that good without that struggle you had to go through, because YOU HAD to go through it. No good thing in this life is attained without some challenge, is frankly impossible.

The river needs the current to push it for it to stay nice. If it were to just stand still then all kinds of pest and odors and mold would start to build up. Think about it. We need challenge in our lives for us to stay fresh and clean and beautiful. Because is that adversity that makes us move forward without it we probably would turn into a non productive self destroying society. Without adversity we would probably not even be here at all, we would be EXTINCT!

So next time you find yourself with a challenge instead of getting worried, depressed, fearful, be thankful and grateful because something magical is about to happen. Get excited. This is what super successful people do that is why they are at that level and that is why in that level there are just a small amount of individuals. Become that winner you are by following this concept and thrive for what you want.
