Struggle : Valley or Bridge

Struggle : Valley or Bridge?

Everybody wants to be a success. Therefore everyone has to write his story of success. The normal stories are written after the incident happens. But the story of success has to be written in advance and accordingly one expects the things to happen. If the things happen as per plans, one gets energized otherwise he is discouraged. When consistently one is facing such discouragement for a longer period, he starts losing patience. Let’s call this period of discouragement as struggle. The struggling period varies from person to person. The discouragement can also be an outcome of comparison. When our companion gets success at early stage, probably some people feel uncomfortable. This is simply because we compare only the final outcome and not the struggle behind. Therefore the bottom line of understanding success is that “Compare With The Struggle Behind Someone’s Success And Not The Success Itself”.

Struggle is an integrated part of our life. But, by increasing the speed of efforts one can decrease the period of struggle and can lead towards success at faster pace. Many times we know and even we accept the importance of ‘timely efforts’ but we procrastinate to practise it. The more you are hungry, the faster you eat and digest even tasteless food without any complaints. In similar fashion, we have to have intense hunger of ‘success’ and lesser complaints about ‘struggle’. The hunger can be intense only when there is scarcity of food. Similarly “The Hunger Of Success Can Be Intense Only When There Is Scarcity Of Resources”. Because human mind always run behind the things we don’t have. This automatically stimulates the hunger of success and you become ready for further struggle. It means now the defeat cannot discourage you a lot and you become mature.

Sometimes even small and trivial defeats may create substantial damage in our lives. But the indication of maturity is that “You Should Learn To Enjoy Even Small Successes And Digest Large Defeats”. For that we should learn to celebrate the small achievements. Such celebrations are laying the stepping stones for even bigger achievements. Every time we succeed, we gather some confidence. Ultimately It Is The Increase In Confidence Level That Matters A Lot, As It Is The Key Factor Responsible To All Big Success Stories. When you positively feel that you can accomplish the task, the chances of achieving the target increase significantly. On the contrary, if there is lack of confidence, either the magnitude of success reduces drastically or it may lead to failure too.     

“The Defeats Are Like Dogs Barking At An Elephant”. Now it is the call of an elephant whether to run behind the dog or to ignore it. Obviously it is worth ignoring. It is you who are making the defeats stronger by not ignoring them. Rather we should try to magnify the enjoyment of small successes as it acts as a booster for enthusiasm. Therefore let us not run away from the struggle because Struggle Strengthens You. Habit of struggling should be developed because daily we are facing so many situations of defeats. Thus struggle should become the bridge which can lead you from defeat to success by crossing the flow of negative thoughts. Wish you all “Happy Struggling”.
