Life never waits for you to be the best version of yourself before it starts showing up. Unexpected expenses, exhausting coworkers, one thing happening after another, but that’s what life does – it happens.
Just like a beautiful wedding cake has to go through some whipping and heat before it becomes a delicious piece of art, we too have to go through some things to become our best selves.
Malcom X said, “There is nothing better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time.” It’s simply part of life’s process to experience adversity. So don’t go through adversities for the sake of surviving another something, life is going to happen anyway, so make it count. There’s a lesson in everything you go through, learn from it and build from it. Growth doesn’t wait for you to get to the best version of yourself – it happens when the grits have hit the fan, the button has been pushed and the smack has been spoken – make it count.
