We learn more about who we are and what we are made of when we go through adversity. Overcoming difficult challenges builds our character. To overcome, we need to learn how to become more resourceful, how to rely on ourselves and who we can trust. We become more resilient, which builds our confidence to know that no matter what, we are going to get through this and be okay.
Many entrepreneurs have said time and time again that they have learned so much more from their struggles than their successes in business. Without struggle, we can’t learn about ourselves or the world around us or appreciate our success when we finally achieve it. In our struggles, we learn what works and what doesn’t. It’s insight we would never have if we didn’t go through the struggle.
Prosperity without adversity can cause us to be ignorant to the world around us. We can begin to lose sight of our own vulnerabilities and the real struggles of others. If we didn’t have to put in blood, sweat and tears to become prosperous, how much can we really appreciate what we have?
