Going Into The Wind

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes
off against the wind, not with it."
- Henry Ford
(1863-1947) Innovator/Businessman

It is safe to say that every one of us have had those days when we feel like we are walking up hill, against the wind, in the snow, bare foot.  This is especially true when you are working hard to achieve your dreams.  You could be starting a new business, beginning a new position, writing a new book or just facing the challenges of the day.  Whatever it is that is making you feel that you are fighting a losing battle, take heart, anyone who has achieved success in life has also faced this problem.

                These trials and struggles you have gone through are not there to cause you pain or to punish you somehow.  They are just a part of the success process.  It is in the struggles that you learn.  It is when you fight the battles that you become more skilled and able to take on the next one.  In time, you start to see that you could have never achieved all you have done if it had not been that you were prepared through the struggles you faced.

                I know that in the mist of the fight, to say, “This is all for the good” means very little.  However, that is the truth.  You can learn more and achieve more from that learning through struggles than you can from ease.  It is in the tough times of life, the times when you feel you are pushing against the wind that success if won.  And it is won.  Success is never just given to us or presented just because we deserve it.  Success only comes to those who will work hard to achieve it.  Success is a victory – and a sweet victory it is.
