Hardship is an avenue to train your stamina.
The subtle approach the devil uses is to make you cut down on your ambition and settle for less.
Hardship, delayed gratification, discipline builds resilience in us.
Builds total dependence on God.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
You’re not the only one facing a tough time.
You’re not the first neither would you be the last person to face a tough time.
Let the tough time complete it’s process!
Count it all joy!
– Pope

You see that delulu of working for 5-10 years to build wealth, then retire at 30-35 and travel the world? Throw that rubbish thought away. Guess who is 93 and 68 and still working? Warren Buffet and Bill Gate respectively. You might need to have a talk with yourself!...
