The path to greatness is filled with challenges

In order to know who you truly are and what you are capable of achieving life has to test you.  If everything ran smoothly and worked out just fine you never get the chance to be challenged. So every now and again life will bless you with a situation, event or person who you would really rather not handle and instead of looking at it as yet ANOTHER thing to deal with, see if you can find the opportunity.

Being in debt has been a really hard lesson for me and I know I put myself there and I can get myself out of it but first i had to learn some serious lessons about how I handle and mis-use money.  Also the simple act of spending more than I was earning with the help of credit cards put me in a really bad financial position once the recession hit and training contracts began to be cancelled.

Still, as I dig myself out of that situation and turn it around I can look back with hindsight and I know I never want it to be any other way because it taught me a few things about myself:

1.  I can survive on very little money and all the things I think I need really are not necessary

2.  That every time it came to crunch time and I REALLY needed to pay a bill or sort out a financial situation the money always – and I do mean ALWAYS turned up.

3.  That nothing is ever too hard to handle no matter how difficult it may seem at the time.

4.  When it comes to work I really do need to focus on building a bigger income using the internet because it was only thanks to the work I do online that I survived when my regular contracts were cancelled.

Greatness isn’t about being uplifted and positive 24/7 – not for me anyway. My path to greatness has more to do with how I handle life on a day to day basis, whether I can still practise gratitude and appreciation no matter what life throws at me and that no matter how bad things get there are people around who love me and will help out as long as I ask!

The path to greatness is filled with challenges  – rather than be afraid of that embrace it and be ready to take them on.
