"Where there is no struggle, there is no strength." - Oprah
NEVER EVER THOUGHT I WOULD QUOTE OPRAH. BUT THERE IT IS.
She should of gone on to explain that struggle breeds strength in the few - but for most, struggle creates doubt and despair. Of course, her point is also that there are people that never have had to struggle, thanks to wealthy parents, trusts funds, etc. Or, there are those that would rather wait out their days in a cubicle at a 9 to 5 type job than to take the kinds of risks that might lead to struggle. Either way, they likely won't know if they can overcome struggles via internal strength.
Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.
