Your Biggest Weakness could be your Greatest Strength - Unknown Author

You are still treading water – but you’re starting to feel like you might sink at any time. And you are really, really afraid of falling into the depth of darkness – depression, exhaustion or both. And on top of it all – you feel so incredibly, incredibly alone.

I don’t believe in a good life DESPITE of adversity – be it mental illness, trauma, disability, poverty, physical illness or anything else.

I believe in greatness BECAUSE of it.

Your circumstance then – the adversity that you have been (and may still be) going through – isn’t something that prohibits your greatness, but something that enhances it.

A catalyst.

Once you make this connection, it really will set you free. Realizing that the hard time you are going through is there to push you into your greatness means that you don’t have to make it go away. It’s not there to hurt or inhibit you. It’s there to help you.

This doesn’t mean that you should stop getting better, stop working your way through it, stop doing everything in your power to move forward. It just means that you can do it from a place of peace. From a place of love and intention. You are not a victim, you have the power.

It’s important to keep in mind, however, that greatness isn’t the automatic result of adversity. But it can be.
