With Merit, You Can Bear It

Look at your position in life right now.

Did it all arrive by good luck or bad misfortune?
Did it arrive due to the grace of God or your face on the grindstone?
Were you the creator or the victim?

The people who achieve their biggest desires believe they are the creator of circumstance.
They thank God of course, because without his many blessings, nothing is possible.
But they take responsibility for their life circumstances – good or bad.

With this thinking, if “bad” happens, the achiever knows that because he played a role in that outcome, he has the power to survive, adapt, change, learn and grow.
He’s in charge.
Can change his thinking.
Find better information.
Develop a new skill.
Take any new action.

Adversity forces growth.

Ironically, following dreams causes adversity.

The bigger the dream, the bigger the person you need to become to earn it.
Becoming “bigger” is painful.
Like building muscle requires running miles or lifting weights, becoming a bigger person requires stretching past your current limitations.

Victims chafe against adversity, forgetting they somehow attracted it.
Creators embrace it, knowing it’s required to achieve that big dream.

Merit.
You get what you earn.
Those who achieve their biggest desires realize the reward isn’t gaining the desire.

The reward is becoming the bigger person who merits the reward.

Growth is an asset that no one can take away.
