The journey from struggle to strength is a testament to the power of human spirit! As said by Napoleon Hill,” There shall not be success and strength without a fair share of struggles. As rightly said in the Holy Quran in Surah Al Ankabut, “As for those who struggle in our cause, we will surely guide them along our way, And Allah is surely with the good-doers. And indeed with hardship [will be] ease.” In our life without struggles, pain, we can’t know the value of its opposites like success, pleasure, etc. No one on this planet has achieved something without holding the hand of struggles. And on the point of struggles whatever life has brought to us are all pre-written, its evidence from Almighty Allah (SWT), that success is following your way.
All we need is to set a goal and work immensely and tremendously hard to achieve that and without an objective a person is just like a sailor who doesn’t know his destination. Struggles teach us how to overcome any situation, and how to convert your weaknesses into your strengths. Sometimes for achieving something we have to leave many things behind and that is the stage where your struggles turn into your strengths and whatever this phase of struggle teaches you is beyond the books and imagination.
The best revenge is becoming the best version of yourself, getting success and happiness, and loving yourself the best way you can. But never forget how much pain you’ve suffered and how many times you’ve picked yourself up every time you were abandoned when you were at your worst. Never forget how many times you’ve begged people to at least treat you with kindness. The best revenge is becoming the person they said you would never be, to prove to them how capable and unstoppable you are of becoming successful person.
Remember that you are a high-valued person who is capable to do many great things. Be patient and mostly have ‘Tawakul’ that tables will turn, all you have to do is to deal with every hurdle that comes on your way, as the path of success is never going to be straight. Let yourself grow everyday and show to world what you’re capable of and that you’re no longer the same person people used to know.
Most of the times people treat you as per their needs and benefits and there are very few people who actually care about you. Always look on them whenever you feel low and make yourself understand that these very few people are special ones who are waiting for your success and give those a slap of success who talked negative and made you feel worse when you needed an immense care. Have Faith, tawakul, and trust on Almighty Allah (SWT) and see how He will turn every hardship into ease and every step closer to success.
