“A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.”

• Henry Kissenger

Extraordinary character is built through extraordinary hardships.

You cannot achieve the end result of greatness without being forged through the fire. 

They work hand in hand.

Understand this and you will appreciate the struggles, knowing deep down that a new and improved version of yourself is unlocking. 

We all want to avoid suffering. We also want to be our best selves. 

Understand that the suffering is needed to develop us into our best selves.

Appreciate the darkness. Be grateful that you’ve been chosen for greatness.

Greatness can only be achieved through enduring the darkness until you emerge into the light better than before.
