“The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.”

• John Ruskin

It’s only as we get older do we realize that the gift of struggle is spiritual growth.

We may acquire things as a result of our success, but none can compare to the construction in character. 

The lessons we learn, the insights we gain, the knowledge we apply are all priceless gifts that we gain from the pain. 

We must appreciate our journey and all of its ups and downs, for we learn more in the valleys than on the peaks.
