All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. Sometimes in an effort to grow we encounter setbacks, difficult situations and difficult people. Know today that these situations are there to test your growth and the passing or the failing will be determined by how you react.
If physical strength and stamina are your goals, your success will be your determination to continue to push through the initial muscle aches and pains to reach your goal. If promotion on the job is your goal, you'll work the extra hours and make the extra effort to the product that you are producing. If family unity is the required outcome you'll make that apology regardless if it is yours to make or not, although doing so may seem frivolous, the desired outcome again is unity.
In all that we do, regardless of the struggles, PERSEVERE and learn to GROW THROUGH IT instead of just going through it!!
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4)
