Victory and Struggle
A few weeks ago we watched the wrestling movie Legendary. It wasn’t the most awesomely inspirational movie ever, but the ending struck me as an important life lesson. We don’t always come out victorious… succeed at everything we try… or win every battle/race.
But isn’t life just like that… that we’re not in this to be perfect here on earth. Yes, we try and keep on moving onward. But most of the time it’s the STRUGGLE that builds CHARACTER. We’re here discovering our potential as a child of God. We’re here to bless others lives and discover that mission that only we can accomplish. And therein lies GROWTH.
I love this lesson… okay, don’t love to experience growth and struggle… But I love the realization that even though I’m not the perfect wife, mom, daughter, sister, primary leader… I am BECOMING through all the struggle and occasional accomplishment. It’s a lovely thought that gives me hope that all is not lost with this mama.
Thanks for sharing that! Just what I need it.
Wow, that is a reality based quote for sure! And a good perspective. Life is so like that, and worth it. There is hope for all of us weary strugglers.
