I do not believe that I am delusional when believing that during those periods when life appears unfair, and we are faced with overwhelming trials that attempt to overwhelm us we should despair at ever having tried to succeed in rising to those challenges, for it is in our attempts to overcome our easy choice to surrender to our fear of failure that we succeed whatever the result.
Believing that we can triumph over adversity seeds success born out of our efforts.
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;~Romans 5:3-4
Hardship can equip the least prepared for an extraordinary future filled with a growing awareness that our journey of self discovery is never one lacking adventure filled with trials that grow the fainthearted into a hero forged out of adversity's trials.
Our journey of determination, patience, and virtue rewards the reticent explorer with growing strength, and the awareness that despite our reluctance to take the next step, at our side a voice whispers into our ear encouraging us to take that leap in faith in The One who merely invites us to trust Him.
The human person says show me, and I'll trust you.
God says trust me, and I'll show you.
