The Ultimate Goal Is Always Achievable
If you are growing through difficult times— you must learn how to endure pains and suffering. All this don’t kill you. It rather strengthens you physically, emotionally and psychologically.
The greatest achievement anyone would like to have on earth; is to be happy. How?. To enjoy financial independence, a happy marriage, good health, good education, gain respect and have fun.
Now the question is what is preventing you from achieving this ultimate goal?. The list of challenges keeps on increasing. It never ends. Who will help?. There seems to be no one. So what?. Help yourself. Call on God to be your provider, protector, and hope.
It is very possible to achieve any lofty goal you set in your life. You may be growing through hell now; But, remember that is temporal. Refuse to be burned up. Sustaining injuries is normal. Just survive with hope. Eventually, you will achieve your goals.

Growing Through Difficult Times Is Normal
Why do I Say it’s normal to grow through difficult times?. God expects us to sweat before we find something to eat. The most successful persons on earth didn’t have their monies and wealth so easily.
There are myths about people who have gained financial freedom. “They inherited wealth from their parents, they were lucky, born silver spoon in their mouths and blah blah blah.”
If you dare look at things from that angle you would never unearth your talents, potentials and the will power that brings success and happiness.
Although a number of people were born into rich families— it shouldn’t discourage you to think you are from a poor family so you would always be poor. Don’t be mediocre. Lazy people always find excuses for their fears, weaknesses, and aimlessness.
The Choice Is Always Yours
Just like I said earlier; being part of this hectic life is not your choice but what you become is your choice. Don’t tell me you have been growing through difficult times since birth so there is no hope for you in the future. Oh uh… If you truly believe there is no hope for you then you shouldn’t be alive by now. It is pretty simple because; it is the dead that has no hope.
