Day 72: On the Value of the Struggle

To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain

ideals — this alone is worth the struggle.

—William Osler

 

68

We fantasize about the day we receive a trophy, cash out, step on the

scales and see the perfect weight, travel to this beautiful place, step into this

new spacious house, or marry that beautiful girl or guy.

The focus is on the success, not the struggle. And it’s understandable

— success is glamorous, memorable, and marketable, while the struggle is

drab, disagreeable, and unattractive for the general public.

Yet, it’s making the effort, struggling, and sticking to your resolutions

that  shapes  you  as  a  person.  Success  is  a  reward  for  having  given  it  your

best, but it’s not always within your control whether and when you get to

enjoy it.

Whenever  you  find  yourself  discouraged  by  your  lack  of  success,

remind  yourself  that  the  process  alone  is  your  reward.  It’s  in  your  hands

whether  you  allow  yourself  to  see  the  rewards  the  struggle  generates  or

ignore  them,  mindlessly  pursing  the  end  result  as  the  sole  indicator  of

success.

I failed numerous times in business. I could have despaired that I had

lost so much time and money, but I hadn’t really failed. I had been true to

my  values  of  pursuing  the  entrepreneurial  life.  I  kept  going,  despite  the

obstacles  I  constantly  encountered  along  the  way.  Over  and  over  again,  I

beat entrepreneurial depression and found it in myself yet again to get back

up and try again.

Eventually  my  efforts  paid  off,  but  even  if  it  had  taken  longer  to  get

the results — or if I had died before reaching them — the struggle would

still have been worth it for the immense changes I underwent on the journey

to pursue my dreams.
