It is easy to profit from the positive winds and seasons of favour. This does not take any effort. The real challenge in life is to profit from your disappointments. Every disappointment is an appointment with destiny. Every delay does not signal that the journey is over.
It is true that emotions will take their toll. Truly great people are able to get up and keep going even if they are hardest hit. The spirit of greatness is shown in one's ability to rise up and take another short in the midst of challenge and adversity.
I have had my own share of setbacks and disappointments. In fact I face disappointments on a day to day basis, but they are never enough to get me down and make me abandon my dreams. I know that every little blow adds up to something. Every bite of the cherry moves me forward. Every step in the right directions gets me closer to my goal.
Your adversity usually leads you to lonely places where you have to define and redefine many things in life. I like this little poem that I met in my reading:
"To walk down a path where great men have been is an honour itself,
For a few privileged men.
But to blaze one's own trail unequaled to thee;
Is a tribute to greatness that few men shall see."
Committed to your greatness
Milton Kamwendo
