Quote of the day:
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” -- Helen Keller
Consider:
When life is just plain hard, remember you are in the crafting process.
Life is like a sculptor and you are like the marble. A block of marble may not look like much or be worth much in its rough form, but it has potential. It takes quite a bit of hammering and chiseling to create a thing of beauty from that piece of rock. The chisel is sharp, the blows are hard, and it's not an altogether pleasant process for the marble, but the finished product is worth it.
No one benefits much from easy times. Such times are enjoyable and everyone wishes they could last forever, but they don't contribute much to one's character. So when troubles come into your life, don't be discouraged or resentful. Instead, know that there is a plan and a reason that is crafting you into a thing of beauty.
It is hard to imagine this when you are a work in progress. But if you can endure the crafting process, when the sculptor's work is done, you will behold and be pleased with the result—a masterpiece, the thing of beauty that is your life.
Wishing you all the best,
