One benefit of an extended period of struggle is that you are forced to have a greater perspective about your situation. Prolonged trials cause you to look deeper within and realize that perhaps it’s not your circumstances, or other people, or that opportunity you just didn’t get, or God just not looking out for you, but it’s YOU. It’s a root cause, something deep within you that you haven’t identified yet that has you losing. The quicker you can identify that root cause, the quicker you can grow and finally start winning.
