James 1:2-4: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” Overcoming obstacles gives you the muscle for success. You have to overcome a lot of different obstacles to be able to get to where you want to be successful. Life will throw a lot of different curve-balls at you and you just have to push through it.
