Life is not a straight line, it’s more like a roller coaster. Sometimes it can get pretty tough. This is inevitable, but growing through tough times is your choice.
Why grow? According to John C. Maxwell’s research “to reach your potential you must grow. To grow, you must be highly intentional about it.”
While you cannot control external circumstances, you do get to choose the influence that your pain has on you. Hard times make the good times good.
Your self-esteem is like a lid to your potential—you’ll only perform to the level you believe you can. If you think you can’t grow, you won’t even try.
