Your Past Struggle is Your Greatest Asset
A few years ago when I first heard the comment that your struggle is your great asset, I didn’t understand it. I wanted to skip the struggle and wished I could by-pass that part of my life. I wanted to be like “Bewitched” and twinkle my nose and just have this new life and all is perfect.
Life doesn’t happen that way.
Having gone through struggle in my life, I see clearly now how it is my greatest asset.
I think of the struggle a baby bird has to encounter while breaking through it’s shell and developing it’s muscles for survival in the process. If you help it along it won’t survive.
I think of the butterfly breaking through it’s cocoon, developing wing strength it will need to fly.
For me….
I remember back on the determination and shear will power of my intentions to develop the skills it takes to be an entrepreneur.
Even just implementing a new way of thinking can be a struggle because you have to let go of everything your brain has been programmed with through the years to get you to where you are at this point. You are where you are because of your best thinking.
It’s like anything else you want to do in life that’s worth while. You have to be willing to change your thinking and your habits to effect the goal you want. And if you think doing that is a walk in the park, think again!
You must look past that and ask yourself if the personal development journey would be worth it. For me it was because I knew it was the ONLY way to get to the other side of where I was. Read my story to hear the whole deal.
Struggle Does One of Two Things.
1) Breaks you
2) Grows you
You decide what to do with it.
You can stay a victim or decide that you will be a victor.
I vote in favor of YOU!
What do you say?
It’s YOUR decision to rise up or to crawl into a hole.
It’s a decision to press through.
It’s a decision to do whatever it takes to get your stinkin’ thinking out of the way and allow the new and improved “I’m worth it and deserve it darn it!” thoughts take over.

Struggle is Priceless – Learn To Re-frame It
.
When I learned to re-frame the word ‘struggle’ and started viewing challenges as ‘opportunities to grow’, everything changed. Now my mind took what I was going through and turned it into something good.
Struggle will surface in various ways in your business.
– Struggle in believing in yourself.
– Struggle in staying the course when it seems emotionally hard.
– Struggle in facing the ridicule of your dreams and efforts from family and friends when they very people who should be cheering you and supporting you.
– Struggle in getting results from your marketing and re-framing that it’s all part of business development.
– Struggle to accept that you are valuable and have much to offer.
Are You Struggling? It’s Okay.
No matter what you’re going through… or have just come out of… or maybe getting ready to go through… it’s Okay.
You are not defined by your struggles. You have no less value because you are going through stuff. We all go through stuff. It’s part of life.
Do whatever you need to do to get through your struggles and then make a decision that you will share your victory to inspire others. There’s freedom in sharing your story.
Your story of overcoming is your greatest asset… thus your struggle is your greatest asset.
I can’t wait to hear yours.
You are awesome.
You have value.
You matter.
You’re accepted.
Your creator who I call God has a purpose for you
People deserve to know you and hear your story.
Don’t be embarrassed about your struggle.
Don’t be ashamed about your struggle.
You will be a huge inspiration to others when you come out the other side and others will discover that they are not alone, that they are OK and that they still matter because you shared your story with them.
Don’t share your struggle publicly… rather work hard to overcome.. get through it.. then share your testimony.

David Sharp: Your Struggle Is Your Greatest Asset
Co-Founder of Empower Network, David Sharpe says:
Sometimes we let our past keep us from moving forward and stepping into our power. Other times, people try and use our past against us. Here’s what I want you to know…
Your past is not your liability. It’s your greatest asset. It’s what makes you who you are. The experience you have gives you insight to get through challenges, and the mistakes you’ve made gives you humility to ask for help when you need it, and the drive to stay hungry for more knowledge.
This is a video inspired by a young kid named Jesse, the son of one of our affiliates, who like me, has seen and been through his far share of tough times. And even though he could make every excuse in the world to not show up, to not stay hungry, and to let his past keep him down – he’s not.
Press play and enjoy…
