Mind shaping

Difficulties are like a sculptor

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

Seneca

If I gave you an overview of my life thus far, you’d probably feel sorry for me. It’s only natural, and I can relate because I tend to empathize with the misfortunate people around me as well. Although the fact of the matter is, I’m not misfortunate, as some would likely think. I’m incredibly grateful for the problems I’ve faced thus far because I don’t know where I would be without them. For all we know, I could still be living in ignorance had they never happened. Difficulties have helped shape us all and will continue to; don’t hesitate when things get hard.
