Success does not come overnight. It is a series of endless challenges and rejections. And, challenges are inevitable — it is an essential part of life. Some may take an entrepreneurial path, while others would want to explore a time off on their own through a gap year. And many take on the academic lane — and this journey is not easy. Hence, Virgil Revish’s inspirational education book prepares you for the opportunities you are bound to take. Moreover, whichever path draws close to your vision, create a plan. Preparedness will take you far.
Your mission is to craft a version of yourself capable of envisioning and performing the beautiful things in life. The excellence necessary in doing so is already within you. However, for the most part, you might think roadblocks may hinder you from achieving the goals you have set for yourself. In hindsight, adversity does not mean weakening your soul. In reality, it prepares you for success, and here is how that happens:
Reshapes You
Transformation happens when you dare to take on the risks presented to you. Numerous tribulations in life have proven to have made you the stronger character you are now. As you continue the journey, your decisions will become wiser. You are more fit to embark on challenges. And so much of your fears will slowly diminish. You will eventually become an evolving resilient force.
Redirects Your Path
They say rejection is a redirection. As far as everyone is fated to failure, rejection is equally predestined. Problems arise along the way; it is part of the process. And sometimes, you dwell on it for too long; it will distract you from your goals. Hence, planning plays a vital role in success — it shifts you back to your vision. It reminds you of where you want to go. And although sometimes you will take a detour to get there, you would still have the same objective — success, happiness, and contentment. For that matter, your redirection did not change your focus; it will only bring you closer to your goal.
Restores Your Truest Self
In life, you encounter multiple events and circumstances that will lead to change. As everyone knows, change is permanent. However your core, values and innate characteristic remains. And some subconscious intrinsic qualities in you will arise — but do not be agitated; that is part of your transformation. As change evolves in you, your true self transpires. And when you have come to encounter such an occurrence, remain true to yourself. Never let anyone force you to only choose what they want from you — instead, choose what you want for yourself. You know what’s best for you, be confident in that!
Helps You Identify What Matters
Everyone has goals—and you among everyone—do not only have one aim but many. Roadblocks, fortunately, help you identify what matters to you. When you encounter a series of hardships, you will learn to filter and prioritize the ones close to your vision. They say, “. . .not all battles are worth fighting.” Thus, learning to choose which struggles are worthy of taking action is necessary. In taking action, it is critical to consider at which stage in life you are at, for your priorities may change over time.
Heightens Your Personal Drive
Confronting numerous difficulties increases your drive to avoid failure. Your personal drive fuels you to success. Without it, you will be doing things in the absence of intention and purpose. Your drive keeps you on the lane to your aspirations in life. It balances your fear of rejection and failure with your hope of achieving success. Hence, it keeps you in the middle, consciously aware of the upcoming steps, taking action one plan at a time. And most times, your drive will direct you to take risks and jump on opportunities. In a cycle, your motivation expands, confident of pursuing the next roadblock.
The key to success is not unilateral. There are countless ways to lead you to that path. Persistence, hard work, strategy, and preparedness are only some of the things you will bring with you. However, as a considerable multifaceted being navigating the world, open yourself to change and transformation. Your evolution will be a continuum — make the most out of it!
The road to success is relentless, but so are you!
