You are worth it. Print

No. 378 / You are worth it.

Every doubt you wrestle with, every pain you endure, every fear you fight, every loss you feel, every heartache you survive, every time you pick yourself back up, every year you spend hoping for something more, every day you spend worrying alone, every moment you spend struggling to succeed… you’re paying for something that can’t be bought. You’re building something no one else can own. You’re earning a stronger, more mature, more whole you. That’s worth everything.

GFDA is the bearer of messages from your own heart. What we say is nothing new, we simply put things in a way that you can’t ignore.

From truth, purpose; from purpose, fulfillment. The truth is that this life is a struggle, it’s a contest. Your purpose is to use up every bit of your potential participating in life. You are called to face a challenge. Accept it with dignity. From contending—perhaps to be injured, certain to be hurt—you will find a respect for yourself that can be attained nowhere else. From enduring the struggle, you will learn the true value of compassion and a proper use of your power.

These things cannot be given, they must be earned. We offer you this, and nothing more: the light of old wisdom to guide your steps, and the fruits of our experience to nourish you on your journey.

Happiness isn’t a reward. Strength isn’t gained without effort. Love isn’t something you get from someone else. Life is made bearable in the bearing of it. The meaning of life reveals itself when you stop looking for it and start living with sincerity. Fulfillment will come at last when you have given all that you have.

We want that for you.
