Why Challenges Are Your Initiation To Success
By Anna Johnson on August 27th, 2009When the going gets tough… when everything that could go wrong does go wrong – e.g. your website gets hacked, your computer crashes, you lose all your data, you get hit with a lawsuit, the search engines dump your site, traffic and sales plummet… that’s when you know you’re on the path to greatness.
Big challenges are like initiations along the way to success. The people who give up when presented with obstacles fail the initiation and therefore fail to reach their dreams. Those who persist through the tough times pass their initiation and reap the rewards.
True, none of us knows what how long our initiation will be or when we’ll make it through, but one thing is for sure: that initiation will come. As much as you can, welcome it. This is where you separate yourself from those who don’t have the character and fortitude to keep going. This is where you prove to yourself that you’ve got what it takes to succeed.

Anna,
Excellent post. I couldn’t agree more with that statement. Everyone who is successful faced challenges and tough times. When they got to the other side they only grew even stronger. Anyway great post, short and right on point.
