Happy Monday! 🙌
Let’s cut through the noise to kick off your week.
The truth?
Everyone struggles.
Everyone battles demons you don’t see.
Even the people you think are “winning” right now.
The problem isn’t the struggle. The problem is how we see the struggle.
Perspective isn’t just helpful—it’s everything.
And no one framed this better than Viktor Frankl, Holocaust survivor and author of Man’s Search for Meaning:
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.”
Read that again.
This came from a man who lived for years in hell on Earth!
It hits, doesn’t it?
Most people want comfort. Ease. A tension-free life.
But here’s the brutal truth: comfort doesn’t create character.Â
Struggle does.
That uncomfortable stretch you’re feeling? The challenge that keeps you up at night?
That’s not the enemy—it’s the proving ground.
The tension is the tool that forges resilience, purpose, and meaning.
But only if you shift your lens.
Because the struggle only destroys you if you label it wrong.
If instead, you frame it as the path to a goal worthy of you—it transforms.
So this week, I want to remind you:
Your pain isn’t pointless. Your stress isn’t a setback.
It’s the path to power—if you’re willing to give it purpose.
Turn your tension into fuel.
Because in this life, striving for something worthy is the only real freedom.
Adversity is Your Advantage,
