In my more than 50 years, I've met way too many people who don't value their personal struggles. No matter how diligently they persevere in the face of one crippling storm after another, rather than feeling pride, somehow, they feel shame. For no good reason, they feel as if slaying the vicious and relentless dragons in their lives, day after day, is not worthy of applause and respect. Instead, they envy those with easier lives, those who haven't even seen a dragon much less slain one. In what sane world would people who have overcome the least feel pride and those who have overcome the most feel shame? This mentality is upside down. It might be difficult to see at the moment, but the adversity in your life is necessary to turn you into something; something strong, something magnificent, something beautiful.
