What mindset shifts can transform struggle into strength?
What if the things you want most aren't really what you need? In fact, what if your struggle, pain, sadness, and despair, the very things you're hoping and praying go away are in and of themselves the gift, the miracle, because they are messengers bringing you what you could never have obtained otherwise. My friend Logan sent me a note the other day, quoting letter five of letters to Malcolm, chiefly on prayer from C.S. Lewis. The voice note basically said, Eddie, I know you're going to love this. And he was right. I was floored, so moved that I couldn't help but pass it along to some friends. And now I want to share it with you. So, in the same vein as Michael Scott from The Office writing on the whiteboard, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, Wayne Gretzky-Michael Scott, I'm going to quote my pal Logan quoting C.S.
Lewis.
How can pain and hardship serve as valuable lessons?
Lewis said, if God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where would I be now? He then essentially implies that perhaps the prayers that are not answered end up giving us more than the ones that are. That maybe our greatest opportunities come from battling through our difficulties, from seeking to find the value in hardship rather than wishing the hardship away. So it's not that we shouldn't be praying, It's that perhaps we should be asking for not shortcuts or a shelter from the chaos of life, but the wisdom to identify life's necessary lessons. And oh man, what a beautiful reflection. What if we stopped praying for the painful circumstances to be taken away and instead asked what he wants us to get out of them?
It's not, please take the storm away. It's where can I unveil strength amidst the storm I didn't even know I had? Where is the value dispersed amongst this valley of despair I find myself navigating? Part of life is understanding that quote-unquote misfortune is unavoidable. But along with that is understanding that lives are changed and fortunes are made when we are pushed to our max, when we are tired, lonely, scared, defeated, unsure. See, these are the things that teach us to gather ourselves and rebuild stronger, like muscle breaking down to grow back greater than before. You can pray to be dropped at the end of a 10-mile run, But how self-defeating, right?
What does it mean to seek wisdom in life's challenges?
The substance is the journey. It's hurting and finding a way to go on. It's doubting whether you can hit your target and learning to trust yourself. It's running by people on the beach, beer in hand, relaxing, and knowing that in this moment you chose to be different. How insane to pray those things away. They are the miracles. It's asking to skip the movie and arrive at the credits. To skip the book and wake up when the story is resolved and it's time to place it back on the shelf. Our power is derived from our pain, our discomfort. So perhaps when going through it, we remind ourselves what it will all come to mean. We revisit the fact that just because the value appears invisible through the storm, doesn't mean it's not there.
We just tend to see it later, in the rear view, when the dark clouds are behind us, when the turbulence has died down, and we can now reflect on what stares back in the mirror. So here's to reframing those stories we tell. to not seek to wish away the obstacles, but to seek guidance, understanding, and wisdom in getting from them that which makes life worth living. Here's to going where most don't dare go in order to emerge with what most don't have.
How do we redefine our relationship with obstacles?
Here's to living life with eyes open, to understanding in our despair exists the seed that will become our greatness, our joy, and our triumph. Change the way you see the dragons of life, and you will simultaneously, with each swing of the sword, become capable of slaying them.
I saw a rabbit again today. Wow, a rabbit. Groundbreaking.
Okay, you laugh, but it means something to me. Every time I'm on the verge of doubt, I swear one shows up. It's quiet, simple. But in that moment, I know. I know I'm on the right path. The right path? Dude, you've been wandering for years. Call it what it is.
