The most successful people in life are not the ones who have had everything go their way. The most successful people in life are those who have experienced some of the most turbulent times imaginable. While they may not ever reveal it, they have been to hell and back, fought an uphill battle of life tooth and nail, and found themselves triumphant over it all because of the decision they made to never give up.

Real success – be it personal or professional – very rarely comes without a price. Yet with determination and perseverance, the end result always yields rewards far greater than ever imagined.
Roses Come With Thorns
Just think of the rose flower. As beautiful as it is when it blooms, it still has thorns. It is impossible for roses to grow without them. And while they can cause pain, they do not take away from the flower’s ability to grow, or its beauty. Best of all, thorns can always be cut away from it.
Roses Come With Thorns
If you are going through some tough times right now, find encouragement in the rose flower. Remember that similar to the rose, your journey to success will have its share of ‘painful things.’ But also remember those things will not hinder your life from ‘blossoming’ into its destined beauty. You have the power to manage or (if needed) eliminate the thorns, and grow into every seed of success that your heart and hand can hold.
