Treasures in difficult places

Go where you face the possibility of failure. That’s where you learn, where you improve, where you grow stronger.

Go where you feel a little bit of discomfort. That’s where you’ll also feel energized to expand your perspective.

Wade into subjects that interest you but that you don’t understand. Allow curiosity to pull you forward as you accumulate new knowledge and successfully connect it to what you already know.

Embrace something that challenges you. Discover how much your life is enriched by the experiences that result.

Take a small risk and as you endure it, notice the way your confidence ramps up. Put your increasing confidence to increasingly productive and meaningful use.

Great treasures await you in difficult places you’ve been hesitant to go. Steadily, mindfully, teach yourself to navigate those places, and make the treasures your own.

— Ralph Marston
