All successful and well doing men have something in common. Their success is grounded on strength-the foundation upon which they have built their empires and glory.
Even the great Kings and Emperors who were able to hold their Kingdoms and Empires together for substantial number of years had the all important trace of strength. Without strength, success will never be achieved.
If our success is dependent on our strength, would it therefore not be prudent that we clearly understand and acknowledge the source of our strength? After all, without it, we will never realize our desire success.
Despite the importance of strength in achieving success, the very people who are bent on obtaining success always misplace the source of strength. Most of us do not achieve the success we desire because we lack the strength needed to obtain it.
Those who are smart enough to acknowledge the role strength plays in achieving success also focus on the wrong source. Therefore, they are never able to gather the required strength needed to gravitate towards success.
The commonly existing misconception about strength is, many are of the view that our strength comes from winning. I have heard several people saying, ‘they get stronger the more they win or their strength comes from winning’. Wrong… In fact, you somehow get weaker the more you win.
The incongruent relationship between strength and winning was well noted by Mahatma Gandhi who brilliantly captured it as “Strength does not come from winning. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”
This is the greatest secret to gravitate towards success and yet many of us have been getting it wrong. People like Ghandi who got it right had all the success they wanted.
As you start a new day in your life, acknowledge the brawny relationship between hardship and strength and get rid of the fallacy between winning and strength. It is the hardships you go through that will fetch you success and not the winnings you gather.

Thanks Chris for putting a very wide smile of my face with this post….This is very touching because it allows me to concentrate on my better qualities of not being the type to ever give up on what I believe in! I can focus on being strong and keep going as oppose to thinking winning means I have succeded! I know what it is to really hustle…but I don’t so much see it in bad ways because I know the fact that I keep going and pray for the strength you talk of that is what is gonna get me to where I need to go. When I pray I don’t just say God give me such and such a job, I ask and thank him for the strength he gives me to keep going and deal with the rejections because THAT is life and if he can’t deal with the obstacles you wont overcome the hurdles to keep going. Very nice…imma start the day with a warmer feeling that I did yesterday was inflecting pain on my poor BF with my miserable face and moaning to kingdom come lol.
