Monday motivation quote: “Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you” – A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

We’re back to sharing Monday morning motivational quotes from people who have walked the path you’re currently walking, and so know the things you’re going through, to an extent.

One of those things is difficult situations. It doesn’t matter what your career path is or where you currently are in life. All that matters is that you’re a human being with thoughts and desires.

Now that we have acknowledged the presence of something basic as going through difficulty, how do we then overcome it, and more importantly, what does our Monday motivation quote say about it?

Today’s quote is from Avul Pacir Zainulabidin Abdul Kalam, who was an Atomic Scientist and former President of India.

Abdul Kalam had average grades in school but struggled through his difficulties to get into a prestigious college where again missed his chance to become a fighter pilot. He turned his talents to Physics instead and later became an Atomic Scientist.

Based on his experiences on his way to achieving his goals, and even after it, Abdul Kalam has this to say:

“Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you but to help you realise your hidden potential and power. Let difficulties know that you too are difficult.” – Avul Pacir Zainulabidin Abdul Kalam – Atomic Scientist and President of India.

Now, what do we learn about difficulties from this quote? It’s simple.

You cannot avoid difficulties in life, so the best thing to is to understand them and find out how to turn them in your favour. Difficulties always appear in our lives to make us stronger.

If we pay attention, we will notice that we become stronger, smarter, braver, kinder, after we have passed through something that showed us a different side to ourselves.

So, as you work and go about your daily activities today, remember that the difficult things that happen in your life exist to make you better and stronger, serve to make you superhuman.

Don’t cave. Let those problems know that you are up to the task, and you’ll see that as you move forward, you’ll become better equipped to deal with your difficulties in the future.
