Whatever you need to make for excellent living has already been deposited inside you but you need to give it expressions. In every apple, there is apple juice but without squeezing the apple, the juice cannot be gotten. In the same way, there are certain conditions you need to pass through in order for your shine to emerge. Greatness will always come at certain costs.

Gold is very valuable and attractive to people and also has a very shiny lustre but if you see the crude unrefined gold, there will be no beauty that anyone should desire it. However, after passing through intense and fiery heat and hammering, it will come out very beautiful. The challenges that confront you have one purpose, to refine you and unleash the best in you.

If you see athletes training, you may mistake it for torture but what they are doing is to prepare themselves for the championship in view. Without passing through the stress of training, they may not attain the victory they require. This is why it has always been said times and again that; for you to get the prize, there must be certain prices to pay.

Success is not delivered to people from limbo, neither is it conferred or inherited. That you name is "success" does not automatically mean you have gotten a sure pass to success - you still have your price to pay. Anyone that tells you that the road to success will be smooth and void of challenges is not being sincere to you. The earlier you know that you will be met with challenges on your way to success, the better you will brace up to confront the challenges.

For someone to aim to move from one class to another, they must also work to pass the tests that will qualify them to move. This is because, for you to change level, you must prove that you are ready to take on the "devils" associated with the next level by passing the tests in your current level. Do not wish for challenges not to meet you, only brace up to meet them. It is in challenging and overcoming your challenges that excellence beckons.
