There is a popular saying: “Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life.”

I recall when I gave birth to my first child, after all stress and labour, meeting her for the first time is one of the most angelic moments I’ve ever experienced. 

Can you imagine what would have happened if midway through labour I felt the experience was too much and I didn’t want to go on? I wouldn’t have experienced the joys of motherhood.

Many of us today are going through what I’d say is our labour season. We are in the process of giving birth to greatness. But what is important to understand is that labour is not meant to last forever. Eventually, after all the pain and pushing, you will hold your baby in your arms. 

Perseverance is the mother of success.

I know many of us live in very stressful times. In fact, a survey by pharma dynamics says South Africans’ stress levels have shot up by 56% since start of pandemic. 

But this Monday, the motivation is for you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The challenge is for you to continue moving until you reach the end so that you can see the light.

The challenge is to persevere in the fire, knowing that you are being purified to come out as gold. 

Be willing to remain steadfast under adversity and remember that after the storm, the rainbow will come. 

Every new moment presents an opportunity to be greater than you were yesterday and to work on achieving your goals. 

Although challenges will always be there - some in the form of loss, betrayal, and what seems like failures - know that if you don’t give up, you are bound to achieve greatness.
