Sometimes, setbacks come as big plunges. I have noticed so many times that people are only rewarded with their dreams after they have gone through one of these huge plunges.
If you study the life stories of Sylvester Stallone, Richard Branson, Soichiro Honda and Donald Trump, the pinnacle of their success came only after (and sometimes as a result of) some huge setbacks.
There are always going to be times in our lives when we seem to be put to the ultimate test. These are times when life seems really unfair. We put in all the work, only to see everything flop. We earn everything only to lose everything.
Some people allow these experiences to destroy their dreams forever. People who make their achievements a living example are those who allow disasters to make them stronger and propel them even faster to their goals.
In an earlier chapter we saw how Donald Trump went through a near brush with bankruptcy, allowing himself to regain his focus to make over $3 billion in the following three years.
Well, Soichiro Honda had his entire factory bombed twice during World War II, then flattened by an earthquake after rebuilding it for the second time. After weathering these two blows, the Honda corporation was paralyzed by a fuel shortage in post-war Japan. Despite all these ‘unfair’ blows that life gave Honda, he managed to build the Honda corporation into one of the major transportation companies in the world today.
I believe that failures and setbacks are there to teach us certain lessons. Important lessons that, unless we learn, we will never get to the next level necessary for us to reach our dreams.
I also believe that life throws failures at us to test our level of commitment.
If we are truly committed, we will be rewarded with our dreams come true. Many people fail this test of commitment, and that is why they never get what they dream of.
