The best employer is a challenging life, it pays well more than any other.

A challenging life is unpredictable, full of uncertainties. It can fire you at any moment, it can announce your promotion when you least expect it. That’s why many employees there tender in their resignations day in day out.

A challenging life does not seek your defeat. It is the knock of greatness at your door, the voices of so many extraordinary individuals that have lived before you calling, beckoning you to rise up and be much more than you are now.

If you’re patient, you’ll soon learn that there is some predictability about the uncertainties, something in the unpleasant situations that can help forge a stronger you, something in the difficulties you can milk to your advantage. Like a sailor, you get used to the storms, get better at sailing through them to destinations many don’t have the skill to reach.

A challenging life is not one in which you’re constantly suffering as a result of poor planning and for not making provisions for the future. It’s one in which you’re ready to sacrifice and pay the price, no matter what it takes, to be a better man, a better woman tomorrow.

Life is designed to reward those who take the rough roads of challenging uncertainties, there is a lot to gain from the journey, a lot of memories to look back on and cherish. It is a good thing to not gamble with one’s resources, to make calculated moves, to research diligently before investing.

But there comes a time, there’s no time nor resource to gamble on,  just faith and a few steps forward in the dark.
