If you do not become self-aware of how you deal with your problems, your dreams will leave you behind

It's a catch 22 really...jmho...There are those who see a problem and hasten to solve it, instead of letting it meld to full purpose, as a scoby.

Oftentimes, to paraphrase your writing, wise people go through (via perseverance and endurance) the hardships...the inevitable difficulties of life.

Doing so, causes one to emerge completely wiser for outcomes. I will end with an example:

If your business partner betrays you, keep doing the work put before you without denigrating the person who you feel harmed you. Put your energy into learning what wisdom you have gleaned from the experience, more than blaming the person who 'disappointed' you for their actions.

The school of life is a popular phrase; and, I do believe each and every one of us are students of the same throughout the earthly journey.

Peace.
