Have you notice that all successful people are successful because they are work hard for it? It is not because they are lucky. To build a successful business empire you have to face endless problems. Every hour there are successful or failed business deals. Do you think Bill Gates built his Windows Empire overnight? I beg to defer.

Let me talk about the famous story of Thomas Edison. His creation of the light bulb was not a magical thing that he created by chance. He took not 100 or 1000 attempts but 10,000 attempts to create the light bulb. Something that we all have forgotten or taken for granted. Every failed attempt was taken as a lesson to be learn. As Thomas Edison said, he learn 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb work. He persevered and moved on to do what he believe he can do and eventually made it.

Let's view life in a different angle. Why do we need to embrace difficulties? You may say so that we learn. So that you can avoid the same mistakes from repeating again. So that you become wiser and grow. Take it as the Universe's or God's way of teaching you to be wiser so that you can achieve what you set off to do.

Imagine you are playing a game of World of Warcraft (WOW) or any other game that has experiences and leveling. In order to reach to a higher level in the game, you need to attain a certain amount of experience before you can attempt a mission of a higher level. Coincidentally, it is the same as life. In order for you to work towards your goals/dreams in life, you need to be armed with sufficient experience to do what you want. Example, running a Starbucks Chain. The boss of Starbucks has gone through tons of problems before reaching where it is today.

Even today, although it is a successful coffee chain, it still has its own issues to handle like manpower, rental, location, coffee prices etc. As more outlets are added, the problems increases. Very similar to a quote Spiderman said, "Great Powers comes with Great Responsibilities."

As Thomas Carlyle said: The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping stone in the pathway of the strong.

Remember there is nothing you cannot do. And every obstacle is an opportunity for growth and your future success.
