The Period of Our Greatest Gain

"The period of greatest gain

in knowledge and experience is

the most difficult period in ones life."

Daiai Lama

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The period of our greatest gain . . . .

May be one of the most challenging and difficult period of our life's. As we gain knowledge we seek new ways to use it, as we do it creates change and stepping away from the security of our comfort zone.

We trade short term difficulty with the change for long term gains from applying our new knowledge.

Adjusting as a result of our past experiences creates an unparalleled opportunity. Our biggest difficulty is to accept the fact that things did not turn out as planned and making the adjustments that are required to move forward successfully.

Short term difficulties are a small price to pay for long term gains.

Leaving our comfort zone can be exhilarating and liberating. Change continues to challenge; attitude delivers directions.

Caring expertise...knowledge for you!

Thank you for this timely reminder. In creating perspective, to the "immediate", we do gain.

Hi Lou, Great post and I couldn't agree more - we do learn and gain the most in our lives by stepping out of our comfort, security zone. Sometimes it takes pain to change things, and to grow.

Change is good and embracing the 'good' and 'not so good' times is part of the wonderful process. I actually don't believe the hardest most challenging time are the only ones that create the greatest growth. I've experienced both and I far prefer the smoother ride.......but that is far more to talk about then what I can do in a comment. Lots of interesting times along the way.....as we say...enjoy it all. Or find a mindset that allows you to do so.

I have always thought that you learn the most when you lose, as painful as it may be.

Success is great, but until you have had to overcome defeat, you have not learned much.

Sports are a great way of teaching kids this powerful life lesson.

Hi Anna

Their are many learning experiences, if we grasp them we have the opportunity to grow.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hi Mark

Overcome defeat can be a outstanding learning experience and your on target because of the pain and the refecting back on what happened and how to change the out come the next time.

Thanks for sharing your insight.
