It comes from the Swahili saying: Life only has meaning in the struggle, so come, let us celebrate the struggle! [but we mean the inner struggle in this case!] Steem on Kim!! (loving your avatar by the way - lovely smile) :)

That is a very interesting saying and I wonder as to its etymology. Celebrating the struggle only makes sense to me when there is also an active working towards resolving whatever is creating the struggle. So, as I do agree with the saying, I like to add a nuance at the end :)
The two sides of the Swahili coin are but one ;)
Externally it means working as a tribe, but I think it works equally well for our own internal soul work ;)
Ah ok that is really cool actually! Like realizing and recognizing the issues or conflicts that may come up, especially when you live with a group of people, and to then "celebrate" the issues in terms of seeing them as a challenge to grow and learn how to work together. Indeed I see that it also works that way in relation to internal struggles.
