Its also getting spoon fed constantly by media with representations of what "success" is....whether one believes is versed in the Bible or not...for me it often gets back to Jesus's message about treasures on earth vs treasures in heaven....it does seem we spend a lot of time chasing the wrong treasures...but its damn hard to go against the grain...

Indeed it is. A friend once told me that salmon swim against the current in order to spawn. It is a tough journey and in the end they die, but through the effort, work, dedication, trials and tribulation, they succeed to reach the spawning beds to start the next generation. It is part of their journey as this is part of ours. I do indeed learn much through it all which makes me wiser and stronger. Just as gravity provides the resistance for our body to grow stronger, these situations also provide resistance to help us grow stronger emotionally, mentally and spiritually!
I have learned that "being strong" begins by accepting ones weakness...
