Hello everyone, I am the Fitness Kit and you are watching a quote of the day.
In this series I talk about a quote, at the end I'll give you a key takeaway about something from
the quote that you can use to change and improve your daily life. The quote today, there's actually
an interesting backstory for it, is from this book called The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness.
So it's from, this book is filled with stories and this story is from China and it's about a
man in a village who finds bad things and good things and good things and bad things. So that
might sound a little complicated but this quote will hopefully simplify it. So it might seem out
of context but I hope you get the gist of it. So it is, what seems like a curse may be a blessing.
So it's short and snappy and it's just saying some curses may be blessings in disguise.
So I find this example, that there's an example just about a person who grows up in poverty.
So many people, they think that's a curse, right? They think, oh you know, they don't have enough
money, they're homeless, their parents an alcoholic, just something, they have these big
these big problems, right? And most people, they definitely wouldn't want that. But the good thing
that comes out of it, what is a blessing in disguise, a blessing in the curse, is that they
develop, and a lot of people coming out of poverty, they develop an insane work ethic and just a really
deep drive for success because they know what the bad ends like and they don't want
that life to be for their kids, for their family, or to themselves. So of course there's also a
blessings hidden in curses, but there are also curses hidden in blessings. So I find this example
is prevalent in the typical, you know, rich kids story. So if there's a really rich person,
right, they apparently have drawn the lucky slot in life. They're really lucky, they have all this
money, their parents are great, they have a huge house, all the newest technology, all this stuff,
right? But then there's a curse in that because they don't need to work for anything.
And then they don't feel fulfilled, they feel unhappy, they have nothing to do, they spend money,
that's all they do, they don't work for anything. And that in the end will lead for an unhappy and
unfulfilling life. And a lot of people, for that, that is their curse. That's the big curse in their
life that is from the outside, looks like a blessing. So the point of this, I want to focus
more on the thing that says that there's a curse, or there's a blessing in every curse. Because I
want you to understand that there is a good thing in everything bad that happens to you.
You know, this goes along with the quote, anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If
something doesn't kill you, if it doesn't destroy you, you know, it's going to make you for the
better. And that is the blessing in every curse. You know, if you get kicked out of high school,
or if you get kicked out of college, if you are a college dropout, then maybe you'll take
the opportunity to make a business. If you, I don't know, were fired from your job, you might
take the opportunity to write the book you've always been wanting to write, you know. I could
go on forever with these examples, but what I really want you to understand is that every time
you go through something tough, and it doesn't seem like there's nothing good in it, I want to
promise you that there is always something good in it. It might not seem relevant at the time,
but there's always, if you look back, you know, 10 years later, you'll realize that there is
something good that came out of it. Whether it's a work ethic, whether it's money, whether it's a
new job, whether whatever it could be, there's always something for the better that comes out
of it. So key takeaway for today, next time you're going through something really tough,
and you're like, why am I doing this? Or you just went through something really bad that,
you know, that came, it brought you really close to just feeling like you just wanted to quit or
whatever it was, just remember there is a hidden blessing in disguise in this, a hidden blessing.
Just remember that, and then hopefully that'll give you the strength to continue and make the
best out of your circumstances. So thank you so much for watching this video. Instagram and merch
