Struggle - a small price to pay for Success

About 2 days ago, I was sure my hospital campaign would go live by 30th March... but today I'm sure it wont; and, my boss is getting impatient with the 'nil' progress.
Yesterday and today, I avoided bumping into my boss... i knew the moment he would see me, he would ask me about my campaign brochures - borchures are not ready yet and i dont think they will be for another week.
My boss of course is only concerned with the end result. I've been working on this for 4 months now, and each day some new issue comes up; each day i have to find a new solution; and, each day i thank God for helping me out. I know I wouldn't have continued with this and without His help I would've probably given up a couple of months ago.
From - people playing games with me, To - me getting fired, everything that I could possibly think of, has happend at work. I left everything to God... Then one day I was asked to resume work after they realised that something was wrong somewhere else. I decided to resume coz i wanted to complete this campaign... but this campaign is not even taking off!!!
After endless drafts for 2 brochures, designs and layots, finally everything was submitted to the printing company yesterday. I thought, great, in 2 days I will get the printed brochures and get working with them on my campaign... as if 4 months of struggle was not enough over 1 measly thing, a problem cropped up (yet again) and a delay occured. Thanks to my lack of experience, there was some problem and one of the 2 brochures had to be re-designed!!!
I have to mention that the designer till date has been very supportive and patient with me and my errors... and once again he agreed to redo the whole thing. In a day he mailed me the new design and... there was another problem (thankfully not my mistake this time)... it took him another day to amend it. Today, I sent the design for printing but am not gonna relax till i get the printed brochures in my hands!!!
Almost everything that could go wrong, went wrong... maybe theres more in store for me...
but, with all this struggle I have gained insight and valuable experience which I'm quite proud of...

Struggle is very important in our life as it brings out the best in us...

In my opinion, every struggle has a good ending as it usually leads to success.

My dear Pooja,

The best of you will emerge in the worst of circumstances, so dont be shy of struggle and I am quite sure you are not, embrace it, seek it and confront it...
