Rock in the Road or Stepping Stone?

One of my friends from college posted an inspirational message on his Facebook page. It's about not giving up when life seems impossible, and realizing what seems like a hardship is actually an opportunity. The line that sticks out for me is that a rock in the road of life may actually be a stepping stone.

I've been going through some difficult times – witness my other posts and the video from Call to Action that I just put up on this blog (ain't technology great!) And I've been caught up in worry and fear because of all this…stuff. But I've also had a great deal of opportunities come my way recently; possibilities that I probably wouldn't have if I hadn't made sacrifices and gone back to school. Even though I'm driving a crappy car right now and I'm dodging creditors, I know, because of these opportunities, my future will be much brighter.

And these hardships, these rocks so to speak? These are learning experiences; these are inspiration for my writing. These are the stepping stones for my career.
