This Law teaches that everything meaningful has an opposite.

You can’t fall six feet if you’re only four feet up. You can’t turn left unless “right” is also an option. "Yes" only means something because "No" exists. Without one, the other would be empty. Good and bad. Light and dark. Male and female. Each finds meaning only in contrast to the other.

This Law also shows us that in every circumstance—no matter how hard—there is an equal and opposite “good” built into it.

So, what does this mean for you?

It means that when you’re facing something difficult, there’s a blessing contained within it. By law. Napoleon Hill put it best:

"Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit."

Practically speaking, this means you always have a reason to assign a positive meaning to your challenges. When you intentionally search for the upside and choose to feel gratitude (which is a powerful go-to emotion), you shift your mind—and your body—into a higher vibration. And when that shift happens, the world begins to respond in alignment.

You’ve heard the phrase “every cloud has a silver lining.” It might feel overused, but there’s deep truth behind it. If you train yourself to expect the good, even when it’s hard, you’ll begin to find it.

But here’s the catch: the benefit isn’t automatic. You have to know it’s there and be willing to look for it. You have to decide that it matters enough to find.

That decision alone can change everything. You can transform every hardship into a gift. You can come out stronger. You can win—no matter what.

"Seek and ye shall find."
That’s a promise you can count on.

Sometimes the benefit shows up simply because you didn’t quit. Sometimes you find it because you faced the fire, kept going, and learned what it came to teach. That thing that almost broke you? It can become your greatest breakthrough—because you were willing to meet it head-on.

To receive the gift your hardship holds, you have to stop resisting it. Accept it. Feel the full weight of it—but hold onto hope and expectation that a benefit is coming. And trust that it will come, equal in magnitude to your suffering. It’s a law.

The deeper the pain, the bigger the blessing. If your struggle is mild, the benefit will be modest. But if it’s deep, devastating, and life-shattering… the benefit it holds is profound. Avoiding the pain means forfeiting the reward.

So instead of shrinking your vision to fit the size of your hardship, let your hardship expand the size of your vision. Let it drive you to dream bigger than you ever dared to before. Let it launch you into a life you never would’ve found without it.

This is a principle you can trust. Those with the deepest trials often have the highest potential for greatness.

Let me illustrate. My son forwarded me an email last week that drives this point home. (If these images raise any copyright concerns, and you’re the owner, please reach out.)

Doors open for those who believe in themselves—who have the willpower to do what others say can’t be done. If a dog can learn to walk on two legs, what’s your excuse? What has made you say, “Why me?” or “That’s not fair”?

Don’t forget: your hardship is a gift. God knows exactly what He’s doing with your life. When you stop fighting the trial and start becoming the person you were born to be, that very hardship will become the thing that catapults you into your purpose.

Make the decision to find the benefit, and you’ll always come out stronger.

I look forward to your success. If a dog can find the ability to walk like a man because of tragedy, what could you uncover in yourself?

All dogs have that potential—but only this one discovered it through hardship. What’s your tragedy? And what hidden strength will you discover?

Thank your Heavenly Father for the challenges He’s trusted you with, and ask Him to show you what He wants you to do with them. You already walk... maybe now it’s time to SOAR.
