In sports, the greatest accomplish is to go an entire season without ever experiencing defeat, becoming both unvanquished as well as the champion. Of course, this doesn't happen often, and if was to be a routine occurrence for a particular team, viewership would actually go down, because if a particular team always wins, there just isn't much drama in that. So too, in life, it is important to remember that if everything that you do comes rather easily for you, if everything always goes your way, and if the whole world seems to revolve around you, then you are either imagining these things or you have got to get yourself up and actually find some challenges that involve real struggle and real effort.
In point of fact, the people that always win, and that always get their way, aren't going to be especially empathetic to people that aren't winning, and aren't getting their way, because they will be at a lost as to how to identify with that.

Many people do not know how much talent and strength that they have, until they are placed into a position in which they must assert themselves, or suffer dire consequences for not successfully doing so.

You need to suffer sometimes, not so much because suffering builds character, but rather to better empathize with others going through similar situations, so that your strength and your experience will help to prop up another, who needs that helping hand.
Also, it is important to see physical life lost, so that you will better understand, that life not only has many stages, but that physical life on this earth can end suddenly and unexpectedly, therefore allowing you to appreciate more that time allocated to you and hence understand more completely that time has value, and it is up to you, to maximize it, not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of others.
Your life matters, not only to yourself but especially to family and friends, and your experiences matter, because those experiences, either becomes stumbling blocks or building blocks, depending upon how you manage them. In life, the objective is not to get a perfect score, the objective is to try and try again to overcome the things that prevent you from being the best that you can be, and your obligation to society is to lend a helping hand to others so that they can do the same
