Man Says Trying To Have Children For 10 Years Was His Biggest Challenge In Life, Shares Photos Of His Bouncing Baby Boy Who Finally Arrived

A man named Derick Dickson has shared the most difficult challenge he has encountered in life, waiting for a child for 10 years was not easy.

But today God has blessed with a son.

He wrote:

During an interview with a CEO of a Banking firm, I was asked the question: “What has been your biggest challenge in life?”

I didn’t have to think long to answer that question. “Being married for 6 years and trying unsuccessfully to have kids.”

There was an awkward silence in the room before he responded and said. “How have you dealt with it?”

I said “It will only never happen if we stopped trying”.

That was 4 years ago, and 10 years in total to date since my wife and I tried to have children.

2 months ago we welcomed our miracle boy into our family and what a joy he has been to us.

I always hear this statement, this platform is a professional platform, keep your personal lives to yourself. To a certain degree I understand , but I also know this to be a fact..My personal journey has had a huge impact on my professional life.

It’s the constant month on month “rejection”
that makes me understand that some deals will go through and others will fall through.

It’s trying different things in marriage and during the journey of childbirth that teaches me that change in inevitable in business.

It’s having to wake up everyday despite the challenges and having to show up every time that builds resilience within me in the professional space.

Maybe this isn’t for you, but for the very few people who can relate, I have one thing to say:

If you’re believing for something great to happen to you, don’t ever give up despite the many setbacks.

It took us 10 years, it might take you less or even longer but remember this, we’re cheering you on. Your win is not just for you but for others as well.

I celebrate every professional who is striving to achieve something great.

Finally, remember this, your personal stories can definitely inspire your professional journey.

Keep going, Derick.
