Challenges: Key To Greatness

Life they say is not all bed of roses. The journey of life is not always smooth. Challenges abound everywhere among all classes of people; the rich and the poor; men and women; the young and the old. There were times we go through crises moment in our lives. It is no abnormal. Problems make life more exciting. Without them you may probably not know what you contain or the kind of stuff you made of. It is what determines whether you are weak or strong. The way you handle the bitter situation of your life will greatly influence your joy of living because solving a problem creates excitement. It gives warm sense of fulfillment. You wouldn’t know what victory taste like when you give up.Every time you give up you will lose the opportunity for greatness. To have a taste of victory you have to stand and challenge your challenges. Until you take stand against the upsurge of the challenges of life you will be considered a loser. But then let me say something here. Losing is not all about you not been able to defeat a challenge physically. It is all about your heart. You are only a loser when you accept defeat in your heart before the fight is over.On the other hand you are a grand success if you failed on the outside but still have the courage to continue fighting. Nobody can judge you as an utter failure until your heart has failed you. And everyone who has greatness install in him never gives up no matter the challenges standing in their way. GET THIS Your challenge will always come in sizes but not in the size that you will not have the strength to overcome. So the size of your challenge in life will always be equal to you. With this in mind you need not to take a hike when you see one. How far do you think you can run from your problem? The problem you don’t stand today will return back to you in a multiply form. Then you will be crushed under its weight. Its better you take care of it today. You need to know that problems don’t go away; they are made to go away. What you run away from you can never defeat. Some people worry when face with certain Challenges in life. You can’t change anything by worrying. You change them by warring. There is just no problem that you cannot solve. And there is absolutely no situation that you cannot provide an answer for. Just sit down with it and think of a way out. Whatever you do don’t just quit. Challenges are the key to greatness in life.

Fulfilling Your Dream

Every pregnancy is a product of an intercourse. And when the pregnancy is brought to term a child is birth. There are some of us who had carried certain pregnancy that never came close to birth. Some were terminated immediately after they took in but for some, months later they suffer miscarriage. This indeed is not a too pleasant experience. What you may be pregnant with could be your dreams. You hope to get married soon, own a house, build an industry, go to school, build your parent a house; maybe yours is to get a good paying job. You were hopeful but then it happened. Abortion! Your tall dreams came crashing before your very eyes, and it seem you may never get to put them back together again. I say it’s not the end of the road. God was there too. HIS DREAM! Now God desired a world that is free of evil and wickedness. He desired a world that was to be totally ruled by peace, joy and bliss. And so he set machinery in place to make it happen. He succeeded in setting the stage. Just when he was about to settle down to enjoying his dream, his hope was dashed. Man got himself into trouble thereby destroying the original plan of God. What a crushing blow to God. THE LESSON IS THIS Friend, probably you had a dream that failed yesterday and you are being crucified and called a failure. And that has made you to be bitter and left you in an acute pool of depression. You think there is no more way out for you. I want you to remember that God was sometimes in your shoes. He suffered a disheartening abortion. His beautiful garden got messed up and his hope for an evil free world failed. Do you know what? He never remained in his frustration. He initiated another plan to realize his dream. This time he was never caught 'napping' so his dream succeeded. For you to sit down and bemoan your failure is certainly not the right path to tow in such times. It is for you to sit down and strategize on the way forward. Yes, it failed. What about it? Engineer another plan to make it work. If plan A was not up to it, then plan B would or even plan C. That you failed yesterday does not make you a failure. It is only your project that failed, not you. There is a big difference between you and your project. Get up, initiate another plan and keep moving. Don't let that dream die. That is the engine that powers your life. Although God's dream remained the same, he triggered another move. You can bounce back. After all you are not the first that failed and you won't be the last. Take a cue from God, the initiator of bounce back and console yourself. It is never over until you give up. NOTE THIS Failure is only an event en-route to success. Why make a fuss about something that is not permanent. It is not worth it. Every time you are tempted to bemoan you failure again, just remember that God suffered an abortion of his dream too and at a very early stage.

The Right Way ToThink

Man is a complex being whose every action is determined by the way he thinks. The mirror of your thought is your action. It is said 'as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.' It then now follows that you cannot grow beyond your thought level. The perspective you have of yourself internally determines your external manifestation. The greatest harm you could do to yourself is to uphold a negative perspective of you. Negative thoughts create negative events. If you want the negative events of your life to change, then its time to look at your thought life and change. What you have not imagined you cannot create. Your imaginative thought would do two things in your life: it will either motivate you or demotivate you, depending on whether it is positive or negative. So, learn how to think right. Your mind is meant to be a world of absolute productivity. Don't destroy the productiveness of your mind through negativism. Some people fail once and think they are failures forever. No! That is wrong thinking. The truth is this: you are just on your way to success. You are the commander of what you think. Steer your mind from negativism. Life is more positive than it is negative. You can enjoy life in spite of things happening around you negatively. Just keep the right thoughts and discard of the wrong ones. That is why the Bible says, your life will experience transformation through the process of renewing your mind. A renewed mind creates a renewed life. Take time and check your thinking pattern. Its time to do some clean up. Don't keep living with wrong thoughts.
