Life's challenges


We have been through many challenges in our life. At times, it is easy to pass over it. Other times, we have to sacrifice something in order to make through it. Challenges come in many forms. It could happen directly like hiking mountain, finishing a race, scoring for examination and so on. Most people survive for this type of challenge because of the motivation in form of rewards that follow after it. Another form of challenge is the one that happens indirectly, such as:

a) Making yourself happy when you can’t even wear a smile
b) Standing up after a failure
c) Viewing things in a positive ways though everything seems upside down
d) Motivating yourself to move forward when the road ahead looks dark
e) Be still when others are putting you down
f) Trying to look good when the pain is killing you inside
g) Giving yourself assurance when the situation seems hopeless and so on

This form of challenge is more demanding. We have to struggle in order to pass over it. It doesn’t really demand our physical strength but rather the inner strength. We have to be mentally and emotionally stable to overcome it. If we were not strong enough to face it, we will fall down. So every time problems surfaced, be strong because it is a challenge that we have to fight for. Don’t let them knock you down! Above all, always remember that God never shouldered us something that we cannot handle. Everything happens according to His beautiful plan. Be blessed everyone.
