facing challenges

To every life there is a specific plan and purpose, how each phase is going to end has been preplanned and sorted out by the master script writer. He says, 'for I know my thoughts towards you, they are good and not evil... this should give us the courage to forge ahead in whatever situation we find ourselves in life. Life is filled with challenges and for each challenge that come our ways we have to face with the right mind set else, we get the worse out of such situation. The same attitude might not work for the same challenge at a different time in other words; facing challenges requires some degree of creativity from you.


There are certain things we have to realize whenever we are faced with any challenge and I am sure these keys will help you to come out of whatever situation/challenge you are faced with better because each challenge is meant to make us better and not bitter.
• This will not last forever: there is no situation that is permanent and in as much as it has a starting point; it surely has a termination point. Once you have this mind set, it will help you face that challenge with the right attitude. Often, people fail to think from this point of view and this has often negatively influenced the way they come out of such challenging period(s) of their lives.
• Always be happy: this sounds insane to you right? But it works; a happy mind is an effective mind. It only takes a mind that is happy to be creative and see any challenge as a mere distraction so friend always be happy. Just like a friend once said to me, "challenges are the breakfast of champions... "So I want to also say to you, you are meant to overcome those challenges and not the other way round.
• I am not the first: there is no longer anything new under the sky and the earlier you realize this obvious truth the better. So many people think they are the only one in the situation(s) that they are please that is not the truth; the truth is that your present is someone else past. And if you are not the first to be in such situation definitely, you won't be the last.
• It is for a purpose: have you ever thought about the reason you are in that situation that you are or probably you think it is just a coincidence. Whatever situations you face at any point in time in your life just have it at the back of your mind that there is a purpose for it and that purpose must be fulfilled.
• There is a lesson to learn: there is always a lesson to learn in whatever situation you find yourself and I beg you to always keep this in the most precious part of your heart. The reason a lot of people fall victim of the same situation again and again is because they have failed to learn from the previous and this shouldn't be because the reason we live is to learn and learning never stops until one is dead.
• You need good hearts: there is need for you to always surround yourself with positive minded people; those who can pull you up when you are down, those who will always believe in you when others don't and will be bold enough to tell you the bitter truth, these are the good hearts I'm referring to.
• You need a confidence: you may chose to call him/her a friend or whatever you so desire but what I mean is that, you need to have someone you can always share your thoughts with and for those who are married definitely it has to be your partner (husband/wife) because he/she should be the closest person to you.
• Be positive minded: always see the best coming out of every situation you are faced with even when no one else believe in you, you have to keep believing in yourself and that at the end of the tunnel there will surely be the light.
