Challenge
Accepted!
James 1:2-4: "Count it all joy, my brothers,
when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your
faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that
you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
Thomas A Edison: I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Challenges in some situations and
circumstances in life are sometimes inevitable, it possibly makes you willing
and desperate to achieve that which you desire and on the contrary could also
make one forfeit hope.
Do these sound familiar? Life is
HARD, it’s too DIFFICULT, people expect just too much from me, do they want me
to kill myself, I CAN’T do it, Is it me that killed Jesus that I must do all of
these, My brain is not made for that kind of thing, somebody just kill me now,
I QUIT, Its OVER etc. Most certainly these are familiar and regular statements
children of God make every day. You
know how we panic, worry, stress ourselves and almost want to give up? If only
you just take 60seconds/ a little time to breath and calm down, you will be
surprised to know that you still have life within you and ahead of you.
I wish to let you know that Life
is not hard neither is it difficult. On the contrary it is very easy! It will
be easy if you know what it is you are doing. There are multiple examples of
people who have found life easy but of course had to go through setbacks,
disappointments and failures. Oh I believe everyone hates challenges, failure,
disappointment and the likes of it but instead, everyone loves on Success
(which is a good thing). Nevertheless REMEMBER failure is not really failure,
it’s just another chance for you to try again! What you are is as a result of
the choices you must have made, either to sink with disappointments or to take
the challenge and move again.
When you reflect on whatever it
is that you are doing, and you realise why you are doing it, probably because
you will gain at the end of it, or in order for you to be happy…etc you actually
become more inspired to keep pushing. Hope is very vital and you can’t afford to
lose it.
Keep pushing; accept those
challenges that come your way as it’s only going to make you stronger for
tomorrow. I encourage you to dream, plan, prioritize, take steps and be hopeful
because the greatest failure in life is to doubt yourself and stop trying. It
will definitely be worth it at the end!
