Most people tend to view challenges with contempt, thinking that they are the reason for their failures. But the fact is that challenges lack the emotions to recognize what impact they have on you and your circumstances-whether positive or negative. They don’t know who is tall or short, fat or thin, big or small, fair or dark. They don’t even know who is rich or poor.
But the good news is that every human being-man, woman, boy or girl - was designed to handle the biggest challenges by the unlimited potentials given to us by God. You are designed to develop endlessly in capacity until you are big enough to conquer any challenge you are faced with.
That means that the level of success we attain in life is directly linked to our commitment to increasing our capacity. Resilience, endurance, staying power, sensitivity and unrelenting faith don’t jump on people. They are consciously built over time by following a set of simple and easy-to-execute principles.
CHALLENGES ARE USEFUL
They give us the power to overcome any challenge we face at every point in our lives. Without challenges there can never be growth. Without challenges there will never be improvements. Without challenges we will all be lost in the global throng of never-do-wells. And what gives us true joy and fulfillment in life is our ability to change levels – from nothing to something, from failures to successes, from troubled marriages to blissful ones, from mediocrity to ingenuity, from rejections to mass acceptance, and from poverty to riches.
Therefore we must make up our mind to grow in our capacity for handling problems especially the ones we face in our everyday lives.
