Make it a winning life
By Joshua Efughi
Challenge often come our way but it is the way we accept it that makes us either grow or suffer defeat. I have been taught that i should rather respond to them than reacting to them. Reacting to them is giving life to it. One of the common ways by which we react to these challenges is through FEAR.
Someone said fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real. That is why Prsident Theodore Roosevelt said "The only thing we need to fear is fear itself." Most times 90% of our fears never really happen, so it's useless to react as if the FALSE is REAL.
Responding to our challenges is dwelling on the possible solution that best solve our problem. Someone said "There is no hopeless situation, only people who think holeplessly.
You are not responsible to what life throws at you but are definitely responsible to what you make of it. So many people have allowed life's challenges to cancel their lifetime because they've decided to react to their mountains rather than use it as an elevator towards reaching higher. As Andres Lara said "Life will blow against you. Dont resist its flow, because what you resist (react to) will persist.
You cannot control the fact that the wind is blowing north when you are going south, yet you can control you sails. You cannot control where you start, yet you have absolute control of your actions and, therefore, of where you end up.''
Your energies should be directed on how to turn your problems into propellers. The Most awful situation can become solution when we set our minds right. As the Chinese said "You cannot prevent birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair." We are only capable of achieving the impossible when we make out challenges solutions and just like Robert Schuller said "For every mountain their is a miracle."
The miracle can be found when we are willing to look for it. Just as the bible says, it is only as we seek that we'll find. Indeed every adversity has in it a greater or equivalent benefit. Here's a quote from the man who escaped from Cuba, had no money,was homeless but turned out to be a Nationally known speaker, a president of inspiration magazine, and an author of many books Andres Lara : "There is always a creative way to turn your weakness into a strength. Your job is to fine that way."
The victory within is dos not assert itself until we are ready. God has made the way, find that way!
