Before
you can truly succeed in any venture in life, you must have the love and
passion for it and understand the whys and whats that are needed to make it a
success, because those are the things that are likely to keep you focused and
help you hold your ground whenever you’re faced with difficult challenges
along the way.
when
dealing with any difficult situations in life, you need to ask yourself; 'why such
challenge is coming to you at that time? what you stand to lose should you do
nothing? how such challenge would affect your situation should you fail to
address it? what you need to do to overcome or go through such challenge with
as little negative impact as possible? And finally what you stand to gain should you
overcome it successfully?'
You must understand that challenges are
inevitable in life. It is how you deal with them that determine to a great
extent how far you’re likely to go in the journey of life. People that
lament when they are faced with challenges hardly go past them because they
spend their whole time lamenting about such challenge than think on ways to go
through them successfully.
Your
definition of situations plays a huge part on how you respond to such
situations when you’re confronted by them. People that see every challenge as
an opportunity to climb to the next level in life don’t spend their whole time
lamenting about such situations but they think on ways to make that situation
turn out for their own good or reduce the negative impact such a situation
would have on them by taking some carefully planned path.
What
goes through your mind when you’re faced with unpleasant situations in life? Do
you just sit and lament and expect the situation to go all by itself? Or you do
something about it - knowing what you stand to lose should you fail to do
something about it.
A
young man had a romantic relation with a certain lady for about two and a half years;
they appeared to be an item then because he never joked with her and always
strive to meet her needs whenever she demanded for anything. He made his
intention known to the lady about spending their lives together and she was so
excited and they started planning toward the marriage.
He informed his parents and relatives and they
went to see the lady’s people and started preparing for the big day.
Surprisingly, three weeks before the big day, the lady called him and told him
that she was no longer interested in the marriage proceedings and wouldn’t want
to be with him anymore. He was so devastated because he was in love with her
and he had already informed everyone he knew about their big day.
He
tried to talk the lady into changing her mind but she held on to her decision
giving the excuse that the young man’s meager income could not sustain both of them
when they eventually get married. It was later discovered that she left him
because she met a wealthy young man that promised her a life of bliss and
marriage.
The
young man was devastated, but he used that situation to charge himself to work
harder. He was working as a cashier in a bank at that time. Surprisingly, he
was transferred to a new branch and was made the branch manager in less than
two years.
He
married another lady, moved to his own house and was doing very fine. But the
first lady that jilted him was still unmarried because she was deceived by the
affluence the other guy displayed. The bottom-line of all that I’ve been trying
to state here is that, let the challenges
and ill situations that you face be the driving force to take you to the next
level. Those that lament at any little challenges or difficult situation
never go far in life. If you really want to make it and go farther than you can
imagine in life, tackle any challenge that comes your way headlong and see
yourself soar to greater heights.
