A Challenge Only Becomes An Obstacle When You Bow To It

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package.

Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them. Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us.

Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges that presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together. The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront us and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.

Don't give up! It's not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back. The key to life is accepting challenges. No one is without troubles, without personal hardships and genuine challenges.

When we come to understand this, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future.Sometimes the darkest challenges, the most difficult lessons, hold the greatest gems of light. hose who mistrust their own abilities are being too wicked to themselves, discouraging themselves from doing what they should have been excelling in.

Optimal experience is thus something that we make happen. Changes are inevitable and not always controllable. But once the pain subsides, the gifts remain. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going. You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage.

Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

I overcame the challenges because I just decided to be happy. Everything that has happened to me in my life has defined who I am, and all of the things leading up to my being a researcher and a writer, all came from overcoming challenges in childhood and overcoming challenges as I got older especially in my failed marriage. I realized that hurdles aren't really hurdles at all. They're welcome challenges, tests. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

It's easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.

No matter what kind of challenges or painful situations we go through in life, we can still find the inner strength to get through them.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
