Taking on the Challenges in Life

Written by Cheow Yu Yuan

Along one’s life journey, there will definitely have ups and downs. There will be storms and difficult times. Have you wonder why is this so?

Basically, there are 5 reasons, which are:
1. To develop your character. When you are facing the most challenging time in your life, it is usually the best time to see your character. Do you give up easily? Or do you continue to bite your teeth and fight on like a warrior?

2. To test your faith. Usually prior to your success, you will face a lot of setbacks, and will start to lose confidence and faith. During this difficult time, it is the best time to test your faith, whether you believe that your success will be a reality in the near future.

3. To learn new things. Every setback happens from a cause, and this is the best time to learn from your mistakes, correct it, and not to make the same mistakes in the future.

4. To strengthen yourself. There is a quote which says “Things that do not kill you will only make you stronger”. After every setback, bounce back and be stronger.

5. To get out of comfort zone. Sometimes, when you are too comfortable in your work or journey to success, you will not improve, and tend to become complacent. Setbacks will only wake you up, and urge you to be more on your toes.

Just remember, success is usually 1 step away. Work hard towards your goal now.

Many people are confused with the concept of responsibility. Many of us have confused the concept and believe we can be responsible for the actions, behaviors and thoughts of others. Not possible!

You Can't Change Your Life Today Author : Rachelle
I find it amusing how many people, programs, and books are out there today that promise to change your life in a second, a minute or as long as a day. Although intriguing as it may sound, changing your life isn't going to happen in a flash. Change takes time, and usually more time than you ever imagined. The good news is that you can change your life; it just isn't going to happen right this moment. I agree that circumstances can change in a...

Stop the Negative Fantasy Author : Rachelle
Worry is one of those things that will pull you down and stop you in your tracks quicker than most anything else. Most things you worry about don't happen, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone from spending time and energy worrying.

You are fantasizing not about the good that...

Speaking Positive Words Into Your Life Author : Chad Hardy
I recently heard an amazingly insightful sermon regarding words, but more precisely concerning who spoke those words. The topic was based around The Garden of Eden and when Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit. Let’s start with some scripture: Genesis - Chapter 2 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the g...
