“The beauty of the soul
shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another,
not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic
temper.” —Aristotle
Life is full of threats and
opportunities. If you are an optimist you explore opportunities from threats.
If you are a pessimist you explore threats from opportunities. It all depends
on how you perceive and reciprocate to them.
When thrown with problems,
don’t brood over them. Instead, explore the solutions to overcome them. Invent
ways and means to overcome them. In this way, you can improve your thinking and
you can become agile and active mentally to face challenges. Average
individuals often think that extraordinary individuals are luckier. The fact is
that extraordinary individuals are exponential thinkers while ordinary thinkers
are linear thinkers. The difference between the average individuals and
extraordinary individuals is a matter of mindset. Hence, cultivate the right
mindset and acquire a positive attitude to overcome challenges. Remember that
you don’t get everything on a platter. You must slog hard to acquire everything
in life and achieve success.
People often blame God for
the challenges they encounter. They must understand that God throws them
challenges to make them champions. When you look at several leaders including
Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Winston Churchill, they underwent tons
of trials and tribulations. They came out with flying colors and became great
leaders globally. Therefore, whenever God throws you challenges think that you
are becoming a better person and leader. Above all, when God gives you
problems, He also offers you solutions. Hence, explore solutions to overcome
the challenges.
At times problems are boon in
disguise to prevent you from landing in bigger problems. Remember that
everything happens for a reason. Be positive and optimistic. With gratitude to
God!
"One who wins without a
problem", it is just a VICTORY but "One who wins with a lot of
troubles" that is HISTORY ―Adolf Hitler
