In life, challenges are bound to be around. it may be in studies, family, ministry, career and many many more. there are people who rise to the occassion and overcome like a champion, whereas some found themselves in the pit, and worse still choose not to stand up and continue to sink, ending up in misery and depression. When i think through this, i begin to ask myself, which one do i wanna choose to be? and what are the key factors of becoming a strong person?
after living my life for 23 years and 4 years being a christian, i learnt and realised that 2 factors leads to a victorious life: mindset and character.
mindset: a lot of people are wondering, why mindset? mindset translates to your attitude and actions. if you begin to think positively, even when tough times come,the positive thoughts will drive positive attitude and action.
character: your desire and constant stand to do the right things and not wanting to go down easily in defeat. There is a saying that goes: you may have the talent to go to the top, but it is the character that will sustain you.how true is this. i mean, you can be a top student today, but if you have a character issue, the tumbling down on the ground will be a hard one. i have seen top students because of character, have fallen from grace.no wonder the journey is ALWAYS more important than the destination. it is the JOURNEY that builds the character.
I must say i am not the most talented, but really where i am today, i am thankful to God in building me and also sending people in my life to see me grow n develop. of course i am not perfect and my character is still gorwing, but i must say it's a lot stronger than i was not a christian=D Praise the Lord.
At times i do feel for those who just stays down after a defeat or setback. All these people have got a great future and i know that if they choose to face it with courage and belief, they can come out n live a greater life!
SO to all people out there, if you r facing challenges, remember, have faith and belief that YOU can overcome it( we are called to be more than conquerors, Romans 8:37) and look at it as a chance to grow and develop your character!Dun give up just like that!
Let me end of this entry with 2 quotes:
1)what does not kill you can only makes you stronger!
2)A champion is someone who NEVER quits!
Jia you and enjoy growing up!
