HOW TO FACE CHALLENGES IN LIFE?
“Believe
where others doubt; work where others refuse; save where others waste; stay
where others quit, and you will win when others lose.”
“Change
is nature of life. But challenge is aim of life. So you have to challenge the
changes and not change the challenges.”
Haven’t we faced so many challenges in life? Everyday turns out to be a challenge. Every minute becomes challenging for few and every person we meet turns out to be very challenging for others.
Let us understand first what are challenges
Challenges are obstacles, hindrance which
comes in our way of success. It either makes us strong over a period of
time or kills our confidence, if we fail to face them. They are like an additional
bonus in our life, which helps us to grow mentally and emotionally grounded.
Challenges bring out the best in a person.
Why do we fear facing challenges?
We
are scared that we might lose ourselves in the battle of success. We even have
the perception, that challenges put us down or make us weak. Assumption of fear
of the future, low emotional intelligence, lack of stability in the vision,
deterioration of consistency, fear of failure easily makes our way towards,
drowning in the pool of challenges. Also insecurity of taking risks in life, demotivates
us, in stepping back, in front of the challenges.
Challenges appear as huge mountains from a
far distance, but are only tiny obstacles when we approach it closer. The
already inbuilt thought that it is going to dread us for the rest of our lives,
stops us from facing the challenges and thus we either escape or run away from it.
Do we all face Challenges in life?
Yes,
we all definitely face various challenges in life. Every person has a different
outlook and an attitude towards the obstacles they come across. Some face it
boldly, some overcome it and many try to escape from it, and end up losing
themselves and everything in the game of life.
Every
person has different set of challenges to face on a daily basis. The challenges
are different for a student, home-maker, working women, unemployed graduates, businessman,
struggling entrepreneur, families below the poverty line, diseased people etc.
Struggles, obstacles, pain is different. But the one who faces it with all
their will, the one who overcomes and overpowers their challenges will
definitely win, even if the path is laden with thorns.
Who
has not faced challenges? Every great personality you see today, on the internet
or in the books have faced a lot of struggles in their life. Barack Obama,
Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhiji, Ed sheeran, and popular entrepreneurs like
Himeesh Madan, Sandeep Maheshwari are popular and successful today. Why? It’s
only because of their eager to overcome all the challenges in their life. These
are few personalities, in the list of great achievers, who have achieved a lot
in their lives and are true examples to everyone who look at them. If they had
pondered over their struggles, and locked themselves up in their comfort zones
,would they have ever been ‘The One’ you
adore today?
