Challenging challenges
Wherever you are and however much of an adventure you are having, it
is safe to say that more than likely you will be faced with challenges
and obstacles on a regular basis.
This is what life is made of. Some of us though, seem to have the
knack of making it all seem so easy, while others get caught up in the
negativity of the challenge and only see problems ahead of them.
Challenges can consume you if you let them. You can, on the other
hand choose to focus on your strengths instead and see challenges as a
part of life, which is exactly what they are.

If you allow yourself to focus on the difficulty of the challenge,
that is what's going to grow in size, yet if you focus on solutions for
your dilemma, the chances are you will find one or even more
possibilities for solving your problem. Through trying times, we do not
want to believe that some good can come out of troubled times.
Yet, if we look back on the difficult times in our lives, whether it
be about a relationship, one's business, an addiction, financial
problems or other ... have we not learnt more as a result of each
challenge? Have we not grown and become stronger?
I am not saying that we need to deny the severity of the challenge
and the pain it may be causing. It is essential to feel the emotion that
has surfaced to be able to accept the challenge and what it means to us.
Give yourself time, but then put on your obstacle boots, do what you
have to do about it, do all you can do and when that is done and no more
can be achieved at that time, let it go and trust that it will be taken
care.
Wait and be patient for the right time and then take another step
forward. Do not expect that all challenges can be solved immediately.
Some need time and there always seems to be a reason for this.
When challenges arise do not think you are being singled out and
punished. Challenges are the stuff life is made of. However, how you
choose to overcome the challenge will determine your rate of success.
In the words of Mark Victor Hansen, "Don't wait until everything is
just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges,
obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what! Get started now.
With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more
and more skilled, more and more successful." -
