All is for Good,…

There are two types of people you will come across in life, One is a Pessimist while the other, an Optimist. It is said, a Pessimist always sees the hole in the Donut, while the Optimist sees the sugar coated delicious flour around the hole. How far you travel in life will depend on the type of people with whom you hangout with.

Remember, an Optimist can make a Heaven out of Hell, and a Pessimist can make a Hell out of Heaven. It is said that people suffer from chronic sicknesses mainly because of their mind. Day in and Day out, they visualize Sickness. Just ask your colleagues, how do you do? The answers you get will appall you. To tell the truth, none of answers will be uplifting. From replies such as, “still surviving” to “barely scrapping to make it to the end”, to “not sure” and “not bad”

The majority are walking around waiting for the weekend, then cussing the Monday dawn. The reason for this, ill mannered attitude is rooted in the mind composition of a person. Instead of wishing for things to get better, if only the individuals get better, Monday mornings would be a bliss.

Don’t give up your Climb-keep pushing

There is this beautiful verse in the Bible which says something like this, ” Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all”

In life, get prepared to meet with afflictions, for a life without afflictions would merely mean that life has never taken off.

Have you ever tried climbing a mountain? For sure, the challenges are many, afflictions will come at the climber at every edge and corner, yet he strives hard and even harder to each the summit. For only when he reaches the summit, honor awaits him.

But the irony is most people give up midway in their Climb. They offer 100 reasons why they should give up the climb midway. The saddest part is, studies have shown, people give up just an inch before they were about to strike Gold.

Afflictions make your Stronger

Have ever seen the Blacksmith working at his craft. Day in and Day out you can see him beating the Iron to the desired design of his customer’s requirement.

During that process, you can visibly see the development of his arms to an impressive monument of perfection that embodies structure and strength. It is said, the arm of a Blacksmith will be so strong that it can bend iron.

Whether the above statement is true or not, that is immaterial to the context, but what matters is the effect that hard labor and challenges do to an arm made up of flesh and blood.

Now, tie up the same arm, just telling yourself, “oh!, life is hard, and am not for hard work” Quickly you will realize that the same arm which was noted for its strength and Valor has suddenly become the weakest link in the body and soon would wither off.

Thus, a life without hardship will not brave the Storm and will perish even at the slightest rustle of winds

When life hits you hard, don’t back off, instead of complaining, “why me?”. take life head on with a frontal attack, saying, “Try me” The difference between the man who wins a fight and the man who loses the fight is their mindset.

One walks in with a Courage, and his very walk conveys to his opponent that he is going knock the pulse out of him. While the other had already decided in his mind, that he has lost the fight and heads right in to embrace defeat and shame. Keep your head high and your mind right. One day your time will come, till then, keep the climb.
