You are welcome back to our discussion on having the right kind of mentality towards the challenges of life. I believe that you are gaining wisdom and insight as to how to deal with the storms of this life. I pray that you will be better off and stronger, too, at the end of the day! Research also proves to us that accepting challenges will automatically increase your chances of success by 40%. So, my dear reader, this is the more reason why you need to embrace the right kind of attitude towards the challenges you are currently facing now. I am sure you are interested in knowing the right kind of attitude towards the challenges of this time, so without much ado. Let’s examine some of the ways you need to respond to these challenges.
RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHALLENGES:
1. See challenges as an opportunity. Yes, this is the way to go. Start seeing your challenges as an opportunity to trust God more, grow, learn, evolve and even look inward. Our challenges will give us ample opportunity to accomplish many things you ordinarily have not done. So, my dear brothers and sisters, start seeing your challenges as an opportunity and not as a threat. Rom8v28.
2. See challenges as a ladder and not a lid. Stop seeing your challenges as a limitation; instead, see them as a stepping stone to something greater and higher. The moment you embrace this kind of mentality towards your challenges, you will be on your way to a victorious outcome in Jesus name. This was how Joseph saw his challenges too. Gen50v20. He didn’t see it as a setback but as a setup! I hope you got this! It’s important for you to see whatever challenges you are currently facing now as a stepping stone to greatness and the next level.
3. See Challenges as a builder and strengthener. Your challenges will help you develop character, resilience, inner fortitude and capacity if your attitude is right. It will strengthen your faith and conviction. In fact, it will make you stronger and better at the end of the day! This is what happened to Joseph after all his ordeal in Egypt. Whatever does not kill you only makes you stronger! Pro24v10. So, my dear reader, make this your mantra and motto in the challenges of life. Let the challenges of life improve, enhance and fortify your life! I see you becoming a stronger believer as you embrace this attitude in Jesus name, amen.
