THE ART OF SURVIVNG CHALLENGES

THE ART OF SURVIVING  CHALLENGES

A challenge is a word and we all have our definition of it but the rule of dealing with it is simple to understand but hard to conquer.  Many a times we listen to people either being interviewed or in motivational speeches or just small talk i heard conversations of people being told of using crisis to create opportunities, a few will manage to do it, the rest will either flop back to a more victimized situation or use a short-cut to avoid the situation.

I really want to thank God as it came to a point where i learnt to appreciate the challenges that i had faced all through the years, it opened my eyes and sharpened my understanding and made me bold enough to wish for more challenges. The part to accepting and making your challenge an oportunity either to grow as an individual or as a skill to use in the individuality prospect of the well-being of others is a life-time process depending on how old one is and from the time one started facing real challenges.

Challenges are meant to work on us, they dont destroy us but sometimes unless we become wise to understand why we face a certain challenge at a certain point of life, we will keep doing the same wrong thing and yet more with a rebellion. The word failure in itself is the optimum challenge and many people hate associating with it. Honestly as a person i have this fear of failure, i fear never having  a chance to honour my dreams, not taking more responsibility that i should have taken, never being in the right place with the right ''circumstances'' and mostly i fear when i try out things and they dont work.  but on time i learnt the goodness of challenges and here are few tips to help one rise above their challenges.

(i) Take control

takng full responsibility to a situation that comes in as an individual makes things a whole lot better because it gives you the power to access your possibilities. when we learn to take control rather than using the shadow of other people to avoid what is at stake, we reciprocate our wholeness into action.

(ii)Be equipped

Challenges should always find us ready with our identities, who we are in the long run, our visions, dreams and the greatest of all the pressure of determination and zeal. i read an interesting article of this model who went to audition and was told her legs were too long, the next time she was told to hide her legs in a maxi dress, the third time she was asked for a contract. when asked why she never gave up, she said that everytime she was rejected, she learnt that her best features were her legs

(iii) let it flow

it is simple as that, let water flow in glass of juice and it makes it perfect, our challenges will always come at the time when a part of us needs improvement or when we are blind to taking responsibility of what is required of us.

(iv) Position yourself to victory

This is the most important step after the first three steps we need to ensure that we are better than who we are, if it was a failed relationship, rejected proposals, failed auditions, unresponded mails. this is the time to do the donts and donts the do. this is a time to signal out the lessons and embrace them and at the same time making a few steps. I came to learn that most of us when we are faced with a challenge/crisis/failure, we try to come out but forgetting to take a few steps outside the challenge. we are so into the challenge and so onto the challenge that we remain stagnant and lack the endorsements of doing something else. when you inspire to be a model and fail, work on what creates a barrier for you not to be accepted and at the same time try t.v or radio or even counselling, with such an agenda one is able to maximize the full potential and to create vacuum for opportunities to be dragged in.

I am whom am i today because of a challenge that challenge it gave me and still gives me the potential to become more mature, to learn from my mistakes
