You need people who will mock you, so that you can run to God.

You need people who will try to intimidate you, so that you can be courageous.

You need people who will say "NO" so that you can learn how to be independent...I mean how to do it yourself.

You need people who will disappoint you so that you can put all your trust in God alone.

You need people who will work towards you loosing that job, so that you can start your own big business.

You need people who will sell your 'Joseph' so that 'you' can get to Egypt and be a Prime Minister in a strange land of captivity.

You need a cruel landlord, so that you won't be too comfortable in someone else's house, then you can build your own house on time.

But sometimes, when we are disappointed, we feel very bad and we tend to remain on that spot. Not knowing that the end-point of disappointment is the beginning of your accomplishments.

Understand this, "that every disappointment you once had came with a blessing!" However, it is not everyone that partakes in this blessing that I'm talking about.

You cannot see a new OPEN door while you are still putting all your attention, time and energy in trying to force the closed one to open.

And again I say, "No disappointment can ever come without an attached blessing!"

So, when the disappointment come, thank God for it and tell "HIM" to open your eyes to see the new blessing that HE has for you!

Disappointment is PHASE 1 while accomplishment is PHASE 2. I doubt if one can jump the protocols easily

That is why it is called BREAKTHROUGH Something must BREAK so that you can go THROUGH!

I still say that we need enemies to make it

Sometimes you need enemies! to succeed in life. Enemies can give you more in a day than a friend in years.
Sometimes you need people who will mock you, so that you can run to God.
Sometimes you need people who will intimidate you, so that you can be courageous.
Sometimes you need people who will say "NO" so that you can learn how to do it yourself.
Sometimes you need people who will disappoint you so that you can learn to put all your trust in God alone.
Sometimes you need people who will work towards you loosing that job, so that you can start your own big company.
Sometimes you need to be rejected to move on to better .
Sometimes you need that cruel landlord, so that you won't be too comfortable in someone else's house.
But sometimes, when we are challenged, we feel very bad and tend to remain in that same spot. Your attitude determines your altitude.
The end-point of disappointment is the start point of accomplishments. Something has to die for a new life to begin.
Understand this, "with every challenge you face comes a blessing!"

65 Great Quotes That Will Help You Handle Criticism

It's never fun to be on the receiving end of criticism, but these thoughts can help you learn to deal with it more effectively.
Nobody likes being criticized. But how you handle it makes all the difference. If you lock up and become defensive, you're likely to waste a lot of time feeling bad--and repeating the same behavior that was a problem to begin with.
