Your Determination And Resilience In The Face Of Challenges

It is true that challenges are among the inevitables of life, but it is how you respond to them that will determine your lot in life. As you relate with people, in your work place, at home, in your interactions, etc, you cannot escape challenges because of some reasons that may include individual differences, conflict in opinions, belief, etc. So as you live, you have to be open to welcome challenges, but you should also be prepared to face it and to be determined to succeed at it. Most times, what people call challenges are just the training ground for success.

In order to stay afloat in the face of challenges, you have to be determined to do so, but there are also some other factors that you need to get handy with in order to help you not to crack by the challenges. The first and the most important point to note is that in order to overcome challenges, you have to remain positive even in the midst of negativities. So instead of focusing on the negative side of life and enabling the challenges, you should focus more on the positive solution and you will overcome the challenges.

Another point you need to understand is that there is always something to learn from the seemingly challenging situations of life. So in the real sense of it, the challenge is not completely useless if you can get a couple of lessons from it. You will be surprised how someone's challenges can teach valuable life lessons to make one better and empower one to overcome similar future challenges. When you relate the lessons that you have learnt from the previous challenges to the present one, it will be easier to scale through.

Another thing to also get handy with is "risk taking." Obviously, there is no way you can effectively put up a fight against challenges without taking risks. Sometimes you may just need to row against the tide to effect a change. Surprisingly, what many people are afraid to risk is what is keeping them from overcoming their challenges. Until you are willing to take risks, then you are not determined to overcome your challenges. Imagine someone that is scared of public speaking but has not taken the risk to appear before public places to speak, how will they overcome the challenge?

In the face of challenge, also, do not forget one thing; do not stand alone. There are people you can talk to about the challenges that may help you to overcome them. More so, many people have been able to overcome the same challenge that you are facing currently, so when you talk to them or seek their assistance, they will give you a hint on how they overcame their own and you will apply it to your own. Among people to talk to, you have you family, trusted friends, or even seek for professional assistance. But remember this, one of the tools to overcome challenges is to know when to seek for help.

When you have undertaken all these aforementioned points, then you should learn to welcome change effectively. Most times, challenges are resultant effects of changes, so we should learn to welcome them. If you cannot welcome change, then you may not be able to overcome challenges. Of course, changes can also lead to challenges and vice versa, so you have to respond constructively to changes. Furthermore, for every challenge that comes your way, there may be a change that will be initiated.

However, one should also note that you do not have to wait for changes to occur spontaneously or for people to initiate a change for you - you may not like their own change, and it may be challenging to you. So in view of this, you have to know when to initiate your own change and then deal with the consequences and challenges coming from it. In all these things, you have to always have in mind that growth, development, success, achievements, learning, and evening evolution are all impossible without challenges. So instead of looking at challenges as something negative, try to have a positive disposition about it and it will become your ally.
