WE ARE TRAINED BY OUR TROUBLES

Contrary to what you may think,the ideal environment for your growth is not one devoid of problems
That is to say problems are vital in making an individual achieve his goals.let look at great men of history like martin luther king,thomas edison,the wright brothers etc,all these people were trained by their problems
Take Thomas edison for example,history has it that for him to create electricity in a light bulb he had to try 99 times but got no result until the 100th time.Thomas edisson saw his problem as a trainer to achieve his goal and that was what kept him going,so also the wright brothers who created the air-craft despite critics and abuses they saw a solution in their problem and this acceptance of their problems as their trainer led to the invention of the aeroplane which is one of the most used transport system in the world.we can continue to count the great exploits of these great people because all of them recognized their problems as their trainer.
Though its hard to accept ,sometimes to see your problems as your trainer,but you need minor setbacks and dissapointment to propel you to success.major inventions in history came up as a result of problems which these inventors wanted to find solution to.
Nature,however tells us that a tree that is planted in a rain forest is never forced to extend its root downward in search of water.As a result,it remains poorly anchored and can be toppled by even a moderate wind.By contrast the mesequite tree that's planted in a dry desert is threatened by its hostile environment,so it tries to survive by driving its roots thirty feet or more into the earth,seeking for water.by adapting and adjusting to the difficult conditions,the well-rooted tree becomes strong and steady against all assailants.
Nature teaches another lesson about letting our trobles train us.look at the seed when being planted it passes through alot like dampness and even death .but the seed even after facing all these harsh conditions does not relent it pesevere to the end and grows to a tree.God usually use all these to train us only if we listen
We are,however like the two types of trees elucidated above.people who learn to conquer their troubles are better anchored and abled than those who never faced one or ran away from their's .so your task is not to run away from every challenge you face but to.face them squarely and win,because if exams were ran away from then students would not be promoted.a leap over the exams brings success but a leap away brings failure and stagnation.choose wisely.
You need to be confident even in crisis like the biblical joseph,who despite passing so much challenges didn't give up.he allowed himself to be trained by his troubles.you however need tools by which you can use to handle the inevitable problems and pressure of life,these tools can only be found in God,joseph recognized this,clinged to it and he was sucessful even in an alien land.no wonder apostle paul the man of many troubles expresses it this way:"For our light we are afflicted,which is but for a moment,and is working for us".The bottom line is that we are trained by our troubles...
