Inspiration Through Challenges

in #life5 years ago

I would love to start this piece by saying that "if the success of others does not challenge you to do better than what you are doing then you have a problem or that you have signed up for failure".

The above statement may seem too rough or not acceptable by many but that is the truth. If the success of others does not challenge you to improve on what you have always done, then what else will inspire you to do better?

My friend, it's time to pick up challenge from the success of others and let it be a source of inspiration to you. If you see the success of people as no challenge to you then you may never see any need to improve on what you are doing. And if the success of others makes you feel jealous rather than being inspired then you might waste your life hunting people who are not responsible for your woes in life!

I was not born with a silver spoon as people put it but when I look at the lives of people who are making it in life, I say to myself that I must ensure that my children do not suffer the things I suffered and that is why I use every opportunity that comes my way and is within my reach to improve on my knowledge and skills.

My friend that you were born poor does not mean you should die poor. Yes you were born poor but if you die poor then its your fault and not the faults of your parents. It's not a crime to be born poor but it becomes a crime when you reject every good opportunity to better your life and you choose to remain poor!.

If your poverty level has not given you business ideas then you were never poor!

Complaining about the challenges of your life will never solve any issue in your life but rather will complicate the current small issues of your life and make it bigger by tomorrow.

The hard times you are going through now is nothing new because someone in the past has being through worst event than yours. All you need to do is to read about how they came out of their challenges and follow suit as long as it is not something evil that they did.

Stop complaining of the situations in your life but rather get solutions to them because complains never brings solutions!
