Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, and along the way, we encounter numerous challenges that test our resilience, determination and strength, though it may be tempting to shy away from those challenges, but most times they often present valuable opportunities for personal growth.
2024 was really a rough and tough year for me, filled with unexpected pains, regrets, tears e.t.c. that prompted me to ask so many questions, it was as if I've gotten to the very last point of life, where all hope was gone, searching for who to confide in and share the pains and burdens of my heart, but found none. It was there I realized that challenges can only capitalize on our weakness to break or destroy us, and that is possible when we give fear a foot hole over the challenges we're faced with. And though with the pain, sorrow, tears e.t.c we can redirect our thoughts and overcome the issues of life with faith, determination, positivity e.t.c
It's normal to be overwhelmed by challenges, but never lose hope in the future ahead of you. As I often say, challenges come to build a stronger and better person in us, bringing out the best version in us, also teaching us the lessons of life of which we were ignorant of, bringing to our consciousness that we are in a world full of trouble.
There are certain challenges that one thinks they can manage, but it wasn't the same with me, but most of the challenges I was faced with in 2024, I wasn't able to manage them, even when i tried, yet to no avail, it got to a point that my health was at sterk, because I was physically down (health wise), and I wasn't getting better, i later went for some test, and the test result indicates that i was fine, but I knew something was wrong with me, I tried to explained to the doctor, so he prescribed some medications to me which I took, yet no improvement. And even with these, I was also in pain emotionally, at a point i thought it was my emotions that was eating my body, but i discovered that it wasn't, it became worse by the day and every aspect of my life was on a stand still, and it was frustrating because I didn't know what to think nor do, but in all God gave me hope and showed me the way out, also restored me in all angles and gave me a new insight and direction.
But in all I never lose hope, I trusted in the Lord for the restoration in my health and in my emotions, and He did it, he renewed my strength, though that was one of the least challenges i faced last year, because there are others.
Though with all these, I had to focused my attention and the little strength left in me on the powerful transformative process that awaits me, because It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the problems we encounter, however, dwelling on the problem only prolongs the challenge and never brings a solution.
I accepted that moment as a phase in my life where I get to grow and change my mindset and belief pertaining to life, and that helped develop my ability to persevere and remain positive. Cultivating a growth mindset by embracing challenges, brings about persisting in the face of obstacles, and learning from failures, thus; maintaining a positive attitude and staying focused even in the face of adversity brings out a better version of ourselves.
Though it takes time, effort and perseverance to overcome challenges, but its outcome is significant bringing about growth, confidence,fulfillment and satisfaction, self-awareness and self-efficacy as well as a sense of purpose and direction.
Though in all, challenges are inevitable in life, but by embracing them and adopting a positive mindset, can turn them into stepping stones for personal growth, also developing resilience and finding strength to keep moving forward is the key to standing firm.
