A word from a "friend"

UNTAPPED RESERVES OF RESOURCEFULNESS

You have potentials, talents, wise words, abilities, strength trapped inside of you; all you need is a little push to activate them and get them working for you.

Challenges and mistakes are signs of growth; they show that you are taking new steps and trying new things and they come with lessons to learn and benefits to obtain which can only be gotten if you have the right attitude. Scott Hamilton said, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude”.

Our mistakes and challenges can be difficult and painful that we would want to give up. But Winston Churchill said, “We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival”. These mistakes and challenges should not make you quit pursuing your goals for it has a time lapse. Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen, not to quit.

Challenges bring forth the untapped reserves of resourcefulness by stimulating your creative juices. It is a test of your moral foundation. “The darkest moments can turn out to be the brightest” says Arthur Prince.

Do not relent because of your mistakes; I know there can be really discouraging. They make you feel foolish, unwise and untalented. They make you look down on yourself, but don’t stay at that point of suffering, get back on your feet and keep moving. “Never admit failure until you have made your last attempt. Never make your last attempt until you have succeeded” says Dr. E. L. Kramer.

Accept that mistakes and challenges are part of life and growth. Put up a positive attitude towards these mistakes and challenges because they will bring out the best in you. Learn your lessons from them and push forward.

Ever feel you need a higher power? God is just a prayer away. Say the words.
