Life they say is a continuous process of learning that is full of the bad, good and the best yet many fail to understand one of the best truths that can ever be told which is "'that with these learning comes challenges"'.
Hence, if I were asked today what life is? my simple and short answer would be: Life is the sum total of the challenges that we as entities called humans encounter in our daily living of life. This might be a shock to some because they feel that the above definition about life is really not worth it, but the truth remains clear that without the experiences of life called challenges, life would not really be and living it would become one of the most absurd things that anyone could indulge in.
Therefore, what then are Challenges? Personally, I feel challenges are those experiences either minute or huge that come to arrange our changes, changes either in the negative or positive but its best to align it to the positive. Challenges are really all of those things that gives meaning to the life that you and I lead daily in wheresoever we find ourselves. To some, it makes them realize and discover who they really are and to some it destroys them in totality that they live their life without a glimpse of who they truly are and who they should have been in the course of their daily living of life. A serious question that you and I need ask ourselves today and each time is that, which group of the above mentioned individuals do we belong to?
In respect to this, if you answer is that you belong to the first group of individuals, then I say that you are really on the right path to life where challenges are stepping stones but if for any reason you find yourself in the second group, I sincerely suggest that you sit down either in your closet or a solitary place and rethink about you and your life and at the end set your priority in/of life.
Furthermore, our world is that which is full of challenges, challenges of getting the best, challenges of survival, challenges of recognition, challenges of doing good etc.(the list is endless) but there is this truth that no matter how man tries to outrun the challenges of life, man will never come to that point where in true essence there would be a world free of challenges of whatsoever and then the question of how to live life albeit these challenges arises.
Living life albeit the challenges that it offers is such a hard thing to do but the sure way to living life is the understanding that life itself is a challenge and once this understanding is there within us, there tends to be a satisfaction in that no matter what the experiences of life in the disguise of challenges that comes our ways as humans we sure would never be victims of its stings rather we would be victors over them all because of this understanding which brings about the conviction that no matter how challenging life becomes in our daily living it sure cannot mere us but rather will make us stronger so as to face other challenges that would come our ways in the course of life.
In order words, I am saying that the human mindset is a major player in the facing and overcoming of challenges because the human mind is a power house that propels us to be things that ordinarily we would not even deer to be, as such if we have a mindset that no matter the amount of challenges that we face in life that they cannot and will not make us deviate from who we are and from what we should be, then we sure would be victors all throughout life but when the reverse becomes the case in the human mindset, we see that such a one becomes a total victim who all through life will never see any good of whatsoever in himself and the world at large, hence our mindset gets us closer to fulfilling our destiny in the overcoming of the various challenges of life. How? you may ask.
The answer is that the human mindset is a major player of discovery of the purpose of existence of humans and because when purpose is known abuse becomes evitable, this leads to living life in the fulfillment of the purpose of life of any human in order to gain a lifetime satisfaction of fulfillment and as such in doing of this, destiny becomes the sole goal and aim of life and its daily living which in turn makes us fulfill destiny.
Get this understanding, that fulfilling destiny does not come easy even when there has been the discovery of the purpose of existence but yet it is so easy to fulfill destiny despite the encounter of challenges that would come just to make us drift out of the lane of destiny. How?. This is made possible by the choice and decisions we make as towards overcoming these challenges in order to fulfill our destiny. Why?. Because Our choices and decisions are key players in our daily life, as such these choices and decisions we make as humans in the course of fulfilling destiny can either make or destroy us. And when they make us, we fulfill destiny but when they destroy us, we do get blinded from our destiny.
Finally, it is not how well you can overcome challenges because of your mindset, choices or decisions that matters here but what matters here the most is what you do daily after you have overcome the various challenges that comes your way while living life. Hence the pattern of life you live and lead is a serious issue you really need to iron out because the challenges of life are ever new each and every new day; as such your mindset, choices and decisions of today might not be of any help in overcoming the challenges of tomorrow. Hence, it becomes so important that you lubricate the wheel of your mindset, choices and decisions daily by taking time out each and every time to set out your life vision and mission statement. why do thing? You ought to do this so that each now and then you can point at something that governs your whole life and as such you won't miss out in overcoming life challenges.
Always remember this, "Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are"- BERNICE JOHNSON REAGON
