How To Make The Most Out Of Any Challenge
Harry came very early to work and was lamenting, saying things like “I’m finished, I’m done for! How do I do this thing now, I can’t even do anything”. All those words and panic were for a task that was given to him to finish in 3 days. The task was meant to be a stressful one but yet an educative one that lessons should be learned from if observant. Harry didn’t stop to think of the lessons, the only thing Harry saw was an impossible task. Well, Harry definitely blew it up in less than 3 days because of his Short-sightedness (I’ll explain).
Then again, in the same office, we had Ben; who had the same task and with the same number of days, but Ben saw the task as a challenge that will definitely be taken care of. Ben was calm and took one step at a time. Ben finished that task in 3 days and was awarded. His secret was that he saw the task as a stepping stone to success. All he did was put in the effort with a victory perspective!
Here’s my question: WHAT DO YOU SEE?
I said Harry was short-sighted because all Harry saw was something that was impossible, something that was bigger than him, something he could never have completed. But on the other hand Ben saw a challenge, he saw an avenue to grow and be better, he saw an avenue to learn, and guess what? It appeared exactly the way he saw it!! So hey, how you see things that happen around you matters a lot!!! How you see the challenges before you matters a lot!! Generally, the normal human mind is powerful, how whatever we see and set our mind to do eventually comes out that way. How much more is the mind of Christ (the mind of a believer).
The Bible says that “We have the mind of Christ!!”. Woo!! So powerful!! So I see myself victorious in the midst of challenges. I see strength even when I’m weak. Please it’s not MAGIC, it’s the way God fashioned the human mind. All you need do is SEE IT, THINK IT and it becomes your REALITY. So your mind is not just there to fantasize, it’s there to create things with it!! You don’t like how things are going in your life? See yourself the way you want it to be, then everything; your mouth and your actions are then affected by what you’ve seen.
Lastly, when you see the right picture, it prompts you to speak the right words and the right actions too!! So here’s my word to you SEE RIGHT!!!!! God bless you!
