Embracing Life’s Challenges: How Real-Life Tests Shape Growth, Purpose, and Success

Life always has its own challenges and tests. Real-life testing occurs not when all is going well but when we have challenges and great life experiences. Life, as we all know, sometimes has its ups and downs. It includes different events and issues arising, and that is where our life experience comes in. Life experience is sometimes considered a Life Test. As human beings, we always want to make the world a better place.

We always have a purpose in life, and committing to that purpose is a necessity, and it is the beginning or foundation of every good thing that comes our way in life. Whatever we are doing, we need to do it right because time waits for nobody, and life waits for no one. We must keep moving and doing what we love doing best. 

There is a quotation that I love by an unknown author, which says, “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Appreciate those who treat you well, disregard those who do not, and consider that everything occurs for a reason. When opportunities arise, take them. If they alter your life, accept it.

No one said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it. Author Unknown Facing your goals and purpose early makes life easier and more understandable, leading to achievements and wonderful things. As we all know, life challenges include finance, relationships, work, and more, but they all revolve around achievement of life, and the more achievements we have of our dreams and goals, the better for us.

The past always holds us down, and due to this, we always fear to make a leap of fate or try other things, but many a time, this becomes a great hindrance to us and our progress. As the saying goes, “nothing ventured nothing gained”, our experience of life is a great instrument or tool that will help us in getting to our destination. If used properly and diligently, no matter what the situation, making that leap of fate is our key to stardom, progress, miracle, and greatness.

 For us to achieve our goals as bloggers, writers, engineers, lawyers, or whatever you are. The process of goal setting is the answer to most of our needs. It helps to focus on what we want or need to do and not what others assume we should do, and this will surely help in your life accomplishments.

 It is always a good thing to instigate change and transformation and, if possible, be the one to shine the light for others to follow. As we all know, life is full of opportunities. Getting hold of the best opportunities is the greatest fulfillment of life.

Real-life testing: 

Often, there are Important opportunities found in everyday events. Our abilities and attitude to life are factors that could bring about our success in life. The challenges and life experiences could be stressful and, at the same time, challenging and boring. That does not mean we should give up because there is always joy in the morning. Try being consistent and persevere no matter how tough and difficult. “Are you bored with life? Dedicate yourself fully to work you believe in, and you will find happiness. Dale Carnegie

WHAT HAS BEEN THE SCARIEST LIFE EXPERIENCE FOR YOU THIS YEAR

ONE OF THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCE I’VE HAD WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.  IT WAS A QUIET AND BRIGHT NIGHT AND THE MOON WAS UP IN THE SKY AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I CAME OFF THE RAMP TO THE COUNTRY ROAD AND I WAS HAVING FUN LISTENING TO MUSIC AND I GOT CLOSE TO MY WORK PLACE.  EVERY WHERE WAS QUIET AS USUAL AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A MODERATE SPEED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME ONE OF THE TIRES WENT FLAT AND I STARTED STRUGGLING WITH THE WHEEL AND IT GOT TO A STAGE THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL IT ANYMORE AND BEFORE I KNEW IT,  THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD AND WENT THROUGH SOME  ROCK AND INTO THE BUSH AND HIT  LITTLE SET OF TREES AND STARTED SMOKING. IT WAS REALLY A SCARY MOMENT FOR ME THIS YEAR, I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT KIND OF SCARY EVENT IN MY LIFE.

LIFE IS FULL OF CHALLENGES AND EXPERIENCES WHICH SOMETIMES MAKES SOME EVENTS SCARY DEPENDING ON THE INCIDENT.

REACTING OVER PAST EXPERIENCES OF LIFE

THE THOUGHTS OF THINKING ABOUT THE PAST AND STILL HOLDING UNTO IT AND REACTING WITH IT

Being humans that we are , we all do have history and experiences from the past right from when we were born till now, we all do have different phases to life and the circumstances that call for this are of different kinds but, one way or the other we do have our different life experiences and some are good and wonderful, some are mild and some are very bad, that its difficult to forget and some of us hold unto this past experiences and wallow in them and we allow it to affect the present life in which we live in, thereby holding grudges with the past. Experience as they say, is a good and probably the best teacher, it is a special cane which makes you learn and use the incident that brought about that experience as a tool for caution and a tool for bringing awareness to others, for them to know what life is all about and som people express this experiences in different ways through movies,music,comedy and other means of communications.

Reacting with experiences

Life is full of challenges and sometimes its good to have them because they are lessons of life which carry us along, but some people hold unto this and refuse to let go and use it as a yardstick to vindicate other people who come across their part, especially someone who has been in a very bad relationship and having come out of it, most times have the thought that all are bad, just like some women will say men are bad because of what she went through in her last or previous  relationships, forgetting that everybody is not and can never be the same, for the fact that you had bad experience with the previous person is not a criteria for same experience with your new acquaintance the reason being that our upbringing, orientation, background and ways we were individually brought up has never been and will never be the same which brings about changes in people and character differences.

Out of body experience

Whatever life has presented in the past either good or bad should never be a yardstick for reaction towards the present  negatively or towards whomever we come across in the future, for life has to continue. we should use our experiences as a lesson or means of caution for future occurrences. we should focus on the present  and the future  and hope for better life and not keep feeling bad about what happened months and  years ago and letting it affect our new friends and acquaintances or whomever we are dealing with.

THE CHOICE OF BEING STRONG

HMMMMMM!, IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET TO THE CROSS ROAD AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO REALISE AND IT ALSO TAKES A WHILE TO BE STRONG BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY CHOICE YOU HAVE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE AT A CROSS ROAD OR IN A TIGHT CORNER WHERE CONFUSION SETS IN AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD, BUT REMAIN THERE THINKING OF WHAT TO DO DUE TO LIFE PROBLEMS, BUT WITH THE SITUATION AS IT IS WE JUST HAVE TO BE STRONG.

being strong is a hard choice to make

being strong and making a choice

TRANSPIRING OUR EVERYDAY LIVES WE ALL HAVE CHALLENGES WHICH LOOKS US STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, IT’S LIKE THE CASE OF A WOMAN WHO’S HUSBAND IS IN THE MILITARY AND IS BEING DEPLOYED, THE ORPHAN WHO MISSES HIS OR HER PARENTS, THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE WHEN PARENTS SHOULD BE THERE FOR THEM, THE MAN WHO WENT TO SEE A DOCTOR AND HE IS TOLD THAT HE HAS A SHORT LIFE TO LIVE BECAUSE OF A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS THAT TAKES UP RESIDENCE IN HIS SPINAL CORD, THE MAN THAT HAD HIGH HOPES FOR A PARTICULAR JOB AND GETS DISAPPOINTED, THE MAN LOOKING FOR ADMISSION AND COULDN’T GET IT, WHAT ABOUT THE CONTRACT YOU HAD HIGH HOPES FOR AND IT COMES TO SHAMBLES?, THE MONEY YOU WERE EXPECTING FROM THE BANK TO EXECUTE YOUR PROJECT AND DISAPPOINTMENT SETS IN. ALL THIS PEOPLE ARE ON A CROSS ROAD OF CONFUSION AND THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE STRONG IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT THE SITUATION IS.  IN MOST CASES A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW STRONG THEY CAN BE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNHAPPY THEY STILL REMAIN STRONG.

to be strong is a choice you dont have in critical situation

be strong no matter what

CHALLENGES OF A RELATIONSHIP

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Every relationship has its own challenges and in reality, challenge is like someone trying to calculate mathematics and having a test on english,but the result of the calculation and test is what really counts. whatever the case or situation,life is full of challenges, and there are various kinds of challenges e.g challenges in marriage,parenting,life challenges, social issues.in the same way,human beings cannot occupy the same space=like a home or office.without transgressing and offering others,that is why families,work places,churches,schools and neighborhoods can become hotbeds of human conflict and suffering.

In reality humans can be messy and hurtful.we don’t really want to be that way, we don’t intend harm,but most of us have  caused and received many relational injuries.We have all one way or the other insulted or  injured our parents, siblings,spouse ,children and a lot of other people.

With every challenge comes forgiveness.We have to forgive and forget and that is the only way we can overcome some challenges .The ‘result for challenges and forgiveness is simply a decision to let go of our regrets and our own view or justice.so getting rid of your partner does not get rid of the problem you have ,because half of the “problem” is yours . You can walk out on your relationship, but you can’t run away from yourself, no matter how hard you try! Rather than blaming each other, couples can learn how to work as a team and coach each other through the troubled times and power struggles.

In order to avoid any kind of regrets or challenges in a relationship we must :

  • Learn to forgive others
  • Learn to deal with physical distance in marriage
  • we must try to resolve what ever conflict we have .sleepless nights,headaches,stomach pain can all result from unresolved conflict at work
  • try not to be a workaholic, so that your kids will not miss you and you will see them often
  • No matter what situation you find yourself into,you must learn to love your partner.

DO PETS OR ANIMALS NEED DAYCARE OR NOT?

SOMETIMES I SAY TO MY SELF,COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE DAYCARE FOR PETS OR NOT?, AND I USE TO WONDER WHY SOME PEOPLE TAKE THERE PETS ON A LONG JOURNEY,WHEN THEY COULD ACTUALLY KEEP THEM SOMEWHERE, IN MANY CASES SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE RELATIVES WHO CAN, DO ASK THEM TO COME OVER TO THEIR PLACE AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR MANY PETS UNTIL THEY COME BACK.

English: Houston, Texas, October 1, 2008 -- Hu...

I HAVE SEEN CASES WHERE PEOPLE CANCEL THERE TRAVELS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS NOBODY TO HANDLE THEIR PETS FOR THEM , UNLESS THEY HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF LODGING THEM IN HOTELS THAT PERMIT PETS, THEN THEY TAKE THEM ALONG.  I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IF PEOPLE CAN GO TO SO MUCH TROUBLE IN MAKING SURE THERE PETS ARE HAPPY, WHICH IS RIGHT, THEN IS IT NOT BETTER TO HAVE DAYCARE FOR PETS/ANIMALS?, WHERE  THEY CAN TAKE THEM TO.  THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE CHALLENGES ON HOW TO HANDLE AND MANAGE PETS FOR DAYCARE PURPOSE, FORTUNATELY CHANGING OF DIAPERS  IS NOT NECESSARY BUT,  MORE INTERESTING THINGS CAN BE DONE LIKE FEEDING,TAKING THEM OUT ON A WALK,EXERCISE THEM,SHOW THEM LOVE AND ATTENTION AND PEEING THEM.
