So far as we are humans, trouble and challenges will always come. They will be there because they are part of our existence. But the ability to overcome and ride over them is the key, so how do we overcome these seeming challenges we face on almost a daily basis? The more reason we should appreciate @goodybest for the opportunity she created through this post for us to be able to express our thoughts.
Share your life experience with us and how you're thriving even with challenge(s)?
Resilience for me means being strong, having the ability to stand difficult situations and not give up too easily. Resilient spirit is very important in the face of difficulties and hardship.
Stating from a personal life experience, I have withstood many difficulties in life, even growing up as a child. I can't discuss everything, but I kept pressing on. Working hard, believing in me and trusting God for everything.
You see, another thing is that being born in Nigeria and being a Nigerian, especially at this time, needs resiliency. We have to be patient, wise, strong and determined to fight through it.
I get inspired by the word of God so much. Many times I've felt like giving up, but whenever I read the Bible, I get encouraged, I get inspired and lifted and I also read books a lot.
Besides faith in God's word, I speak to myself every time. I confidently call myself to order, advise myself and make some certain decisions, make rules for myself. Not only that, I make sure that I follow the decisions and rules.
I work hard and believe in myself. I believe everything will fall back or will work out. I believe challenges are part of life and that others made it through and that I'll surely make it through too. Those are the things that keep me going.
There's a saying that "tough time don't last but tough people do." We all have our challenges. If we were to be sincere and be honest enough to bring out our troubles as they come and showcase them for exchange, you'll know you're not the only one who's facing the same trouble.
Also, know that there are others in the same boat with you. Storms don't last forever, it's just a phase, it'll be over.
Get up! Get going and don't give up. Be like the eagle who soars in the storm, aim to go higher. You'll win. I leave you with this
"1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him."<source
