Pulse Blogger: Overcoming challenges

Life is, most days, unpredictable at best, and not knowing what might come next can be frightening. We often spend so much time avoiding change, fear, and sadness that we forget to enjoy life.

Challenges are fast becoming inseparable in many living entities. It is the impulse for innovation and creativity building as well sustaining development.

In contrast, challenge has appeared to serve as the big barricade in achieving a goal and the impossibility for fulfilling a dream.

If you don’t want a shark to bite you, then you should never swim in the ocean. If you don’t want a bee to sting you, then never stop to smell the roses.

And if you don’t want your heart to break, then never fall in love. But in avoiding these possible outcomes, you will miss out on so many of the experiences you would enjoy.  

In recent time, I have discovered that the vision of anyone who can shape his actions and decisions, notwithstanding the circumstances and mitigating conditions that tends to oppose the successful accomplishment of this vision. Although, these virtual and repulsive conditions are seen as obstacles but overcoming them makes a dream feasible.

Overcoming challenges is like a bath taken daily in other to become the man in the big picture and achieve any set goal. Every landmark people made in any sphere can be traceable to the challenges they overcome.

Challenges are one of the motivating and interesting components of growth, it helps you develop your talent and recognize unique things you can contribute to the society. Many a time, I have deliberately taken different roles in the affairs of my profession and community, and in all these a challenge must be overcome to achieve the sole purpose.

The capacity to overcome a challenge must be built and integrated to the roadmap for attaining a zenith, else bowing becomes inevitable. Just like the saying “we don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges”. This is what motivates leaders and world influencers to crave for resolutions in the presence of challenges.   

As we try to overcome our challenges to excel in our talents and skills. Let us be cautioned not to be satisfied with “good” but to work for excellence.
