Hi All
Just wanted to make a post on some tips I have found good to overcome some of life's challenges. I hope they help (or at least refresh ones memory) to have victory over some of your own ones.
Have faith in Jesus. Now some of you may not believe in God. And thats your choice. But I take seriously (after many years of study) the witnessed event of Jesus rising from the dead as Lord and Saviour, as described in the four gospels of the Bible. And with that prayer and being able to see beyond this world helps to get an eternal perspective on life's challenges.
Believe in Yourself. Tell yourself you can do it. You have a choice to make at every turn. Become wise through books and listening to others that show common sense, wisdom and love.
Turn to Others in times of need. We often have pride, or want to show unreasonable strength of character. But we are all imperfect. And at some stage need to realise we need help. So just ask for it. Try and gain some strong friendships. This includes family and friends. Make sure they are somewhat trustworthy and of a giving nature.
Avoid the Bad Things and People. Bad things include drugs, violence, false ideologies, and immoral sex. All these things lead to ruin, depression and destruction. Avoid bad people too. They will lead you down a dangerous path and even to enslavement and unmentionable things.
Look to the Light. Sew your thoughts and actions in good things. Be wise with money, people and get involved helping others. Even build things. Be selfless but not foolish. Focus on joy, love and productivity.
Well I hope that list is helpful. It has helped me tremendously through some tough situations. But of course nothing is perfect. However, by adopting these things...You will be better placed in this life and in eternity.
Cheers
