Overcome Challenges

This is my entry to @Jane ‘s sponsorship for having reached 500 subscribers.

Her question is : “How do you overcome challenges that life throws at you?”

Challenges are everywhere, every day. The act of waking up in the morning is already a challenge and at the same time a blessing.

PRAY

Having the capacity to pray is one of the things to overcome such challenges. Once our parish priest said, in one of his sermons, “DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER AND YOUR POWER TO PRAY”.

The greatest challenge that we are all facing in this time of pandemic is that we cannot see who or where our enemies are, PRAYER, then is the only constant savior we can turn to.

CROCHET

Another way I cope up with challenges is to immerse myself with my hobby which is crocheting.  

Challenges create stress and working on my crochet makes me stress-less. It also helps me during some financial challenges as I was able to sell by handmade.

PLANTS

Caring for plants is another way to cope up stress and challenges. This is what I found out during these pandemic times. Having been in quarantine for the past six months has given me a lot of time to care for the plants. Looking for ways on how to propagate them has been a welcome challenge.

And again, this helps me cope up with my financial challenges as I was able to sell some of them too.

PERSEVERANCE

Be persistent in what you want to achieve. This will help you become successful amidst challenges. (Lead image shows the trees below the mountain that we climb despite a lot of challenges along the way)

KINDNESS

In any way, you are being challenged or bullied by somebody, do not counteract , instead show them some kindness. The impact is great and it will make you a happy and satisfied person.

Be considerate to others, it is not only you who are facing challenges.  They say, a simple act of kindness creates an endless ripple that might come back to you.

BE GENEROUS

In these times, pandemic or not, but especially during the pandemic, it is not only you who is being challenged every day. There are lots who are being challenged on what to put on the table for dinner. There are those who were laid off from work.

Share some of your blessings and you will receive blessings a thousand fold.

BE GRATEFUL… and again…. PRAY

At the end for the day, give thanks to the Lord for the blessings that you have received. Thank Him for overcoming any challenges that comes your way during the day.

This is the best way to end the day.

GOD BLESS US ALL AND MAY YOU ALL OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES THAT COMES YOUR WAY!

Thanks for giving the time to read.

Spread Love, not hate!
