Exercising your mind (Part two)

Your attitude toward challenges is what determines your success or triumph over them. There are two major attitudes that people put up when they are faced with challenges. The first one is **REACTION.** Many people react to problems, but this is a negative attitude, because it does not provide solutions to the problems. Apart from leaving you confused, it leads to resentment and then to frustration. Most often, people who reacts to problems always find someone or something to blame for their predicament, not realizing that you only remain lame for as long as you blame. The second one is **RESPONSE.** People who respond to challenges are the ones who find solutions easily. When they respond to challenges, you change trials into testimonies, and convert the problems into programs of advancement. But when you react, you complicate issues. Responding rather than reacting create the right atmosphere to finding solutions to problems. Instead of reacting to the needs around you. lnstead of reacting and asking "why?" respond and ask, "how?" Or "what can be done?". That way you are bound to find solutions. What to do with Challenges 1. "Commonize" Them Do not **classify** your problem; those who **classify** their problems have **magnified** them. The challenges facing you are common to humanity. Others have overcome the same or even worse situations, so never allow any problem or challenge to take away the smile from your face. Disregard the difficulties and set your self to get the solution that you require. 2. **EMBRACE AND ENGAGE THEM** Do not run away from challenges. Embrace them and then begin to engage them in a mental wrestle by thinking through till you break through. Face challenges in order to phase them out. 3. **CONVERT THEM** Problems are raw materials for programmes and they're only waiting for you to convert them. Convert your obstacles to miracles and your enemy throws stone at you rather than throw them back at him, catch them and use them. He is losing ground while you are gaining ground. Turn every criticism to publicity.. In conclusion. Problems never leave you the way they met you. They either stretch or shrink you. You shrink when you dodge challenges, but you stretch when you face them. Challenges either make or break you; they either increase or decrease you. 💪💪 "Remember that "Challenges make life exciting".
