Finding success in your disappointment

Finding success in your disappointment

Life is indeed 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to what happens to you. This statement will remain true anytime, any day. The mentality is key to winning this journey of life.

Yes, it is easier said than done when one is faced with a seemingly difficult and disappointing situation. No matter how prepared we are, life will always happen. Yes, nobody plans for anything bad to happen but they still happen.

Most times we tend to be so optimistic though that's not bad, so we forget that life is a two-end journey to give room for uncertainties. Don't get me wrong you need optimism(faith) to be alive and thriving. Sometimes despite the optimism, things don't still work out.

Should we give up on life? No

Life will always happen. To assume everything will always be perfect is the greatest lie one can ever tell himself or herself.

So how does one find a way out of every disappointment? A simple answer is a question of mindset. You can hardly overcome any upset or disappointment with a negative mentality.

With a superior mindset and thought pattern, you can overcome and turn any disappointing situation or circumstance into a stepping stone.

Life will always favour bravery, not the faint-hearted. You can't afford to wail and complain anytime things don't go your way, dust yourself and get going.

Life will never be rosy every time, this is what makes life worth living.

Whatever has not killed you is an invitation to your next level. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The true test of your strength is not when the going is good but when the going gets tough.

Have had a fair share of disappointing moments in every stage of my life ranging from growing up to teenager and adulthood. Most notably in 2013 when I was homeless, yes I have been homeless. I decided not to go back to the village during the ASUU strike of that year. I had to put up with a friend whose girlfriend didn't find it funny, I had to save my face and leave. God bless my friend, he tried his best to put up with me.

Every time I find myself in a seemingly difficult and unfavorable situation, God through willpower always comes through.

The unintended will happen.

The unimaginable will surface.

The unexpected will strike.

The incredible will show up.

Nobody is immune to the uncertainties of life but you have to succeed amid the uncertainties, this is what makes life thick.

The unplanned will strike you, but you should find a reason to keep going despite what life throws at you that is the reason you're still alive.

The secret to overcoming any difficult situation to success is developing strong willpower. Your willpower is the real power, not the physical strength we brag about.

Willpower is an internal strength that is capable of seeing you through any difficult situations without giving up on life. You can turn any disappointment into a blessing if you have the real power (Willpower). It is a gift God gives to every creature of His. Most times we don't understand what we carry until we are faced with circumstances that require what we carry inside.

If it has not killed you, you can turn it to your advantage. The greatest of successes were not a smooth sail but from struggles and disappointments of life. You will not achieve anything worthwhile if you think life will always play to your tune.

Every disappointment has a touch of blessing in it, look inward you will find the courage to pull through it successfully. Most times the affinity for sympathy from people denies us that inner strength to sail through our failures to success.

You're worth more.
