As i continue with my studies each day i always ask myself some question. What life is all about? Meaning of life but i have a guess of what it is. Its about creating friendship and achieving your God given purpose in life. Do you think that everyone achieves his dream or the purpose God bestowed to him. I doubt but what might be the reason behind not achieving your purpose. I have no definite answer in my head but i think it is the lack of trust and faith in yourself that you can make it despite the difficulties around the issue that really make people to give up. Trusting in God and praying to him reveals an assurance that he still loves you and wishes to walk with you in this life journey. Many are the times we end up hating ourselves and God loves us still despite the mad in our faces.and as the saying goes when we are about to succeed its the time we give up and fall.
Some personal values we need to captivate in ourselves are-:
1. GRIT and DETERMINATION - Grit is the most precious values to develop in yourself. Grit calls for perseverance during trying moments. Grit has to be tied together with passion. When you love what you are doing or know want you want this builds this driving force within you that wants nothing less of your target. This indomitable spirit to achieve the long term goals is key to become successful and brings satisfaction to you. Fear of failing should be seen as part of the process to achieve your goal not the end of the journey
2. POSITIVE ATTITUDE- I have noted that those who have accomplished so much have something called positive attitude towards situations.Like you can ask yourself what can be positive in difficulties. For some they just see darkness in all this arkward cirmustances but some see light at the end of the tunnel. You have the ability to control your attitude. The words you speak, action you take are out of your attitude. The way you interact with people boils down to your attitude. Some of the ways you can build positive attitude is through surrounding yourself with positive minds(Positive peer pressure), sieving what you see and hear and walk away from negative stories. Beginning in a positive foot that truly what i am doing will successed most times tends to attract success in that.You must make positive attitude to become a habit in you.
FOCUS and DISCIPLINE -Focus to me simply means having a direction of wherever we want to be. Focus helps to develop discipline in life as you are able to avoid distractions. We need to captivate this virtue in ourselves as it helps us become more effective in what we decide to do and helps us maintain in our line despite the very tempting issues in our environment. It builds mental toughness. Focus is first created by being prepared and aware of what lies ahead of me even before i begin. Focus is pulling back and reason and making a decision out of external influences. You need to also have limits and put borders to allow yourself grow and develop in what you feel you wish to achieve.
Having a objective and performance statement will be very important as it helps us keep on one focus to achieve that we have committed to ourselves especially in very difficult situations.
Conclusion
You can achieve whatever you eye yourself to achieve you need just confidence, trust in God and Grit and patience to make it.
Have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and GRITTY MOMENT each Day and Second of your life.
