RE: Stay Strong. I, Contributed by @Olawalium

in #strength6 years ago

When situations threaten us and try to take away our peace, we should learn to stay strong.

Our actions and reactions when confronted with situations determines the size of those situations. If we are filled with "I can", then the size of the problem reduces, but the feelings of "I can't" would only magnifies the problem.

When there is a mountain on your path, you don’t just sit down at its foot and cry, you need to stand up and take the step towards climbing it. One step you take is one less step you need to take.

Taking the first step with boldness would make you to understand that their is nothing to the mountain than just a mare footsteps who was given to support your foot as you are climbing up.

Personal story

I was facing with the mountain of failure back then in primary school, I was so poor to the extent of writing my common entrance examination three times (I'm sure non of you can beat that) smile

I was filled with so much fear, I was thinking probably school is not meant for a poor boy like me, but I kept ressing, I kept reading even when I don't know what was written in the book to learn, I kept staring at it with the desire to know what was inside the book. Smile

I just noticed that I was building confidence as a result of my willingness to learn and my problem was becoming little gradually, I tried the common entrance again and I made my papers, not very well, but their was an improvement.

That was the last time I ever failed in my academic life, if I have stopped before I even tried, I'm sure it won't be a testimony today.

Don't be like that guy who has accepted defeat before he gave a trier, you have not fail until you admit to failure

Thank you @olawalium and @communitycoin, waiting for the other part. And looking forward to learn about how you turn what was meant to break you to what made you

I love hearing people's personal experiences, i do learn a lot from it and that is why most of the things I have been sharing are personal experiences too.

Like you said, when you took that bold step to learn, you noticed the problem is not as bad as it looked. Situations try to magnify themselves more than they are and that is what scares us the most. Taking the step towards it always help. You did amazing and you are a living testimony of staying strong. Well done.

Thank you so much brother.
