Challenges of Life

Posted bySara HumayunPosted inBlog,Exploring LifeTags:, ,

Life is full of challenges and unexpected situations. It can surprise us at any time. Whenever we think life is flowing smoothly, it puts us in dire straits and says  “say cheese”.It tests our will, determination and courage. It can either rejoice us or demoralise us. Different people react to it differently according to their temperament. It’s outcomes can be exciting or depressing.

How do we react to these challenges?

How do we handle the unexpected?

No pain, no gain. All of us have heard this. We have to grasp at many straws to succeed in life. Nothing comes easy. We face many challenges in life be it bullying at schooling and higher education, confusion in career choice and planning, professional rivalry and jealousy at jobs and not to forget difficulties in marriage or emotional struggles etc. We have got our work cut out for us.

There are two ways of looking at it. Either be coward and accept these as our fate. As most of us do when we face a calamity, we blame our fate for it. The other way of looking at it is by facing it.

Be strong.

Trust your abilities.

Have Faith in yourself.

We are human beings. We have mind , intelligence and wisdom at our disposal. Bravery, patience, determination, courage and resilience are our traits. We can overcome any disaster. We can devise ways to solve any problem.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining.  These challenges can become a blessing in disguise  as well as they teach us new ever time. We can take these as new adventure to add thrill to our life otherwise it would be very boring.

What do you say?

Because In the end what matters most is the journey not the destination. Every journey has something new in its store.

Please do share your thoughts.

  1. It is very important to train ones mind to look at challenges as opportunities and not as threat. When we look at challenges as opportunities we are able to give our best regardless of a little worried feeling. But with anxiety, stress, or panic it becomes extremely difficult to even think properly.

  2. I find facing challenges very similar to praying to God/believing in God. My experiences so far have been.. Hmm.. 🤔

    The more sincerely I face it, the more number of challenges are thrown at me ; just like the more my faith in Him strengthens, the more I feel my soul being polished by him, hence more difficult circumstances to deal with, as in He is testing my character and strength, only to make me a better person.

    We should gracefully accept and face the challenges, that’s the only way to move forward, or backwards, in case He wants to slow us down for a while. Stillness is not a good sign. 😊

    1. I believe He wants us to think where we went wrong in these time. We should do our best to do the best in our lives and leave the rest to Him. We have been told that we will confront two ways one would lead to good and other to evil now what is our test we have to choose the good whether the evil may seem very tempting .

  6. No pain, no gain. That’s what I believe in. The amount of struggle and hardwork we put into something is directly proportional to the amount of happiness/success we get in return. So we should embrace every challenge thrown at us, and try completing it with full vigour without caring about the outcome. My parents taught me that in a young age…and I’ve always stood by those ethics.

  7. Challenges make you more stronger, more desperate to chase your dreams no matter what happens what hurdles come your way during the journey, most importantly, it connects you to Almighty, they way you’re connected, the way you’ve attained that level of trust and belief in Him, I don’t think any thing else can be more wonderful than this feeling!!😍🌷
    May Almighty give all of us the power and the strength to face all kinds of challenges and May we become closer to Him every passing day..!! Aameen🌺
