What you face are challenges; what is still wrapped are possibilities.
You might be able to do something different today that was not possible yesterday.
Life without challenges is hollow.
I know the individuals around me who are living life without goals, aspirations, or responsibilities. They are restricted to breathing, eating, sleeping, and blaming outsiders.
They talk about fate more often than their extreme reluctance to upgrade themselves.
My experiences of taking responsibility and facing challenges in all walks of life—social, personal, professional, or something more—have different stories.
Let us have a glance.
Challenges are gates through which one enters to wonder at the vastness and expanse of the world.
People dislike challenges because they dislike change.
"All genuinely creative ideas are initially met with rejection since they necessarily threaten the status quo," says Eric Weiner.
To be in a state of "no change" is a common tendency of common people. They are called crowds. They do nothing extra, and so they remain static in all stages of life.
A group is backwards not because outside forces are working against them but for the reasons—fears, threats, and hopelessness—they have grown with.
It is obvious that the channels that give shape to our journey of life are backgrounds, stories we are told in childhood, type of education, the profession we choose, our daring to be different, and our power of conquering obstacles every now and then.
Everyone has separate challenges, experiences, support systems, resources, and cuculture. So their performances differ.
"Follow your heart, listen to your inner voices, and stop caring what others think." Roy Bennett
You are not supposed to oppose everything, nor do you have to accept them without questioning their relevance.
This line of thinking is a testimony that you are a challenge seeker.
And then challenges prod you to work harder and stay with the processes irrespective of the amount of time, energy, and attention it requires.
Opportunities are seldom open. They are wrapped with unattractive covers.
A wise person looks beyond what is visible. They stay to know, "What is this?" They get involved in the process. They know the outcome may be anything.
The world is growing simply because there are people who are working on "unknown territories.". They connect theories with actual happenings. They believe in an abundance of natural gifts.
They make things happen.
Rising people use the mind as a mirror, and they adjust it to see the paths leading to a better life, repeatedly.
Raise efforts wherever necessary. Never take the route of excuses to escape shame, guilt, and blame.
Doubts stop you from moving forward. Let the doubts provide space to redouble your efforts.
Doubts are strong wrappers of opportunities.
Let your imagination wander far and wide.
Imagination is a bridge between possible and impossible. Create more and more such bridges.
Just look at your past for a moment and evaluate yourself on the role of imagination in your self-discovery.
Avoid overgeneralization of your efforts and results.
You have to walk extra miles to be extraordinary.
