Adversity is a crazy thing – I am highly motivated to help those in need, while others couldn’t care less. I let myself have pity parties, I sobbed those big ugly tears that toddlers have perfected and the rest of us just imitate. I let myself wallow and then, while I dried my eyes and blew my nose, I reevaluated my plan. How did I get to this point where I felt so low? What might have caused it? What could I do differently? What wasn’t working and what was? Was there a possibility to come at this from an angle I hadn’t thought of before? Instead of being defeated, I used my anguish as fuel to refocus.
Rejection is never easy – I realized that there were going to be a never-ending line of people ready to tell me no and explain in detail why I couldn’t do something. I could accept that, which would mean giving up on my dream, or I could keep pushing forward.
Dealing with life’s difficulties, I developed an invaluable strength. My struggles taught me to be resourceful and find a way out of a situation. I knew that if I could constantly assure myself that I was going to get what I wanted, I’d have a much easier time maintaining my focus. I wrote down a quotation that I found to be motivational on a post-it and put it on my vision board opposite my bed. Such a quotation can be anything that can remind you of what you want and reaffirm what it is you’re doing. Mine is “Your suffering should drive you.”
It is never too early or too late to pursue an idea whose time has come. Never lose hope, work hard and pray for the strength to endure a tough one that leads to greatness.
So follow your heart, believe in yourself and take the leap.
Yes! Let’s do it! 👊

Guess a bounce back is always best…thanks @ddright
Uwem, I share your position.
Truly inspiring @ddright, sucker games ain’t fun…thank you so much
My pleasure. Thank you so much for the nice comment!
Daaaaaami! I’m proud of you. God truly loves you.
Nice one. I can relate. You know my story na. Lol.
In tough times we discover who our true friends are, but most importantly who we are. Such times just seem to occur to reveal the giant in us- the real YOU. Though, often many are too impatient to see this and thereby miss their way totally. Some even commit suicide. If only they knew better.
Many get angry with God at that point, even to the extent of wondering if truly He exists. Some even drift further away from Him, when all they need do at that point is draw nearer to Him for help and directions.
The truth is, we often depend on our strength, intelligence, ideas and links/connections, but what happens when all these fail us? We fall apart. It is the more reason, why we need to draw nearer to God for Grace especially in tough times instead of drifting away from Him and blaming Him for our woes/trials.
Strength or hard work or skills or abilities or intelligence or links without Grace often produce short-lived results/achievement with much struggles. Trust me, I’ve been there. God is ever ready and waiting for us. He never forces Himself on us….but, we need Him.
My take is; never make the same mistake twice, by simply depending wholly on your hard work or strength or skill or ideas, etc. neglecting your creator (God). It’s a big mistake.
God bless you, Dami. May He bless the work of your hands and supply you with greater ideas that will take you to a higher height. Once again, I’m proud of you. #wink
Dear Sylva,
Just like yesterday. I remembered when you were going through a rough patch. I’m glad you are here to tell a brief version of your story. It’s never as easy as we’d like it to be, but forgetting is a necessity in instances that call for us to leave the past in the past. By being alive right now, you have a future.
Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate your note 😍.
Thank you for this. Rough times are hard but by the Grace of God we survive and become great.
Remarkable
👍 Thanks.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I
figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting

The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to
ask!
