    • great working on this post awesome ideas and i agree if you decide on something then really you may get this thing and that is because of the energy and the solution that you brain will create for you and show your way so you can do the needed things to reach your goal. really nice to read such thing at morning, so thanks for those wise words

    • That is right. Have to believe no matter how difficult the trials are. If one wants to achieve they’ll do so. Being determined is key. No matter how many try to discourage a person eventually all of the chaos will cease. Keep going anyway.

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, We’ll Learn the Correct Ways in due Time 7 years, 8 months ago

    When having to deal with a lot of challenges, we may not always know exactly how to deal with the challenges effectively, going off the “deep” end won’t help of course. That’s why it’s a good idea to take breaks […]

    • Challenges in life can either make us strong or weak; sometimes it can be an inspiration for a person to strive more and surpass the challenge; or he might succumb to weakness and failure.

      As you said, prayer is good to keep a person strong and decide wisely on the challenges coming his way.

    • Challenges provide a person with a prospect of thinking of how to overcome them. It depends on whether the person is the one who thinks the glass is half full or whether it is half empty. As it is the first category of people who usually tide over the challenges they face whether they be big or small. The ones who keep pondering or thinking too much will let time pass by.

      This is as good as doing the opposite which is jumping into the waters without knowing the depth. Generally I have personally observed successful people are able to turn challenges into success how one turns the pages of a book to read the next page. I think this is the attitude which makes them what they are. A nice article with useful information.

    • Thanks for the inspiring words. Yes, you are right, people today are so judgemental. They will jump into conclusions without first knowing what is going in a person, and how he/she reacts that way. They should know the real story first before making undue accusations. And fear of God is the best key.

    There will be many trials to endure but just because trials make their way in doesn’t mean there should be a state of sadness. There’s so much to be grateful for, the trial will last always, the storms will surely […]

    • Very true. The way we deal with setbacks is greatly influenced by our surroundings. So, it is really important that we make our surroundings beautiful and positive.
      Gather everything that develops a positive attitude and inspire you to get going. Setbacks and trials are inevitable in life but what can be controlled is the manner of dealing with it.

    • Yeah opsticles make one stronger. And yes sometimes live and negative people can bring us down sometimes. But there is always tommorow and the sun will shine again. So stand up! Stand proud! Lift your head! Face the world and say! Was that your best shot! Try again! Im still standing stronger than ever!

    • I am proud that I am a Filipina. That’s because the Filipinos are said to be very resilient people.

      When a typhoon would hit our country, it would hit those light material houses of the poor Filipinos. They would be housed for the time being in evacuation centers.

      But even if they were in that difficult situation, they still manage to smile in the cameras, whenever they were given relief goods by disaster organization and charitable institutions.

      They know what to do in order to survive. They ask for help from the Local Government units, from charities and organizations. If they have exhausted them all, they would go to garbages and look for recyclable materials and sell them so they can have sustenance for their basic needs.

      Amidst this situation, they have firm belief that God will provide and will make a way for them to survive. And they do survive.

      That’s how resilient Filipinos are.

    • As it is being told, “Happiness is a choice, despite trials, despite challenges.”

      You deserve to be happy, yes, we deserve it. If you purposefully focus on what brings you happiness, on what your area glad for in your life you will find bits of happiness making their way in… before you know it, you will have formed a habit of looking for the happiness and it will travel more willingly with even through your worst days.

      If the world pulls you down, just ignore and don’t let them remove the reasons for your happiness.

    • Yes, it is the best policy in life to stay with positive people and ignore those negative ones. When you are in a toxic situation, just be calm, composed and try to avoid those people who might influence you.

      Thanks for the inspiring words.

    • There is this saying that goes like “LET GO AND LET GOD” if you read between the lines you will understand what I mean by that statement. Though it is straight forward you don’t need to expound on it. It’s all about leaving everything to God. Don’t keep dwelling on the things that keep putting you down, sometimes it’s good to just lay on Jesus feet and let him do his work. Don’t keep stressing over stuff that you cannot change. When we pray to God, our words go up to him and he brings down answers. God let’s us go through stuff so that he can teach us something, or warn us, or protect us. We should not always take disappointments to be a bad thing, we should in fact embrace them because it’s through this trials that we get breakthroughs. Think about it this way you have to have a disappointment in your life to be able to get to your appointment. So don’t disregard them they happen for a pretty good reason. I am an example of such I have experienced so much pain and hurt in life but when I look back at it I realize that it was all for good course. If i didn’t go through the turmoils I would never have travelled to the places I did, i never would heave built the house that i built and so many other things. That’s why I look back and just thank God for his ever loving mercy and grace upon my life.

    Using the word fool sounds a bit negative but fool is used plenty in the bible. Argue with a fool and don’t expect to win. Some may want to get reactions for whatever reasons. It appears some are losing a lot of […]

    • Why should we argue with a fool. Doing so would also make us a fool, knowing that we cannot get any good answer from a person like that.

      Anyway, maybe if one vented it out with a fool, he /she may never know what will be the reaction of a fool. Good if he only will laugh. But what about if he gets angry and slap you. Now , who is the fool ? ha ha ha

    • When you argue with a fool, you will also look like onebecause no one is going to know the difference between the two. If you get into an argument with someone, and you notice that that person just keeps going on and on and is not relenting even if they are wrong please just surrender and walk away, make them feel like they have won even though you know what is true. If you know what is right why sit there and listen to what the fool is saying you know your stand don’t waste your time. I am one of those people who really don’t like arguments, so I try to avoid them at all costs. Because it makes no sense to me to keep arguing when I know that whatever I say will not change the other persons mind. Just walk away.

    • I learned that foolish people never want to know what they are being foolish about so they will not listen if you try to tell them. The best way with a fool is to walk away and not engage in them as it puts you on an equal footing and wastes your energy. Spend time with those with enough wisdom inside them to understand they need to listen to advice as they may not always make wise decisions.

    • Politicians will always fight and when it comes down to it few will be really out just for the good of their country. Most people just get confused and let them get on with it. It is a shame because this leaves countries prone to chaos and dictatorships or corruption which gets too bit for the people on the ground to fight against. I have concluded that all we can do is pray and ask God to intervene in many of the world situations we see today.

    • I think it;s hard to ignore difficult people if they are more rich than you. You can’t avoid them because they have some social and financial power over you.

    • I have a lovely story to tell about my son. His caricatures have gone all over the world now. He is a sought after artist. At art school, a tramp asked him to do a caricature and tore it up saying he was hopeless. Instead of taking this as defeat as even a tramp thought his work was rubbish he determined to become a brilliant caricaturist and he has and a brilliant artist as well.

      When we listen to others opinions we are often hyper critical of ourselves so we hear even the smallest criticism as a huge negative. The only way forward is to get on and do what you enjoy for your own sake.

      That’s because they don’t want to be outdone by others, so they pull them down instead, by tainting their reputations and saying lies and making schemes to put them down.

      They are envious people. They will also have their time of being pulled down, because karma goes round and round to people who have evil intentions to others.

    • There is nothing in life that does not change at a point in life. As we grow everyday we change in many parts of our life. Chhange is a must in every development. In life there are people who come into our lifes for the following reason. 1) To be a distruction 2) motivators 3) builders 4) forever partners 5) family
      As we move on in life some of this people will fall along the road. change is therefore necessary.

      • That’s right. Change will occur. We’re not able to stop the changes. Perhaps learning to adjust to changes will help. There’s something in the world changing everyday. Although some may have hard time adjusting to the changes. Eventually some may learn how to deal with the matters better.

    • Very nice message.I think change acceptance and then working hard for removing some bad things from past requires effort and support.

      • We’re able to deal with changes better when there’s some support of course. Even if there’s none at all well at least from mankind then there’s still ways to tolerate the changes. We’re continuously learning to adjust and how to be patient with the many occurrences.
