It’s all about attitude, mindset

-

Madam,

Being great in life is not about the visible characteri­stics, but it’s about the attitude and mindset. It about the storms, hurricanes, wilderness you have faced and conquered.

Greatness is based on how you view failure, whether you see it an experience that gives you a chance to do better, or you see it as a limit that gauges your potential. The more you suffer and you survive, it’s the more you gain strength and boldness to face life. We sometimes suffer so that we can understand life in a deeper sense, for it happens we meet people who have been through pain and if we have never tasted pain it becomes hard to envision their situation. We cannot define life if we haven’t been through those painful experience­s.

We say we have lived because of the storms we have survived.

SURVIVED

Life is more beautiful when you tell your story and it’s becomes a mystery on how you survived. There most critical stance about life is that we do not choose our wilderness, but our wilderness choose us. We do not decide to suffer but we just find ourselves trapped in ambiguous

circumstan­ces that call for us to be strong.

Have you ever wondered why the lion is the king of the jungle: because it’s not the biggest, tallest, fastest animal but still it reigns over elephants, cheaters and eagles? That’s the mystery of life, if you define it with what you see you have missed the whole purpose about life.

ATTITUDE

The lion is the king because of it’s attitude,when it sees the other animals it thinks of food. When it roars, it sends fear to the other animals, they begin to shake and become weak,then the lion strikes. That’s the attitude we need. We should not define ourselves from our background­s, but we should

open our eyes and see the strength that is inside of us.

There’s no human on earth that is an empty vessel There is gold within every man that’s needs to be nurtured so that it’s glory becomes visible. We are all born for a purpose. Dr Myles Munroe once said; the greatest challenge on earth is not death, but it is living life not knowing your purpose”. It a task, that every man has ,to find your purpose. Your purpose in life is build and prepared through hardships. You must not fear suffering because it prepares you for your journey. If you live life on your exact journey that’s where your full potential will be unpacked.
