Finding Strength In Adversity

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

What you are facing right now is a test. It is not a roadblock. It is not there to stop you from living your life. It is not there to paralyze you. It is not there to stop you from taking your next small step.

It is there to make you a better person, a better friend, a better coworker, a better being, a better partner, and a better servant.

What you are facing right now is not the issue. The issue is how you see what you are going through.

Believe it or not, what you are going through right now is not the end of your life. It is just the beginning of a new life, a new you.

Do not let what you are going through stop you from living a beautiful life.

You are still here. You still have a lot of things to do. You have not finished writing your own story.

God hasn’t done with you yet. God is on your side. If God is for you, you can go through anything in life. You can face anything in life. And you can change a negative situation into a positive one.

Remember, ‘With God all things are possible.’ When you are in doubt, trust in God.

How To Make Your Values Work For You

You can make your values work for you. And you can also make your values work against you.

Respect your values. Do not disrespect your values. They are your building blocks. They are your pillars. Without them, you are nothing. Without your values, you do not have what you need to live a better life.

Your values represent you. They are your inner directors. When they talk, you listen.

When your values say no, you do it. When your values say yes, you do it. You don’t disagree with your values.

You can. But you will pay for disobeying your values. You can make your values work for you. You do that by making decisions based on your core values.

You don’t do anything that is not in line with your values. You don’t make decisions that don’t match your core values.

And you can also go against your values. You do that by doing things that are not in line with what you stand for. You do that by disrespecting your core values.

If you want peace, respect your values. If you want chaos, disrespect your values.

Life is tough. And real decisions are hard to make, especially when other people are involved.

But if you strongly believe in your values, if you know what your core values are, they can guide you through anything in your life. All you need to do is to believe in them. When you live your values, your values will live you.

When you follow your values, your values will follow you. And when you respect your values, your values will respect your life.

Remember, life is about standing for something. If you do not stand for something, then nothing is coming your way. If that is what you want, that is okay. But if it is not, you have got to step up. Are you?
