Challenges will come… | Dr. Christine Chin-Sim |
There is no way around it. Whatever you decide to accomplish – be prepared to have challenges!

Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they are meant to allow you to discover who you are. T. S. Elliot said, “If you never get in over your head, how will you know how tall you are?”

It is comfortable when you go through a period without challenges, but it is only during times of challenges that we grow. We NEVER grow during the good times. We become comfortable, yes, and perhaps we grow out of our clothes (never a good thing), but we never stretch out of our comfort zones – and so we remain stagnant and eventually die. I’m not speaking of a physical death – but sometimes we become just a “shell” of what we were meant to be, and we know it.

Martin Luther said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Where will you stand? Do you give up when you face challenges? Or Do you DECIDE to NEVER GIVE UP?
