Storms are a definition of hard times.
Hard times are never meant to last forever.
Hard times exist to define and refine us.
Tough times never last, but tough people they do. When the going gets tough, it’s the tough who gets going.
If you find yourself down, know that the down moment is temporary, It’s meant to test you.
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself,
Do a few push ups,
Tie up your shoe laces, pull up your socks and get moving.
If you can’t fly run, if you can’t run walk,If you can’t walk crawl, but keep on moving,It’s only motion which will take you from where you are to a different place.
Keeping on crying and complaining whilst doing nothing, will get you no where,but cry and do something.
A change is bound to happen.
This world is not made for couch potatoes,It’s made for people who will grab the bull by its horns.
People who shall defy the odds.
If you failed in 2022, you can’t continue failing in 2023.
Where did you fail?
What needs to be done.
Take decisive action.
Rise up and shine.
The world is full of opportunities but not for the lazy people.
Hot brow, wet shirt.
You got to sweat for it.
Work hard.
Work smart.
Push,press until something happens.
Storms exist but that’s why there are storm breakers.
Ice exists but that’s why there are ice breakers.
Many times you have to blaze your trail.
Don’t look for where paths always exist.
Make your own path.
Maintain your individuality in the midst of the storms.
Life is a jig saw,it is full of ups and downs.
In our different journeys we meet storms, ragging winds, hurricanes, scorching temperatures and all kinds of challenges, but it is important to keep and maintain our individuality in the midst of whatever storms that we meet or face.
Hard times exist to define and refine us
Life is a jungle and it’s survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive. The weak and feeble will not make it far.
The first quarter of the year is about to end , and there are some instances you look back and wonder ooow, how did I get out of that situation.
Storms are a part of life and they come in different ways and forms, it could be relationships,finances, debts, family etc trust me there are many other people in the same storm but there’s a quality that makes you distinct in such situations and that is what we are talking about , that character or thing that differentiates you from others in the same storm with you,your individuality.
Every person,young and old both , nobody is immune, faces storms in life and through them we should mantain our character, personality.
Some of the storms of life force you to change and you can either change for the good or for the worst.
A storm will either leave you a better person or otherwise.
Through the storm you don’t have to be a victim but choose who you want to become.
Storms are situations that we all go through and how you handle them will determine if you will become what you’ve always wanted to be or you are going to be changed by the situations.
The reason why we need to mantain our characters or personalities through storms is if you are to go through a storm five times a year are you going to change into someone else all those five times?
Loosing your balance through a storm will lead you to loose your goal and your vision.
It will make you become a different person all the time.
We should not be afraid of storms, we should learn how to sail through the storms.
1 Corinthians 16:13 says Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
We need to continue believing and trusting in ourselves through whatever we are going through. Know that you maybe down but you are not out.
Always encourage yourself and see yourself rising up again. You might have failed but that doesn’t make you a failure. You can choose to sail or sink, life is all about fighting. It will not give us what we desire but what we fight for.
Failure is important in our journey of life as it makes us grow and it develops resilience and let’s appreciate that not all storms come to disrupt our lives , some come to clear out paths and pave way for new and better opportunities.
Some storms just come to mould and strengthen our tenacity.
Our drive and passion to get it or to achieve will be determined by our tenacity.
Through the storm be persistent, remain focused, be courageous and believe that this too will soon come to pass.
Remember who you are. You are an achiever, a pace setter, goal oriented champion and going through a situation does not take that away from you.
Remember your goals, they cannot just sink in the storm.
Giving up is not an option , it’s not about dwelling on what went wrong but working out a plan and strategies to go forward. You might be shaken but don’t allow yourself to drown.
If you never learnt to swim, teach yourself to swim and come out alive and stronger.
So to summarize what I have written so far.
You need the following attributes when going through a storm.
•tenacity
•focus
• self descipline
•resilience
• courage
•passion
• positivity
How do you mantain your individuality through a storm?
Sometimes when going through a storm, we are pressured by what people think about us or what they expect from us.
Living up to the standards of people,just makes the situation worse because you are dealing with a unique storm that is meant for you alone.
1-
Take care of yourself.
After the storm you still need to be you, well and healthy,don’t neglect your emotional, psychological and social health.
2-
Be firm about who you are. Don’t compromise your values and principles along the way.
3-
Love and appreciate yourself
4-
Don’t compare yourself with others, your races are different, your callings are different.
Be inspired by others but don’t compete.
The only competition you are in is with yourself not with the next person.
5-
Love the struggles , don’t run away from challenges. There’s a story you will need to tell someday when you are at the top.
6-
Keep up with your interests and hobbies.

Maintain friendships and circles. it is in mingling with others that you get encouragement, consolation , comfort and even ideas.

Remember winners don’t quit
