Are you facing challenges this holiday season. Maybe it’s not having enough money to pay the bills, let alone buy holiday gifts. Or a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one. And you’re wondering how you are going to make ends meet or how you are going to go on? If you are facing challenges or dissapointment you need to read on.

Personally, there are 2 things that have helped me through my own personal difficulties and believe me I have suffered poverty and loss and major dissapointments in my life, but these 2 things have carried me through the difficult times: Faith and courage. Faith in myself and in God, and courage to do the right things even when it hurts, to face the unknown, and to face my fears. If I could give you faith and courage I would. But faith and courage are not things that can be given away, they must be cultivated. Oddly enough faith and courage grow through trials. It is not what happens to us that matters, but how we react to what happens to us that forms our character.

Here’s this week’s motivational message from my friend Arnfried, Motivater and CEO?of Be Motivated Today:

I love this quote from James Buckham about? growing when facing challenges.

Trials, temptations, disappointments ? all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. ? James Buckham

It is during the challenges and difficulties that you discover just how much you can handle. Although you may feel battered afterwards, you will be stronger and able to handle more next time.

I don’t wish challenges on anyone, but at least we do benefit from them.

If you are facing a challenge today, ?just hang in there.

Affirmations:
Challenges make me stronger
They bring out the best in me
I can get through anything

Be all you can be,

With Fond Regards

Arnfried Klein-Werner
