STRIVING IN DIFFICULT TIMES

      To strive is to try to achieve a result; to make strenuous effort; to keep trying earnestly and persistently when things go wrong. Good things don't keep coming everyday. How do you cope with unfavorable days? Wether we manage to find joy in the daily struggle of life and achieve success; is largely dependent on our ability to preserve through the toughest adversity without giving up. If you are going through a rough time, finding something to give you a little lift can help you remember that life isn't always bad. These seemingly endless stretches of fear, disappointment, pain and heartache are just brief moment of time that would soon pass. Set backs, failures and tragedies are painful but they are part of life, life has a way of kicking us when we are down, but the ability to strive is a great tool you can use to conquer. 

There is a system called ‘PUSH’, And there are two aspects of PUSH 

1.   We keep pushing till we get results. Legends never give up, legends never relent on whatever they try that doesn't produce instant results; you keep re-trying. Thomas Edison was on his 100th trial before he was successful in creating an electric bulb. A little PUSH, might be where your success lies. 

2.   P.U.S.H: pray until something happens

Prayer is a very powerful tool which has yielded results for those who accessed it. Prayers can make you strong during difficult times and make you conquer. 

Difficult times in life is inevitable but with the two aspects of ‘PUSH’ as described above, you can strive through and come out with an excellent result. Remember you should always PUSH even when life has knocked your back to the floor. Million, Billion, Trillion ends with the suffix ‘LION’  therfore, you need a lion's  heart to gain access into this kingdom of wealth. The journey might be difficult but, you ‘PUSH’.  People's negative opinion should never have effect on your journey, in difficult times blackmailers can show their ugly faces and paint your picture black with the ever alluring feeling of frustration. In 2019, Bill Gates was misunderstood and accused for waging chemical warfare on poor women in a neocolonialism effort to suppress African births. But that had no effect on his business growth. “The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail” -Nelson Mandela

Now let's read a story; 

A business man in his community had an expensive printing machine that only four people could afford and use. When his machine first landed from China, gossipers of the community carried it that where could  such a man get money to purchase such expensive machine. Thus, painting his picture black in the community. It was really a difficult moment for the young entrepreneur because haters had already slammed his machine with negative words. But the entrepreneur took it as a process of success and instead of getting worried and depressed about what people said; he worked very hard and improved his brand, produce quality works. After a period of time, this entrepreneur has made millions from the same machine gossipers of the community slammed with negative words. Surprisingly after few years the entrepreneur came in with a more bigger machine that only two people in the whole of his community could afford. “A problem is a chance for you to do your best” Duke Ellington. 

Life would always bring you pain, it is your ability to work hard that transforms it.  “If you depend on life it would bring you pain, if you depend on your hardwork it would bring you gain” -Ajoge Shalom
