"BRAVO"

                                                                     

                                                        Meeting Challenges



            Who says you must wait until the end of a victorious fete to take a well-deserved bow? I know it’s customary to wait until completion, but sometimes you need to congratulate yourself after you meet a challenge. 


            Why? Well, because challenges come every day, they are the unseen hurdles that try to trip us up when we think things are flowing well. 


            It’s impossible to foresee them all, so I say, give your safe a pat on the back for a job well done. It not only challenges you to do more and continue your journeys. But also inspires and motivates you to try harder and push yourself farther.


            Also, the opportunity to strategize to plan better which will allow you to meet your goals.

            Faith is the substance of things unseen, yet relegate yourselves to see what the outcome will be. But that’s just it, trials come each day. Much like life, we never know what tomorrow will bring. We all know tomorrow isn’t promised, and if we wait until the end for a report card, it could lead to disappointment.

Self-compliments are not always a bad thing or a sign of arrogance. No, not at all, it’s a sign of positivity and an opportunity to see how far you’ve come on your journey. See your strengths and weaknesses, to become better prepared for your next challenge and time to see how much you’ve already accomplished.

            Often, our achievements go unacknowledged because of a wait and see mentality. Preparedness is the avenue for success, that’s not measured by tallying up the points at the end or tries versus losses.


            It’s the tries that are counted anyway and not the losses. Don’t give up, but keep going. Also, it will change your perception as to how you view challenges. I understand not all challenges are created equal, but they don’t have to become stumbling blocks for you either.


            Tenacity is the fuel of motivation, and we should not use it sparingly. The more git-up and go power you pull from your stored resources increases your potential to not only grade yourself at the midway point but improves a greater positive outcome. 


            So, remember, challenges come daily, and so should your assessment of how well you’re doing. It’s okay to say bravo before the end because victory comes to those who endure.
