Dealing with despondency

… It was many years ago that I read the book, ‘Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!’ by Robert Schuller.

Though the book was published about 40 years ago, the essence of its title and the context still remain relevant in our lives.

As long as we have the breadth of life, it’s expedient that we face different levels of challenges. While some of the challenges can be quickly dealt with, there are some that tends to overwhelm us and seemingly make us helplessness and exasperated.

However, becoming despondent is not an option. Hence, no matter how tough the situation or the issues are, having the willpower and self-drive to overcome the limitation is of essence.

Indeed, it takes some toughness to overcome the limits or contours of life.

Hence, no matter how tough the situation may be, remember that, ‘Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!’.

kind regards.

Count your blessings: How many are they?

Though asking about ones relationship with God is a personal and individual subject, however we cannot deny the fact that there’s a Supreme Being who rules in the affairs of men and under whose mercies we all draw the grace of being alive.

Indeed, if not for God’s mercies, things could have been worse!

…. The old song, ‘Count your blessing, name them one by one’ is evergreen. Indeed, life offers us some daily blessing that we should be grateful and thankful to God for.

I don’t know about you, but I have had turns, twists, bends, contours, limitations, challenges, hindrances, obstacles, obstacles, threats, depressing times, disappointments and downtimes.

However, in all, I also acknowledge that I have experienced triumphs, victories, prosperity, grace, favours, health, family, joys and peace, ETC.

I am counting my blessings, and I am glad! What about you?

Closing line: “Thank God for what you have, trust God for what you need”.

Shalom!
