Since childhood you have
watched those movies where after trials and tribulations, you sit in your chair
wishing and willing the hero to defeat the villain. At times during the movie,
you feel very uncomfortable wondering whether the hero will ever triumph over
the multitude of obstacles coming his way. Despite everything thrown at him,
despite having to content with the relentless stream of attacks from the bad
guys, he finally managed to find it his way through that maze and emerged as
the winner with the villain soundly beaten and defeated. You might not have
realised it yet but you could be similar to that hero because your life is an
adventure and, it is your choice what role you want to play in it. Do you want
to be the defeated villain or the triumphant hero in that exciting adventure
that is your life.
Life is a very exciting
adventure for those who are willing to make it so or a daily struggle and
frustration if you allow others to take control. You are not going to enjoy
your own life if you are not in control. Some people will tell you that you
have no control over what happen to you but, it is a proven fact that how you
respond to life challenges will eventually shape your future. It is true that
in some cases you will not be able to pre-empt or foresee things before they
manifest in your life but, how you respond to adversity will define the kind of
person you are and your ability to overcome obstacles in your life. No one is
immune from troubles and difficulties in their life, the obstacles in your life
will not only reveal to others who you are but also to you. The more you know
about your character the better prepared you are in dealing with the inevitable
setbacks.
You can search as much as
you want, you will not find a single successful person who has not gone through
hard times in order to succeed. In fact to be successful, you are going have
twice as many failures as successes. You have to be ready to overcome obstacles
sometimes painful ones if you want to taste victory. As the hero of your life,
you will be tested more times than you can imagine, you will even feel as if
the entire world is against you at times. The important thing to keep in mind
is the reason you are going through it, you need to keep your goal constantly
in mind to motivate yourself during difficult times. Life is a long and arduous
race where the winner’s trophy often goes to those who simply refuse to quit.
Talking about life someone
said:” the race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep running”. Like
the hero in your favourite movie you will be tested to breaking point
sometimes, you will even feel like giving up on your goals as on occasion it
will seem as there is not light at the end of the tunnel. It is exactly during
these times when you have to, one day at a time just keep going. There will be
a surprise around the corner waiting for and you will never know it if you stop
before then. History has taught us about how some people stopped so close to
the goal they chase for a long time, but you don’t want to stop only to find
out later on how close you were to achieving your dreams. You are the hero of
your own movie, you are not going to stop so close to the victory because like
the hero of that movie you saw long time ago you are not going to let the
villain win, you are going to emerge as the winning hero, the last man
standing.
