Greetings!
Life is a mystery and everybody would in one way or the other have their own darkest moments. This darkest moment is a moment of setbacks and challenges. No wonder there's a saying that says, “ no matter how shining the sun is, there will always be a little dark sky.” Yes, there would always be a dark spot in the sky no matter how plain the sky is which simply means, no matter how smooth our life, there will always be a dark or challenging moment. That's the truth of the matter.
Now, since that's the truth of the matter, one must have it at the back of his or her mind that challenges would come and when it comes there must be a way out to overcoming it and this is where I would start to discuss on the matter of the topic which is centered on do we get motivated when the chips are down and we feel like given up.
As for me, I have encountered so many challenges in life and not that alone, I have also had the thought of quitting on several occasions without minding the popular saying that says,” quitters never win and winners never quit.” But one thing I used to realize when it's time for me to quit or give up on life is that I used to see myself bouncing back more than I have ever been.
Though, this did not come on a platter of gold, most especially when the chips are down on me, but with resilience, self retreat, self love and proper consultation, I have been able to conquer so many challenges. Also, seeking God's face when I'm passing through hell has really helped in solving my matters.
Just recently, I was faced with great loss in my business. I tried my best to weather the storm that was storming my business, but it eventually collapsed. Immediately the thing happened, I went to a private place for months and there I asked myself a series of questions about what's befell. Questions such as, what went wrong? Where did you get it wrong? How can you bounce back? When you bounce back, can you sustain it? Were asked by myself to myself.
Immediately I asked all these questions, I went to self retreat to find answers to these asked questions after which I was able to find a solution to the issue. After, I asked God to lead and direct me and I made consultation with. People as well.
So, after taking all these steps, I started with the little I have been able to gather from friends and family. Though, it's brought after the restart, with determination and resilience, I was able to bounce back right and now I'm a master of my trade and business.
So, all those factors mentioned above have really helped in motivating me when the chips are down on me. They have really helped me in roaring back to life and in soaring up as an eagle. Also, the hope for the future is another way of motivating myself when I feel like quitting or given up.
