Challenges are meant to be defeated and not evaded

In the times that we live in today, having an easy pass is gradually becoming the norm and people are putting it on a pedestal of accomplishment

Life is meant to be challenging and also rewarding


However, the seeking of an easy pass is gradually overcoming the need for strength, skill, and experience.


This is so because many people have been sucked into the idea that the end justifies the means and so they do not need to go through the rigor of challenges of the process before achieving something, but rather they can take a shortcut and as long as they get the trophy that's all that matters


Forgetting that with challenges comes experience and strength because overcoming a challenging task or situation will require that you skill up, apply strength, or be tenacious.


This for one now becomes the benefits of the challenges, because if you skilled-up so that you can able to overcome a challenging task, then that skill remains with you and can also be employed for the same challenge in the future or even for a different challenge in another situation, also if you built strength either physically or mentally in other to overcome a certain challenge, that strength remains with you even after the challenge and can be applied to something else, the same applies for tenacity


However, if none of these traits were cultivated in other to overcome a pending challenge, then what it means is that you are still not equipped to be able to overcome that challenge in the future or another like it


If you used a shortcut or an inappropriate method to boycott the challenges in the past then you have to be ready to still use it in the future if a similar situation comes up until it gets to a point where the method will no longer work, then you will realize that you have played yourself


Life is not a bed of roses, else lilies will overrun the mountains


As I mentioned earlier, life is meant to be challenging and also rewarding, for if you do the challenging tasks then you will be deemed qualified for the rewards of achievements that follow suit


If you try to leave a life devoid of challenges then I wonder what a life you are living.


This is not to say that you should seek out suffering and bask in it, NO, it simply means that you should expect that certain things will be difficult to achieve and that you are meant to work through them and figure out a way to conquer the obstacles and win regardless.


Don't shy away from the suffering that comes your way but rather annihilate it and put it beneath you while you go for your goals


If you can always do this, you will realize that you will become unafraid of any situation and also unstoppable in the pursuit of your dreams


And as many times as you can accomplish such feats of triumph, that is as much confidence and resilience that you would have built to be able to face any future obstacle


When you live every day with the expectation to win regardless of the challenges, sooner than later you will reach the height of Magnum Opus in your character.


Thank you for stopping by.

Reality can be manufactured

The concept of reality, traditionally understood as the sum of all that is real or existent, is undergoing a profound re-evaluation in the modern age. With advances in technology, psychology, and media, it has become evident that reality, as perceived by individuals and societies, can be manufactured.  This manufactured reality encompasses altered perceptions, manipulated narratives, and constructed environments, all designed to influence thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs.  This article delves into the mechanisms and implications of manufactured reality, examining historical precedents, modern techniques, and future prospects. Propaganda and Public Perception The notion of shaping reality is not new. Throughout history, leaders and governments have used propaganda to influence public perception and control societal narratives. Ancient empires, such as Rome, used monuments, coins, and public ceremonies to craft an image of power and stability.  In the 20th century, propagan...

The Day I Felt Powerless

Needless to say, I've had my fair share of frustrating situations and unplanned challenges. But the day I felt powerless was by far one of the most unforgettable experiences on that list. It was the day I had a brisk accident while riding my motorbike, descending from a bridge. The incident happened so fast that if someone had sneezed a second before, they would’ve missed the trailer entirely. But to me—the eye of the beholder—the incident didn’t feel fast at all. I can actually recall it in slow motion. It happened when a van in front of me, for whatever reason best known to the driver (which I will never be able to tell), suddenly decided to slow down rapidly and stop right in the middle of the expressway. And just as quickly, after the incident, the van zoomed off. I wasn’t exactly caught off guard—because, like I said, I saw it happening—but by then, I was already too far gone, in the middle of rolling down the bridge myself. I couldn’t do much else but allow the deed to take i...

You will struggle in life if you don’t know this one thing!

Gratitude in this case is a way in which you show appreciation for something that you have or have access to. It’s giving ∼ that if you appreciate something it tends to increase, just like the saying goes ‘what you focus on expands.’ Gratitude can open up big doors for you that you would ordinarily not have access to. It works like magic and even those who enjoy its largesse may never be able to explain its powers fully. However, what I have seen and can say about it is that; When you show genuine appreciation for something, it puts you in a mood which in turn necessitates the happy emotion. Happy emotion is a very powerful vibe that is magnetic. When you meet a person with a happy vibe you can’t help but get a spice up on your mood as well. So, as I was trying to explain… When you show gratitude and start to exude the powerful emotion of happiness, it becomes easy for people to want to associate with you and thus partake in the vibes. This will ultimately lead to you getting support f...
