Problems arise. “I will go to the end of the earth if that is what it takes”. Then you discover the earth is round and you are walking around in circles. The answer really lies in discovery.
You will experience challenges in many forms. It may be in relationships, it may be that there are gaps in your knowledge of a subject, it may be financial, it may your own personality. The solution starts with the manner in which you approach the challenge. It is also possible that the outcome will not be the expected outcome but it may be the best outcome. Challenges are different to purely setting goals. Rather, challenges are those incidences in your life that complete the obstacle course in the marathon called life. Challenges are the impacts on your life that can grow you as a person or it can grind you into the earth and leave you as mere dust.
The mistake you will make is to be unprepared. It may be that you are unprepared for the challenge itself, but that is not the biggest issue for you. The real unpreparedness is in “how you will address the challenge that is facing you”. If you are clueless then you are totally unprepared and you may succumb to the challenge. The way you live your life is the platform for what lies ahead. Knowledge is an all-important tool and if you can pack some brawn, then certainly that will be helpful. What is this brawn? It is not quite the physical brawn but rather the mental tenacity, the discipline and deftness of mental footwork that you have perfected over time. Many people will read this and will have given up on any understanding of this. This is true because not everything you read is right for you but, more importantly, it may be that you are not right for this. Everyone has their own timeline and perhaps they will see the need to prepare for challenges much later. Many will abdicate that responsibility. But you are concerned about your life and your family. It is not a challenge to accept a handout; it is a challenge to refuse the handout and then build something so that you, in turn, can assist others, be it through a handout or through uplifting them and restoring their humanity and their dignity.
The challenges are on the doorstep. Do what is necessary to face these challenges head on. You are capable even if it is only to make the decision to find the person to help you grow and to be strong.
PS! ever wondered what you’d find at the end of the earth if it is flat?
Our current situation requires introspection and your dependence on mass media for your energy – or lets call it information, i.e. are you taking handouts?
