Challenge Accepted Part 2

So I must say — I have been a bit inundated for the month of August with work stuff –but good stuff. All a big learning season and a learning curve.

I am building, working, planning, strategizing, configuring, testing and training! What have I learned? When they say, “This can’t be done?” I say, “Challenge Accepted!”

What else can be done besides all the “No’s” of life.

We keep hearing all the worst case scenarios and think — “this is it!” New approaches and technology can sometimes be daunting.

Why not change that mindset to think — “this is THAT!”

This is that thing that will push you forward and catapult you to come up with another way of doing something. This will provoke thought, reason and innovation. This will actually get the job done, just in a different way. We have to THINK! This isn’t it! This isn’t over. This is THAT thing that makes you seek the very next best.

You have it in you to do more, be more, say more and give more. You can make the biggest contribution and significance when it comes to problem solving. You can make your mark by doing the most and by doing that with others. Team efforts make for the best output.

So please — stand with me and tell your situation, “Challenge Accepted!”

It’s not over.
It’s not done with.
It’s not a bad report.
It’s not the end.
It’s not the worst.

This is THAT which will push me to find the best way that works for us all –but most importantly what settles me to draw out what has been buried in me all along. Talent! Ideas! Inspiration in manifestation!

So the challenges in life, work, school, family or whatever you find yourself in now ought to be an inspiration for you. It is only an opportunity for you to experience greatness. Challenges should inspire us. There is a way.

The solution has always been there — YOU! ARE! THE! SOLUTION!

Did you know that?

And it begins with having that inner grit. That resilient spirit. A tenacious soul. A go-getter attitude. A right mindset and growth perspective. It is having a willing heart. Remember — mediocrity says, “I am doing the best that I can.” But legendary says, “I can do better.”

So let the challenges –allow you to give the most so that you can experience results that can be transformative! The struggle is where you learn. The issue is where you blossom. The blessing is in the lesson. The thing that you think you can’t manage — YES YOU CAN! You can do anything and you can be anything that you set your mind to accomplish. Anything that you are consistent with will yield results.

“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

News you hear today is only a perception that you need for a greater tomorrow. It is never the worst. It is never over. There is always a way. Life can’t bring you down, no matter what they say or what you hear.
