Every one of us has our own battles to fight and challenges to overcome.

It could be being born with a

disability or something simple like going to school. Some are easy to overcome but some aren’t. In
facing tough and difficult challenges in life, some gives up and everybody else continues to stand up and
fight. I think the best way to overcome difficult challenges is to be optimistic. Being positive in life
means feeling or believing that good things or what you hope for will happen in the future. Instead of
wallowing in self-pity because of the problems I face in my life, I always tell myself to be positive. I will
turn the day full of regrets and failures into a day full of hope and positivity. I will smile and believe that
‘’I can’’. I can do it. I can handle it. Because I can do everything I put my mind into. I believe in myself
and my capabilities. I have the resources, I still have time, and nothing and no one can stop me from
making everything happen. Joshua J. Marine said that challenges are what make life interesting and
overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. It’s true. God will not bestow challenges and obstacles
upon us if He knew that we are not capable to conquer them. Being positive makes it easier for me to
overcome my personal challenges. But it’s alright to cry and fail sometimes. If you failed, don’t give up.
There’s always next time. The challenges you face today are only temporary. Keep going. Failures and
challenges make us stronger. Tough situations build strong people in the end. In overcoming challenges,
you have to believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is
greater than any obstacle. You are capable of great things in your life, but great things can only happen
if you BELIEVE and when you TAKE ACTION. Because when you believe, anything is possible! I believe “I
can”. How about you?
