Greetings!
Every human on earth have their own trial period no matter what status we all think we are, rich or poor, we all have our trying period and talking about this trying time, its left to individuals on how to handle his or her own trying time. Like a saying in my local parlance, " no matter how sunny it's, there will be a black spot of atmosphere and no matter how sweet our life is, there will always being a trying time." Going by this, it means, there will be a time when all is not rosy.
Even, the bible says and I quote, " in the world, ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheers, I have overcome the world." So, this bible reference is pointing to the fact that there would be tough time, but that it is not always permanent but temporary. Though, we all have our different tough time, but it's not permanent going by the way it's handled by us.
Hmmm! Seriously in life, I have encountered series of challenges that shook me and my faith. But thank God I was able to overcome, though not by my power but with the help of God. But one thing I have always known for myself is that in my trying time and when pushing for the best. My one and only motivation usually comes from my mindset.
In life, I have been able to weather many storm through my mindset and I used to tell people that my mindset is my asset. In the year 2011, when I lost my pillar, my mum to be precise, it was like the world was over and to even navigate my path through life was so tough that I couldn't even fathom what would happen next. But I was been steadfast with the right mindset. Back then, I really suffered fornthe one year, putting on a trouser and a shirt for the whole year before I could go out, I must wash and wait till it gets dried. It's a wash and wear situation for me back then, what of feeding it was so tough to feed myself. Alot really happened then, to further my studies at the university was not even sure then. The future was cloudy.

So, during this period, even as there' seems there's no light at the end of the tunnel, my mind was so strong to motivate me that what I was passing through was just for the meantime and that the future is bright for me to explore. So, with the right mindset, eventhough things were so tough, I used to be happy and have the unlimited joy in me. Knowing fully well that, that was not my last destination but a temporal setback and that once I bounce back, everything will take shape.
So, with a right mindset, I was able to overcome and weather the storm of life. Though not yet there but almost there, I got myself on the right track with the proper mindset, thinking deep on what to do and seriously it worked for me. With the kind of my mindset, i was able to strategize to take the form i wanted it to be with the help of God. Not that I'm not still passing through a tough time , but my mindset has always been my motivator.
