"A challenge is a general term referring to things that are imbued with a sense of difficulty and victory" from Wikipedia.com. Two keywords from the definition of challenge from Wikipedia.com are difficulty and victory. Difficulty is about things that are not easy, hindrances and obstacles that might make someone quit, leave or do something else. To conquer such difficulties need commitment, faith in God, trust and belief in yourself, passion, tenacity and the yearning for success. If one does not allow to be defeated by difficulties then victory might be and will be reachable and attainable.
Challenges are part of life. Sometimes, it might be in the area of relationships, career, family, money or health. It might make us emotional, hurt, depressed or stressed. If we allow ourselves to be affected in that manner then we might lead ourselves to more problems. It is more advisable to face the challenges well. To look at it as an opportunity to do better, to be more conscious of things and to focus on what matters most in life. It also makes us stronger and better.
Let us conquer our fears. Let us not be consumed by emotion. Let us be more rational. Let us accept challenges and find ways to resolve them. God is with us and He will help us find solutions to our problems. No problem is unsolvable.

It's the month of graduations and moving up ceremonies. Children can't wait to go on another journey in their lives while missing the people and events that made their stay in school memorable and exciting while parents are very excited to see their children go up the stage as they move up another year in school or finally receive their diplomas.
Finishing each level of education is a success and progress by itself. It shows how a student commits to reaching a goal of getting a degree, the educators working hard to guide and mold young minds, the parents who work hard to give a good education and future for their children who are their biggest treasures in the world and the community who work on influencing and guiding our youth to become the best they can be.
Moving up is a sign of progress, growth and it also indicates change. Moving up does not only happen during graduation but in many aspects of our lives. It happens when we are promoted or when we are given more challenging roles in our respective careers. It also can be the improvement of one's lifestyle due to hard work and perseverance to give a good life to his or her family. It can also be termed as level up or simply improving.
Time, forces and certain factors will make us feel that it is the right time to work on move up. God will guide us to where we should be and what we should do next. He will give us what is best for us at His best time.
I am sure each of us has passed through struggles and conquered them. In our personal lives, in our career and in any aspect of our daily lives, we go through struggles and we become emotional especially if it something that we value.
Why do we struggle? Sometimes, it's because we need to make life changing decisions. Sometimes, the decisions affects our loved ones and family. Sometimes, we need to choose. Sometimes, we are so undecided that we are left in a quandary.
Struggles mean we have choices or options. It just means we need to choose our own adventure. It also means we still have time to make well thought of and well informed decisions that we can commit to.
I am currently seeking God's guidance and listening to my loved ones and supporters on what is best for my next step. I want to do so much and I need to make an important decision soon. I hope and pray that it will be the best and most appropriate decision. I offer my life to the Lord.
