Bounce Back

💪Resilience is the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.

It is that characteristic exhibited by some trees, in that when a heavy wind blows against that tree, the tree bends backwards almost to breaking point, but you see it spring back up afterwards.

The world comprises of challenges and how you take challenges define the outcome of your life. Being tough is a matter of your inner being and not your outward appearance. 

In Igbo language, there's a proverb that says,"Mberede nyírí dike; mberede ka eji amara dike." When translated into English language, it means, "Sudden adversity weighs on the strong; in sudden adversity the strong is known." 

Fire is not interesting at all, but it reveals the beauty of gold!

Having it bread and butter does not give you the accurate picture of life and it does not give you any inspiring story to tell. Such stories are capable of strengthening the weak and giving hope to the hopeless. The challenge you face today and overcome is the certificate that qualifies you for the next phase of your life.

Challenges are testaments that announce you in the corridors of power. They shape your view of life and help you to approach life issues better. You become wiser, tenacious, tougher, stronger and a believer of the impossible.

⚡Cry your eyes red, develop a headache in the process, be heartbroken and wail😭. Afterwards, dream again, believe again, try again, think again, plan again and act again. You may have to fall numerous times, but you will be remembered for rising again after each fall. The gift you give yourself is to hope again and try again until the challenge gives in to you!

YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!!

Warriors are known to show up for every battle. They fortify themselves for the next battle, having learnt the lesson of yesterday's defeat. They believe they can win tomorrow! From being a warrior, you become a champion 🏆.

💦I've had countless times I have cried my eyes out and developed a headache because things seem to refuse to work out as planned. I'll tell myself that I'm over and done with trying. The truth is, it ain't easy one bit to put your mind, strength and time into something and it ended up not giving you the result you expected. It's devastating 🤯. Nevertheless, days later, I'll see myself trying one more time, despite my vow to end the stress. Challenges can't break me! My root is too deep for that!

People who are resilient are those who bounce back after each fall. The word "resilient" wouldn't have been in the dictionary if there was nothing like challenges in life. Again, if man was not designed to handle stress or challenges, most of us will be patients in psychiatric hospitals by now🤔.

You've got to bounce back!!!
