Your PROBLEMS Should NEVER Be Bigger Than Your PURPOSE

 

True, problems are everywhere anytime in our life.  Worse, for some, even cloudy skies is a problem.  OR that horrendous traffic [whether you are in Mumbai, Lagos OR LA.  BUT dude, if that chronic traffic is a PROBLEM to you and me, are we admitting that PROBLEM becomes a constant [rather than a variable] in our daily life?  C'mon dude, we heard this one-liner many times so I thought let this be our thread at least for today, because  Your PROBLEMS should NEVER be bigger than your PURPOSE📗📙📘

We all heard the U.S. military missions in war-torn areas like Afghanistan and Iraq and we heard of their casualties at war.  As the soldiers always go on an operation in squads OR platoons, heard of that story WHERE almost all soldiers in one mission got killed except for one, WHO lost his leg.  WHEN he went home, his mom reminded him that he could have lost his life BUT instead, "God left him behind for a PURPOSE".  That simple statement from his mom served as his catalyst that helped him turn that challenge into an opportunity to rediscover the meaning and PURPOSE in his life✅✅✅

Despite losing his leg in Iraq, that soldier began his journey in pursuit of the Paralympics games WHICH ultimately resulted in him qualifying for a trip to the London Paralympics.  IF we are inspired by Paralympics athletes as I am, imagine WHAT it takes to overcome disabilities to compete at the highest level.  Simple daily routines that most of us take for granted are often significant obstacles.  BUT WHAT makes me admire these athletes is that they DON'T have time for EXCUSES💚💛💜

This sharing does remind me AGAIN that my very PURPOSE needs to be much greater than my PROBLEMS  In other words, if the reason WHY I am doing something is BIG enough, then we will be able to overcome the challenges and obstacles that may come our way.  If NOT, God knows, we could be consumed with the tons of PROBLEMS and in the end, we can fall into the trap of negativity, complaints and even excuses.  WHICH reminds me of this incisive one-liner:  HE WHO HAS A WHY TO LIVE CAN BEAR ALMOST ANY WHAT".  Well said because that's already a mouthful by its context😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  I realized that of all endeavors, sometimes, sports is just WHAT you need to give you PURPOSE, that reason to overcome, come back OR keep going.  In fact, I haven't heard of a sports man declaring like I GIVE UP.  Instead, for their very much bigger PURPOSE, for them it can be a tool to help us see that challenges re the very thing that brings out the best from ourselves.  For that American ex-soldier WHO lost his leg at war and yet he went over to be at the London Paralympics, it helped him rediscover a greater PURPOSE for his life, to make a difference in the lives of others, to give back in fact.  YES dude, YOUR PROBLEMS SHOULD NEVER BE BIGGER THAN YOUR PURPOSE❌❌❌
