All of us encounter challenges in our life but I think the most important is we will not give up instead we should face those challenges in order to succeed or in order to reach our goals. Recently, I have encountered a challenge in my work and this made my day not so good but I still think positive and I bear in mind that there is a reason why did this happen. I cried due to frustration however I have the support of my friends so it was less painful. What I did is I pray to HIM to ask for strength and luckily I made it. How about you? If challenges come to your life, do you still think positive or you lose your confidence and it is hard to come back again? Please share your experiences.

I usually take every challenge with a grain of salt.I do not dwell on its negative aspects but I just try to solve it in the most optimistic but levelheaded way possible.

yes there are many challenges in life. At times I think that I should not be able to face it. Then I gather courage and fight till my ability permits me.

I have faced some challenges in my life in some cases I was unable to succeed but I learned from those challenges what were my mistakes and next time I avoided to mistakes. After all life is learning process we learn something or every day. But it was great pleasure when we successfully complete some challenges. Well I even like challenges in sports.

Just deal and keep your hand in the Lord's hand. That is all I can say. I was out of work for over seven months; Now I got a part time job now; I am so glad for it that I am grateful to God for it. For the months I was out of work, I made it through with the help of the Good Lord; I dont pay rent, just had a phone bill and a bed bill and kept it to that. I missed not having an income of my own, but glad to know that I had something to deal with. So I am glad on that.

Challenges are usually to people not ready in knowledge or experience, or beyond one's resources. I would willing accept assignments, and do my best to fulfil them in the attempt of accumulating experience. By time, you will be at ease to deal with tough situations. The first time things might be frightening, which should not turn you back unless you are frightened by yourself. You have your colleagues, friends, and relatives with you. They are ready to help if you wish.

I see challenges as a ladder for a higher position or ranking. I faced challenges that sometimes make me doubt about the people around me but I faced and overcome those through the miracles that God made. I faced challenges with a smile on the face and full confidence to God. And every time I overcome one, I feel a lot stronger and my faith grew bigger. And when I face again that same challenge, I simply told myself that in a replay the result will never change.

life itself is a challenge man and u have to face it everyday..as for me i take it as a daily routine..and do what ever i can to face it straight..sometime u broke but that is also natural it is the allmighty who gives us the challenges to test us and it is he again who gives us strength to fight it out so be confident...time never stops anywhere it passes..and whatever happens obviously has good reasons and is for our betterments though we at that point of time can not recognise it at face..so we react badly..

Having challenges are good.I encountered one and I never stopped thinking positively that I will be able to face the challenge.I know it is not easy but we should try our very best to make our life better and always believe in HIM.

I have had many challenges in my life and the older my children get the more challenges we will have to face I try to always remain positive about the situation and what is going on, honest with myself and others. I also do my best to turn to God and to depend on him and his guidance through the difficult times. Life can be a bear at times, the best thing to do is to look forward and not back, we can do nothing about what happened yesterday, nor what is going to happen tomorrow. all we can do is effect what is going on in our lives right now. Life is full of ups and downs, challenges and easy things, it is important not to focus on the impossible and try to place our focus on the things we can do.

hmmmm... challenges for me are like puzzles, it rarely gets to the point that i get emotional about it. yes, some would think that this kind of thinking is like a robot but that's how you do solve problems, you use your head. so when i do get problems, whether money, family, or what not, i get into this "logic" mode. it might be good to isolate your emotions towards some problems, and then just think think think and act. of course it still helps if you pray but i believe that we're the one's who solve our own problems not God, remember that God doesn't give us problems "we" cant solve. pray to God for guidance, but don't rely on divine intervention to do your dirty laundry.

I usually accept the challenges given to me. But if they are too big to be done with my limited power i usually seek help. Mostly I ask HIM for help too. He has got His own way of helping us come uot of problems.
