Keep Going And You Will Succeed

Everyone faces obstacles.

There are two groups of people: those who overcome hurdles, no matter how big or insurmountable they seem at first. These people have found a principle for their lives: 'Challenges make me strong.' and 'I learn from experiences, even the bad ones.'

This principle is already found in the Bible in Romans 5:3:

"Not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance character and character hope."

And then there is a second group of people: those who, even with the slightest inkling of a difficult situation, know exactly why things are about to get uncomfortable in their lives.

These people have the following principle for their lives: 'Challenges are unpleasant situations or mistakes to be avoided!'

They tell everyone how their life has deteriorated because of the situation and how unfair that is.
They are never to blame for the situation. Answers to the question of guilt are sought within those around them.

Getting help from outside is also difficult because 1. their problem is HUGE, on a scale no one has ever encountered before, and 2. they can immediately name 1,000 reasons why the proposed solution won't work.

But obstacles in our lives are there to prepare us for even greater challenges. We are designed to grow, in our intellectual abilities and in our creativity.

In the process of overcoming obstacles, it often seems as if nothing is moving forward and we're treading water. But this is precisely the time when we grow. We look for solutions, for new ways to tackle the problem.

This is also the phase when our foundation becomes stronger. This is the time when we become creative and seek new resources.
These are the moments when we change our thinking, create new routines, strengthen our skills and sharpen our senses. And in the end, we will emerge from the situation more successful.

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

Galatians 6:9

Wealth Does Not Make You a Leader

Published

A world that primarily teaches that striving for success, recognition and self-realization are the noble goals in life has not understood the fundamental meaning of being human. Science and studies suggest what constitutes the meaning of life and creates satisfaction. And even though we live in an information age and most information is available to us almost instantly, we find that it is all nothing and contributes little to our peace of mind. This is the crucial fork in the road in life. The recognition of a Creator who endows us with abilities far beyond our imagination. Only when I realize that I am a spiritual being, created and released with a personal purpose, do I understand the fullness of life. Solomon, the richest and wisest king in the Old Testament, had the same experiences on his way to achieving contentment: material things and wealth are empty. But why do so many managers still fall into the same temptation?

We must be willing to look beyond our limitations, beyond what we can achieve naturally. We must be able to clearly see where we need to go to grow, serve and lead.

Manager versus Leader

Published

Unfortunately, people often talk about leaders who are not. Or from managers who have no leadership qualities. The direct translation from English is not helpful in this regard, because a leader is more than just a manager! They differ in the following points: 1. Vision and goal setting 2. Motivation and inspiration 3. Approach to change 4. Decision making 5. Communication 6. Employee development 7. Influence and power A true leader gains influence through credibility, trust and respect. The power of true leaders lies in their ability to inspire and rally others towards a common goal. True leaders are and were: Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela.

Take care of your employees and recognize the people behind the work and position. People are not machines, not even you! You must recognize and promote this. People want to be seen. They want to receive recognition and trust. You too, don't you?
