Four ways to overcome the Giant Obstacles – The road to Success

A lot of people have different perspective and mindset about getting the success they want in their lives. But despite to this, many people have yearned to be successful and yet failed to achieve their goals.

Why?

What hinders success?

There is what we call GIANTS in our lives. A giant simply means trials and problems in our lives. If we learn how to manipulate and win these giants we can then be successful. But how can we face the giant obstacles in our lives.  

There are many techniques and methods to win our giants. This is not the same how David won his battle against Goliath.

To win our Giants we simply apply the habits that was suggested by Stephen Covey in his book the seven habits of effective people.

Personally I practiced this habit in my life and slowly I have perfected this one and if you can learn this one, you can say to yourself that there is no one to blame for the misfortune of your life but you alone.

 This is the first step or habit that each one of us should apply. This habit is called the proactive habit.

One very proactive person in the Bible is Caleb and if you have read his story, you will be amazed at how he won the battle against the giants. Literally those were giants and they were small. But he bravely conquer his fear by taking proactive steps like saying this words, we can do it. And he did it. What a brave man.

Unfortunately, not many of them followed the proactive personality of Caleb, it was written that his friends shrink and were afraid to face the giants in the place that they were spying.

His friends were thinking they are small and like grasshoppers, could you imagine that?  Those were the personality of his friends, fearful and reactive.

But to this one man, who shouted we can do it. Everything seems possible to him. This man holds another personality that we can draw from.

2. He was optimistic. He always thinks in a positive way and so he was successful. In the book of Proverbs, it is written that you should be careful of your thoughts because what you think is who you become. So be careful of what you wish for, so to say. The important is to think positively.

3. Not every one of us believes that something will happen in our lives by just wishful thinking. Though, it is important that we should think in a positive way, and it is by believing that you can do it. If this is our belief, then it is good to accompany one trait of a successful person which is a DOER. Yes, the third thing to overcome giants is to do something, don’t just wait that something will happen because you are thinking positively, DO something to get it. Don’t waste your time thinking and planning, although this is necessary, but the most important is to implement what you have in your mind.

Another author said, what your mind can conceive you can achieve it’, and how to achieve that? DO something.

According to a social scientist, there are three types of person, one is those who watch things happen, second is those who wait things happen and third is those who make things happened. Now decide which one describes you most, your future lies in there.

 Lastly, above all, to overcome your GIANTS, you must pray. I have read from another source that the greatest man in the world is the one who kneels before God. If you confess and asked God to help you in your problems, Luther said, it is not your problem anymore, but it is God’s problem.

To summarize the things how to overcome you giants in life, you should have a habit of proactive, positive thinker, a doer and prayerful person. I believe there are lots more ways to overcome your problems in life, but there is no greater than submitting your life to God for you to be successful.
