FAILURE AND REJECTION, MAKES YOU STRONGER

SEASON TWO.:
DAY FIVE:
Today's Quote:
“The fittest person survives! The fighting man succeeds! He who Fights to Fit, will Survive to Succeed!” - Israelmore Ayivor



Good morning and welcome to day five of Andy Omoregie Daily Inspirational Dose. According to Ray Goforth, “There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world. Those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed” My advice for you today is that you should never stop believing in yourself. Today article will inspire and drive you to self-fulfillment and accomplishment. Rediscover and renew yourself. Have fun.

FAILURE AND REJECTION, MAKES YOU STRONGER:
In life, failure and rejection is a learning process instead of disappointment. Though as human, we fear failure and rejection but in reality every use of the word “no” is an opportunity to work harder and turn that “no” into “yes.” In the immortal words of Napoleon Hill, “One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”
Abraham Lincoln is an example of failure and rejection. At the age of seven, Abraham Lincoln and his family were rejected and forced out of their home. Young Lincoln had to work to support his family. He lost his mother at the age of nine and when he grew up, he was eager to read law but had no education.  At 22 he lost his job as a store clerk. A year later, he ran for state legislature and lost. He didn't give up, that same year he went into business and ended up broke and in debt. It took him 17 years to repay the debt. At the age of 27, he had a nervous breakdown. Two year years later, he contested for the post of a speaker in his state legislature and lost. His predicaments were endless. At 31, he was defeated in his attempt to become an elector and four years later he was defeated while running for congress. At the age of 39, he lost his re-election bid.  At 41, his four years old son died. At 42, he was rejected as a prospective land officer. At 45, he ran for the senate and lost. At 47, he lost the vice-presidential domination. Two years later, he ran for senate and lost again. At the age of 51, he was elected the President of the United States of America.
It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere. Put simply, they're not really living at all. In this life, failure to one person might simply be a great learning experience for someone else. Like the saying goes, one man's meat is another's man's poison.The wonderful thing about failure and rejection is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to handle it.

INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG

DAY ONE: Today's Quote:  “I want the world to be better because I was here.” Will Smith  INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG  As the publisher and Editor-in-Chief of a magazine, I read a lot.  Amongst the things I do and find interesting is reading personal development books, listening to inspiring audio programmes and writing motivational materials. Over the years I have built up quite a wealth of knowledge on the subject of motivation and personal development. The urge to start this blog arise with my belief that there is need for me to contribute my knowledge to the society. We are living in a world and last time when there is almost no safe place on earth. Every day, we wake up with negative news from newspapers, radio and television.   Life in every city has become so stressful and very dangerous. News of violence, wickedness, injustice, threat of terrorist strike, natural disaster, and many others saturate everywhere. It’s like there is no safe place any...

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER

DAY THREE: Today's Quote: . “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve Jobs What a beautiful day, thank you Lord for this day. My topic for today is “life is like a river”. First let's look at the definition of life. Life means the existence of an individual human being or animal. Back to the question, how do I see life? I see life like a river flowing on and on, always changing. Your life begins small, just like drops of rain which turns into small streams and eventually great rivers which flow into ocean.  From birth, we were not given a map or guideline on how to go about life. Because we are ignorant of this journey, we are bound to face challenges and obstacles. Living on earth requires that we must expect the unexpected and be prepared for the unknown. There is nothing you can do about it; it is the nature of life. In life, each of us will face some type of crisis and in most cases; we have no personal control over it. Sadly eno...

WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

DAY TEN: Today's Quote: "It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have"-. Drew Barrymore I want to begin by thanking Almighty Lord for my life and for everything and for making me the same person I am today. It's a pity that millions of people go through life searching for the next big thing and trying to be the biggest or the best at everything and they fail to take time and be grateful for the small everyday blessings that God gives in life. Father Lord I just want to say “thank you” I hope today's article will inspire you to be grateful for the good things in your life and stop complaining  about the bad things. WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS: when you look round and take a closer look of yourself, you will agree with me that there are many things to be grateful for. There are so many things to thank God for what he has done for you. If you wake up and you have ...
