Regardless of who we are, what position we hold, what we possess and how long we live; the only thing that drives us to attaining our goals is having an assurance for success and happiness at the end of it all.

In recent times, people are going through depression due to trials and tribulations and cause them to have the notion that some people are not created to make it in life while others are destined for greatness. They mostly give room for negativity and challenges to happen intentionally due to a disoriented mindset. It may happen that you lose loved ones, job opportunities, business deals or have bad relationships; if you allow these challenges to take charge of your life, it distabilizes our existence and purpose of living.

We humans are not created equally. We are different in character, lifestyle and our abilities but that one thing that is common in our lives is doubt and uncertainty. At one point in life, we have doubted our abilities, skills or self-worth which often leads to Failure and Low Self-Esteem. It is quite natural to have doubts and not to be sure of how things may turn out to be. This rather becomes an obstacle for taking chances; being discouraged to doing things or not having the boldness to try again.

Lack of confidence, doubt and distrust are our common enemies for success and happiness. They cause us to lose interest in our desires while we neglect those expectations and demands from us. Lack of resources is a contributor to our inability to achieve certain goals which usually deprives us from attempting them. We mostly bounce back when we get good motivation, especially when the consequence of these defects overweights our desired goals and visions in Life. The people around us when challenges occur also play important roles in our lives at that time. It is either they are uplifting you with constant encouragement and support or they are adding more issues to your life by obtaining from you and not giving you a reason to live.

Having an assurance of good happenings usually paves the way for our confidence to take charge of any issue or situation that may occur during the execution of our goals or when we are interrupted with unforseen circumstances. Assurance is an uncompromising commitment that helps us retain a positive mindset and idea. It gives us the strength to keep moving forward regardless of whatever comes our way.

To maintain your assurance, it is best to be Enthusiastic, Assertive, Trustworthy, Tenacious, noble-minded, Perseverant and Grateful in all you do in life. You may as well read the earlier posts on these qualities for better understanding.

Would you rather give up or keep holding on to that great end? The choice is yours to make.
