How do we overcome our limiting beliefs especially when faced with trials and adversities?
We are often amazed with stories of people who triumphed in the face of adversity. It's our source of inspiration.
We can remember in history, Franklin D. Roosevelt who was paralyzed with polio from waist down before he ran for office, he then became four time president of US.
Sylvester Stalone's paralysis on his face due to complications his mother suffered during labor that forced her obstetricians to use 2 pairs of forceps during his birth; accidentally severed a nerve and caused the paralysis which gave him his snarling look and slightly slurred speech. He looked beyond his appearance and wrote and starred in three-Oscar-winning (10 nominations) Rocky.
Victor Frankl was imprisoned at several concentration camps and his wife and family were killed by the Nazis. His painful experience led him to write Man's Search For Meaning, 1 of "the 10 most influential books in the US". Upon his death in 1997, the book had sold over 10 million copies and had been translated into 24 languages.
What painful experience have you suffered that deters you in fulfilling your goals?
"Realize that it is in our brokenness that we draw closer to God, it is in our despair that we reflect more in ourselves, it is in rejection that we discover our worth, it is in injustice that we muster courage and stand for what is right, it is in failure that we start anew and invent another..."
Look beyond your pain and discover what you can become.
