DON'T LIMIT YOUR SELF COURAGE IS THE WAY TO SUCCESS

When my Brother-in-law got his car and learnt to drive, he could drive around town but didn't have the courage to drive himself to work, which was about an hour's journey to another state.

So on a certain day, while standing by the roadside with another lady waiting for a public transport to work, a car pulled up beside them. The driver gestured to them and both of them hurried to the car. The man opened the door and the lady entered. When my BIL wanted to enter, he said, "only the lady should enter."

Jesus! See embarrassment! When he had a car lying fallow at home . The following day, he mustered courage and drove himself to work, to and fro. And that was it .

Do you know if Peninnah hadn't provoked Hannah, she might not have groaned in prayer and asked for Samuel the way she did?

Some people started working on their looks because they were body-shamed. Body-shaming is wrong, by the way .
Some people started their business after they've been turned down by many organizations.
What's my point? Disappointment, mockery, and humiliation are sometimes tools needed to get us angry about our situations and snap us out of our complacency and comfort zone, and seek the change we desire.

Instead of being angry with people who have turned you down, get angry in your spirit about your situation and channel your anger to seeking the change you desire through prayers, meditation, information seeking, and action.

Use them as stepping stones to your next level, instead of indulging in self-pity, envy, depression and hatred.
