challenging yourself

We all should learn how to challenge ourselves on our journey.  Some of us have a hard time being happy because our self-esteem is low and we’re afraid to let ourselves out or should I say be free.  I can understand why people get this way because of circumstances in their lives affect how they are today.  It’s time to get a grip of life and challenge yourself to be all who God made you to be.  It’s okay if you mess up.  Have courage within yourself and do whatever you want to do in your life. 
 
Having low self-esteem will definitely hold you back from being happy and a lot of other opportunities that may come our way.  Remember I told you that you are unique and special.  God needs you to challenge yourself.  You need to have courage to be what he has plan for you.  Let’s challenge the world.  I have to tell you that it really takes away a lot of stress off my life when I just live and take on whatever comes my way.  It’s a win-win situation.  If I mess up, that’s okay.  If I don’t mess up, it’s okay as well.  Every day you get out of your bed, you should be ready to challenge the world or should I say fight the battle.  From my experience, when I don’t challenge myself, I feel bad.  It’s when I challenge myself, I feel like I have accomplished something.  Even if nothing comes out of the situation, I know that I’ve tried my best and there’s nothing else that could have been done. 
 
The bottom line is be you all the time and don’t be afraid to do what you need to do in life.  If you have a problem with gaining courage, ask God to help you but you have to be ready.  I want to share something with you.  I use to have low self-esteem and didn’t think I was good for nothing.   I hated myself and always felt very uncomfortable.  Thank God that I know how to pray.  I prayed for months for God to help me.  He answered my prayers.  Don’t be afraid of anybody and move on with your life.  Walk out in the real world and challenge yourself to be you. 
 
You have to look deep within yourself and do what’s best for you.  Some of us are looking up to other people and not helping ourselves.  If there’s something or someone holding you back from being you, you have to let that go.  I don’t care what financial situation you’re going through, get out.  There are people that can help you make it through.  You will never enjoy your life if you’re holding on to someone that’s not good for you or holding you back from serving God.  Have courage and challenge yourself to be who God made you to be.  If you don’t know what your purpose is, try being yourself and depend on God.  You will reach your destiny.
 
Courage
Are you afraid to be you?
If so, let me tell you what you need to do
 
You need to challenge yourself each day
To be you in each and every way
If you’re shy or scared to cross the line
Pray to God and he will help you to find
 
Courage to be able to walk with him
To fulfill your purpose so we all can win
 
Go with your heart and do what you want to do
Don’t worry about others, just be you
 
God wants to use you in every way he can
 So that you can serve him, he will hold your hand
 
Be brave, you are not alone
God said “come to him you’re welcomed in his home”
 
He will help you to challenge the day
Trust in him every step of the way
 
Live and don’t be afraid
You are a child that God made
 
Life was given to you by God you see
Stand up tall, hold your head held high & be all that God made you to be.
 
 
DON’T BE AFRAID TO CHALLENGE LIFE
 
2 Timothy 1:7
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
