One day a researcher placed two children in separate rooms. The first child was placed in a colorful room filled with all kinds of toys, while the other child was placed in a room full of horse manure.
But soon the child who was placed in a nice room asked to leave because he found the toys in his room boring and too breakable. Likewise with the other child, he also came out of his room but asked for a shovel to clean the room because he was sure there must be a pony around there.
From this story we will be able to reflect on how people view when placed in different situations. An optimistic person will never give up even though there are many challenges or when there are difficulties. It will even go forward. Those who remain optimistic will always have the belief that they can definitely achieve victory. Conversely, pessimistic people will easily give up if things don’t suit their heart.
A person’s perspective will determine the success he will achieve. As God’s people, we must have an optimistic outlook even though we are in a difficult situation. We must take action to keep moving forward and must not give up easily with the existing conditions, because this is one of the keys to success. Even if we fail, don’t be afraid because failure is just a process for us to achieve success. God will not allow us to be losers. So stay positive. Someone who gives up easily will find it difficult to achieve their hopes and dreams because they never take action.
In the midst of the life struggles we live in, let us not only have a negative outlook. But always have a sense of optimism and have faith in God. Remember that He created us more than conquerors. There may be many reasons that make us give up and be pessimistic, but with God there is always a reason for us to move forward to achieve success, because God always provides a way for us.
So no matter what our condition is today, don’t be afraid. Live life with God and stay optimistic. “So what shall we say about all that? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
