Hello friends

Do you believe lives are incomplete without challenges? Explain how?

Generally life is full of ups and downs. The ups are the times we are happy, joyfully and seem like without challenges. But the downs are the times when it seems as if we are overwhelmed with challenges here and there.

The ups and the downs of life is what makes life complete. So I do believe that lives are incomplete without challenges. I will give you my reason follow me closely.

Challenges we face in life makes us stronger and firm to face life. It has been observed that people who grew up having or facing challenges and more though than those who live life with experiencing challenges.

Challenges creates room for us to grow and become better than we are. Without challenges of life there are aspect of growth that we may never experience. The best way to grow faster in life is to go through some certain challenges.

Challenges makes us find our purpose in life. It is possible to discover and dive into new areas when challenges arise. Someone ones said whenever he is hungry and broke, that's when he thinks out better ideas of how to make money. Now imagine that!.

What has been the most significant challenge you have faced? We invite you to share your most profound real-life stories with us

The most significant challenge I have faced happened some years back when I just moved into a new city. I was homeless and without money or hope of survival.

No job either. It was a difficult situation surviving. I remember several times I slept outside at the corridor of a particular classroom in a school. I didn't even have access to sleep inside the class room.

Feeding was a big issue for me, I wasn't feeding well at that time. My health was deteriorating because I was exposed to cold and mosquitoes.

It was a though period for me because I didn't even know who to talk to at that time. I would go for days without food, all I could afford was sachet water. Terrible!

This experience continued for months, about 6 months and when I finally found a place to stay, I was only allowed to sleep on the floor, no bed, no mat, nothing! To avoid cold I had to improve by using empty cartons as bed.

This was one of the most difficult moment for me and I won't forget it in a hurry. I kept praying that things will change and get better for me. Some friends came along to help me.

A friend suddenly called me from no where and asked me how I was coping, after explaining my ordeal she was really moved and she asked me to come over at her place, guess what? I didn't have transport money to move to her place. I had to trek the long distance. I almost fainted by the time I got to her house.

She welcomed me and gave me food, shelter and protection even money. I saw my life changed before my eyes. Life started getting better onwards.

Share some suggestions that can be helpful while going through different life challenges!

One of the suggestions I can give to anyone going through challenges is to be very optimistic that things will not remain like that forever.

You must keep your faith high and pray that things gets better as you go through that challenges.

Another helpful tip I can give is not to die in silence, speak up. Talk to someone, maybe friends or family members, ask them to help you in any way they can. Even if they can't help you, at least share the challenge with them, it will make you feel a little better.

Don't relax, push yourself to find a way out. I always believe everything I desire can work as long as I put my heart to it. So decide that the challenge is not the end of you.

Life is indeed incomplete without challenges. I would like to invite some friends @ninapenda @okere-blessing @eveetim
