Building Life
English book, p. 79
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Self-Mastery despair, while seeing it as a challenge encourages a mindset to confront it. If you see a difficulty simply as a problem, even your current abilities will weaken. Your ability to think will become frozen. But when you see a difficulty as a challenge, new courage emerges within you. Your mind begins to work more effectively than before. You come up with new strategies to move forward. A person who experiences only ease becomes limited, and his thinking becomes shallow. But a person who faces hardships and difficulties grows stronger, and his thinking gains depth. Difficulty acts as a teacher. Through challenges, a person learns things that can’t be taught in any classroom. Difficulty adds experience to a person’s knowledge, turning what one has merely read or heard into personal discovery. The difficulties in life are part of life’s journey. They are there to help you rise from the bottom to the top and become the master of your hidden treasures. SELF-MASTERY The individual who masters themselves will find it easier to influence others. A person shapes their own fate. Success involves overcoming personal weaknesses, while failure results from being overwhelmed by them.
