I've stated before, but let me once again emphasize The FACT, that life is a schoolhouse for all of us as we travel the road of life. Now as we all know, when we go to school it's primarily for the purpose of increasing our knowledge. At the end of each term when we are attending school, and sometimes more frequently, we have to do tests, we have exams. After all, if we did not have these tests, these exams, the Teacher would not know if we were in fact learning the lessons which they were endeavoring to teach us. So the tests show the Teacher that we have indeed been paying attention to what they've been teaching us throughout the term, throughout the year and have thus learned our lessons, we have fully absorbed the vital information they've imparted to us.
Well, as we go through life, we will all go through 'Times Of Testing' as today's title puts it, to ascertain if we are learning the lessons which life itself is endeavoring to teach us. Now, as we partake in The Schoolhouse of Life, so many of the vital lessons are imparted to us through our failures, our temporary setbacks. That's right, when we fail at something, we are supposed to learn an invaluable lesson.
The sad thing for me to consistently observe however, is that a whole lot of people appear not to be learning the lessons which their temporary failures are designed to teach them as they continue to repeat their previous mistakes, thus getting a failure grade.
Yes My Friend, the very next time you fail at something, which incidentally, we all do from time to time, it's just part of the course; instead of getting really uptight as so many do, why don't you just remind yourself that as the title of today's article states it, we will all go through inevitable 'Times Of Testing' as we travel the road of life endeavoring to reach the desired destination, which is of course Success City.
So, the next time you get a severe test in life, please remember that any failures you experience are indeed temporary setbacks and were designed by The Creator of The Universe to teach you an invaluable lesson of what does not work. So, don't give up but instead move ahead with Discipline and Determination while always learning invaluable lessons during your 'Times Of Testing'. This is surely the way to finally arrive at Success City.....Yes it is!
