Post that give me courage to keep moving

Speaking of inspiring stories, I just have to give it to Peace Tommy for this one—a belief she once held but later changed. Honestly, this made me smile 😊 because why not? The presence of God in a story always makes it more beautiful. Here’s what she shared:

For a long time, Peace believed success was all about her effort alone.
Read every book. Stay up late. Push harder. Grind nonstop—and boom, success will show up.

That was her formula.

Especially as a student, she thought the only way to pass exams or succeed at anything was by reading until her brain was full. And don’t get me wrong—hard work matters. Preparation matters. But here’s what she discovered: success is not about strength alone.

After all the sleepless nights and pressure, the results didn’t always match the effort. Sometimes, she would walk into the exam hall and forget things. Other times, she’d leave without confidence in what she wrote. Frustrating, right?

Then something changed. Peace started leaning less on herself and more on God. And everything shifted. Exams no longer felt like a battlefield. She walked in with calm confidence—not because she didn’t prepare, but because she knew she wasn’t doing it alone.

That realization changed everything.

Now, she sees success as a partnership:
✅ Her effort — showing up, studying, practicing her craft, doing her part.
✅ God’s grace — providing wisdom, peace, and favor to make it all work.

It’s the difference between struggling in your own strength and walking with an unshakable backup you can trust.

And here’s what really stood out for me—and why I’m sharing this with you:

✨ Don’t get tired or discouraged because of a challenging situation.
✨ Don’t be hard on yourself or think less of yourself because of what you’re facing right now.
✨ Remember this: the situation came to pass, not to stay.
✨ Don’t give the negative power by dwelling on it with your thoughts or words.
✨ You are bigger than any challenge. Give yourself some grace.

Show yourself compassion and love. And above all, trust God’s hand in your process.

Your effort matters—but effort alone isn’t everything. Hustle has its place, but peace, grace, and trust in God take you further.

So keep your faith alive every single day, even when it’s tough—that’s an accomplishment in itself.

Just like a tea bag releases flavor when placed in hot water, let life’s heat bring out your best. Infuse your world with hope, grace, and positivity.

Don’t let the challenge break you; let it shape you. Don’t let it silence you; let it strengthen your voice.

Because real success isn’t about hustle alone—it’s about hard work plus God’s hand on it.
And that, my friend, is what makes all the difference. 🙌
