I have noticed that the most difficult set of people to help are those that enjoy the pity, attention and other benefits that their problems bring to them. Their main problem is that they have a very low self esteme,their problems define them e.g. the girl with the broken arm. Without these problems, they are just another face in the crowd. They hate the pains the problems bring but love more the attention they get.A story was told of a blind man who went to a crusade ground to beg alms, but while the preacher was praying his eyes were opened. At first he shouted for joy but on second thought, he approached the preacher and asked that his blindness be restored so he could keep on begging.
You have to hate your problem enough to let it go.

Love!
Love in most quarters is believed to be a feeling that is deep and usually unexplainable. Novels and films give us the impression it is intoxicating, irresistible and uncontrollable.
Some don’t believe it exist at all, they think it’s a fiction or fantasy for they‘ve never experienced it.
Love, I believe is more than a feeling. I see it as knowledge of acceptance in spite of one’s weaknesses. This knowledge could manifest in a sweet feeling and longing to be with the one towards whom or from whom we notice this acceptance.
The fact is that no one ever feels complete without love, but we look in the wrong places for love. We look to people who themselves know little or nothing about love. True love is found ONLY in the person of Jesus because He is the expression of God’s love for us. The scripture says God is love [1Jn4:8] and this love He expressed to us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us [Rom.5:6].In this, God showed us acceptance in spite of our sins. It is impossible for any one that has not accepted this great love to express love to another [1Jn4:8, 16]
MY SUBMISSION love is a decision you have to make, first to accept the love of God, also to accept others in spite of their shortcomings.

It is true that you cannot control what life throws at you,in that there are certain things you can't change about you. Take example of your lineage:who your parents are,your blood group etc,your physical appearance in terms of height, beauty,stature etc. But you can shake off the effects and still make the best of your life.
The first step is to sit down and take stock of those things you consider disadvantages,if possible write them out. Face the reality,accept that they are there decide to have an 'inspite of' spirit i.e.inspite of all these,i will still make it.
Focus on the goal and look for those things in you that give you the slightest chance at it. Improve on those strengths,everything you need to live your dream is inherent in you what you need is to discover them and use them.
Snatch your life from fate,dare to dream and work to make them come true,GOD will be wicked to allow you have dreams you can't actualize. That you can dream it is a prove you can live it.
