Jamielyn Dela Cruz (IV-Matthew), a Senior Girl Scout, through the initiative of the GSP Coordinator Ms. Angelita Berces, started the Chief Girl Scout Medal Scheme Project in August 2010. The said medal scheme project is a one-year task to be taken by a Girl Scout who aims the highest achievement in the Girl Scout Movement.
2010 has just gone by and a new year is laid before us. Though we don’t know exactly what is in store for us this year, one thing is for sure: a new year is the beginning of brand new CHALLENGES.
As we move forward and upward in life, the trials we meet also move forward and upward. They get more and more complicated each time. The problem is, most of the time, when we face an obstacle in our path that we have not encountered before, we just decide to give up.
They say that the key to success is by having integrity. Integrity means having good life principles or beliefs AND sticking to them. I know a lot of people who have good principles and beliefs but only a few actually stick to them. When we try doing something good that is beyond our comfort zone, we usually give up trying.
Imagine this: As a seatwork, your Math teacher asked you to solve a very tricky equation. After a few seconds of staring at the whiteboard, you say “Ang hirap naman niyan! Hindi ko na nga sasagutan! Bahala na si Batman!” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?Why do people frequently give up when coming across a rough problem? As implied in the situation above, people always complain before they even try doing the task entrusted to them or a dilemma they are up against. This shows that the only actual difference between a hard task and an easy task is one’s attitude towards it. When one’s mind is already set on hating a certain errand, one ends up not trying it; and when one does try but still does not change one’s mind set, one becomes unwilling to continue.
We should be like an athlete competing in a hurdle race. Though different obstacles come their way, these never stopped them from reaching the finish line and bringing home the gold. When hurdles arise, do not think of it as difficult or impossible to go through, instead, think of it as your next step to success. Remember, God will not give us a problem that He knows we cannot overcome. So whenever a new problem comes up, always do your best and ask for His guidance throughout your journey. As Chronicles 15:7 says, “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” Therefore, giving up is not an option!
