Blogging Challenge Second Part - Day 1, Word "Successful", who comes to your mind?

I saw this blogging challenge initiative by @macchiata and I decided to join the initiative. I will be answering the first question that says, Word "sucessfull", who comes to your mind?

One who is successful is one who has gone througn storms, tribualtions, challenges, critics, pains, mockery and still came out strong and bold and Joyce Meyer is one of the woman who I respect for that.

I am not actually a fan of looking up to someone but when we talk about the word successful, I think about JOYCE MEYER. Although she isn't the only succesful person but her life story makes me see her as one.

After going through her book, I was forced to go through her history and I am indeed pleased at what I was able to gather. The 78 years old woman who have faced so much in life still see reasons to encourage thousands of girls, ladies and women out there and one of her book caught my attention, "The Confident woman.

After been sexually abused by her father who was an army, got married to her husband shortly after her senior year of high school but her husband was a cheat and always advised her to steal payroll checks from her employer. Funny enough the mariage lasted for only five years before she gto divorce.

She became a fan to the local bars just so she could drown her sad life into that before she meet her current husband and today, she one of the successful best author books seller.

Do you know what it means to be sexually abused by the person you look up to and call father? She was sexually abused but that didn't stop her after she realized that the life she was living wasn't the best. She came across God and decided to follow His leading even though she wasn't a church goer and knew nothing much about God but she still alowed Him to use her and today she is a blessing to thousands.

Notwithstanding, the critics and pains she went through at her young age, she kept on moving and also decided to serve God by founding her own ministry, she began t write books, prodacting on radio to help those who have been abused to come out of their pains and do soemthing with their lives because it is no the end of there life.

She is the bestselling Christian speaker and an author of over 70 self-help books that have sold across the nations

In one of her books, she made me realize that "Age is a number but old is a mindset and in staying young, we have to learn to live outside the box of what people say. The ever young woman who inspires thousands of people around the world is indeed a successful woman to be thought about.

She is worth over 8 million dollars and not only that, she is known by thousands of people around the globe which speaks volume about her books.

She is a conqueror and a strong woman and has taught me never to let my past failure or mistakes determine my future outcome no matter what. I should keep standing and moving no matter the challnges and should always remember to pray to God and invite Him daily in my everyday activities and dealings.

Thanks for reading through my blog.
