[QUOTE="bekkilyn, post: 74247451, member: 397705"] However, we cannot assume that what is easy for us is identically easy for others. Maybe being "an overcomer" is a great gift that God has given you so that you can use it in some way for the benefit of others who do not share this same gift. It's a lesson I've had to learn over the years. I would just assume that everyone can do whatever I was doing and then would later be shocked to find out that no, they really can't. Nowadays, we get brought up with so many platitudes about how we can do anything if we just set our minds to it, but it's really not true. Many people are at the point where they don't even have any clue how to set their minds, let alone actually doing anything about it afterwards. To many, challenges aren't a *part* of life...their entire life is a challenge and they've never experienced anything else to the point where they may not even be able to think clearly or rationally about their own situations. There is no "world full of opportunity" for them because they are clearly living in survival mode. [/QUOTE]
