Every Challenge is a Mental One

A long time ago, somebody told me that "Every challenge is a mental one". The basic idea is that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. To some extend, I have found this to be true. Motivation makes a huge difference when faced with an unpleasant and huge task.

However, this bit of advice seems steeped in humanism, the belief that people can basically accomplish anything without any help from God. God is our creator, and He is the one who guides the direction of our lives. If we are Christians, we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. With the power of the Holy Spirit, sure, we can accomplish anything that God wants us to do. But we always need to acknowledge this power and not fall into the trap of believing that we can do anything.
