To each and every action in this world, there is an effect. This could either put a smile on your face or cause a tear to run down your cheek. This smile has the potential of lasting forever while this tear on the other hand, has the potential of confiscating every bit of your joy and self esteem. But it all depends on you and your reaction to situations.
Sometimes we are left with no other alternative but to surrender. It seems your situation has drained every breath of life in you. Your own action do not reconcile with your conscience. Then you ask yourself “what is wrong with me?” or perhaps “what is happening to me?” It seems all the tunnels to your success have been blocked by your failures.
But there is one thing we always forget, that no matter how huge your problem may seem, you are better than someone in your own special way. It’s funny how I always ask my pals “imagine jobs were sold in the market, what would you have bought for yourself?” Out of ten, seven said they would have bought doctoring or lawyering. That seems pretty cool huh? But none said, I will buy teaching not to even talk of farming, forgetting life always has a starting point. I'm not saying do not follow your dream neither am I saying that do not dream because this world actually belongs to those who chase and have faith in the beauty of their dreams. But all that i am saying is that do not dream and expect it to become beautiful someday whilst you sit in that lazy chair and watch your colleagues who dream dreams struggle. This world belongs to dream chasers and not dream wishers. Never let anyone tell you that you can't do anything because you are a great asset and not a liability. The last time someone said I can't do anything was when I wrote my first poem and it was amazing the number of likes I had on Facebook.
People say that destiny can’t be changed, even some pastors do, but I like to think that one’s destiny begins to change as soon as one cultivates a change of attitude and mentality. The point is that when you haven’t come into contact with someone’s problem, you think yours is too much for you to carry. You even see darkness when you are supposed to see the light. I'm not saying that be contented with who you are today because you can always fight for more until you've got nothing left inside of you and become a better person tomorrow. Never settle for things that are not tangible and ungodly but use your time as if tomorrow is the apocalypse. We sometimes have to experience something so that we know how to get out of something. You don’t wake up one
morning and presume it rained simply because there are drops of water at your doorstep. Instead of asking questions you know clearly that you will never receive answers from anyone except yourself, instead of wandering at that corner of the beach and almost stripping naked to drown in that pool of depression, why don’t you get up and do something worthwhile with your life. Never blame God for your predicaments neither should you blame anyone. Instead, think of a way out because there is always a way.
Always look at the greener part of the grass and make faith and hard work your ingredients to success
