Too often I have heard that when you are faced with so many issues and you feel like you can’t go on that is when your breakthrough is around the corner. Breakthrough to what I ask myself? That is where the problem lies.
From experience I have discovered that when Mr. Issue and Mrs. Trouble bring their ugly heads into our lives we try everything possible to take them out of our lives and where we can’t, we end up depressed, sad and sometimes pessimistic about life.
Whoever said trouble and issues have to be far away from us? Where did we ever get the notion that living our lives outside challenges would be heavenly?
You should know that having an extra year in school, getting laid off anything unjustly, not getting the job you hoped for, not marrying the man you wanted; in summary not having your dream is not a setback but an avenue to let you know that you are worth more, that your dream can be bigger than that.
Most times in life we go through series of pain so as to understand and appreciate our worth, most people especially in Nigeria always settle for less because they “feel” they don’t deserve lives best.
Just like Paul in the bible he prayed and prayed for the thorn to leave his flesh but after a while he accepted it as a check on his character.
Please let us endeavor not to dwell on the challenges and waste time on removing it but let us try to see the good it brings out of us.
That setback is there for you to make the extra ordinary out of the ordinary and that’s what makes successful people. Adios!
