How many times have you been in a situation where you think it is the end of the road for you? The trials were of such magnitude that you can hardly breathe, wracking your brains for solutions that were nowhere to be found.
How about trying to prove your self true to the person that you have vowed to love and to hold until this lifetime ends? No matter how you express the adoration in words and action, you were not taken seriously, and in fact were mocked many times over.
Have you ever been in a situation where you cried your eyes dry asking forgiveness for all your trespasses but those people even had the nerved to refuse listening to your pleas and explanation?
What about bruising your knees kneeling and bowing your head so low in church praying for that one request you wanted so badly but didn’t get?
These are some of the few obstacles we face each day, bullied to and fro by disappointment, pain and hardships that makes us scatterbrains.
On the other hand, have you also experienced getting that unexpected recognition and promotion from work?
Or be blessed with a child, whose smile can melt your heart away and remove all the tiredness that you feel after a hard day’s work.
How about being a recipient of undying love and affection, celebrating anniversaries and special moments with love ones.
What about getting a negative result from all your medical check-up, thus a clean bill of health?
Or an unexpected answer to a prayer long forgotten, but was provided in the most opportune time?
The good stuff outweighs the bad, right? And yet, we always find some inane reason to complain about so many things, making us ingrates for all the blessings we get. When we have found that precious time to assess our existence in this world, and don’t wait when you are in your deathbed, please remember one thing à we are the reason why things happen to us. It is not because of some cosmic rotation of the planets, or the zodiacs aligning in the universe, or that irritating person we met along the way, and never because God just doesn’t seem to listen to us.
It is always about what we do, how we do it, and why we do it that things happen to us. So let us quit pointing all our fingers at somebody or something else and just about time, point it back to us. Taking responsibility for what we have become is the easiest way to come to terms about everything that happened to us. Along the way, we not only gain the respect of others, but we also become wiser. And wisdom is a good enough weapon for us to overcome whatever obstacles will come our way.
Good luck and make this year be great!! We all have the means.
