To Find You - You Must Get Lost


It’s not uncommon that we human are a like jellyfish around challenges. Once it’s evident that the result is not as expected the natural instinctive reaction is to jump ship and abandon the journey. We so much enjoy comfort that we usually forget the fact that it must be worked for in order to have it.

No matter how little or huge a challenge is, the ultimate purpose is not to get you off the rail but the sole aim is to test your ability, strength and importantly weigh how much you really desire the prize and at what degree you are willing to endure the challenges and hardship to secure it.

Majority of us have no clue what we are capable of until we get challenged with something beyond us. Surviving becomes the only option available to us and we will continue to strive to get out of that situation by giving it all it takes – during this process we will feel like we are lost in the wilderness and the world is against us. However, this is just a transformation stage that’s required to get to your desired destination.

In most cases, the universe is designed in a way that in other to have Item C then you may have to go through Z to T and back to G then Z and onward to C eventually but lack of patience in we humans and our inability to believe in our ability along with self-doubt has robbed us of what naturally belongs to us.

Having a delay on your route or missing your path is not a conclusion that the world is against you. Some delays are not only essential for your protection but are tied to your development too. If you are destined to hit the jackpot at age 40, no matter how much you try in your 20’s and in your 30’s – you are only accumulating miles. 

Sometimes – during those challenging period, you will need those experiences when you eventually reach your destination, so avoiding your challenges could be that you are not only postponing your dream reaching date but also robbing yourself of all the necessary experiences and networking that you could have gathered along the line.

Take the precious metal – Gold, for instance. This metal is synonymous with wealth and affluence. And it’s being used worldwide to guarantee the value of currencies. But the journey of Gold didn’t start from a comfort zone. The Gold mining process involves a lot of dredging and extraction process and once this precious stone is found then it still has to go through various other processes from melting in a high degree burning furnace, casting to carving and polishing.

Then the result is those jewelleries you find attractive in jewellers’ showrooms and being worn by the mighty and wealthy in the society. Gold was just another metal until it went through and endured the process of becoming precious and adorable.

It’s okay to get lost, just as it’s okay to find your path back.
Endure your metal process in order to meet your precious stone self.

I don’t know about you – I am a Gold in the making.

Your Relationship And Unhealthy Competition.

By
Your Relationship And Unhealthy Competition. It's not unusual to see people comparing their relationship to that of friends or colleagues. This is very unhealthy no matter what angle you are seeing it from. To start with - the person you are comparing your situation with might be in a worse one actually, you are only being told what you need to hear and not the actual picture of their situation. Also - what works for Mr. A may not work for Mr. B. The fact that you think your mate is having a better relationship than yours does not mean that their partner might be better for you or their modus operandi can be applied to your relationship. Unnecessary exposure of your situation does not help anyone but it complicates the matter, you are now not only the center of gossips among friends but now you are more confused with various suggestions and advises from different quarters. When you and your partner eventually sort your issues out, you have to deal with y...

Prayer + Action = Success

By
Prayer without action is powerless and a road leading nowhere but ruins. I am not a religious person but I am a believer, not many people can tell the difference. I have nothing against religion; however, there must be a defined line between being religious and being stupid. Prayers do get answered, I know as I am a living testimony. When you start leaving everything to God to handle while you sit on your bum then that's pure laziness. Sleeping in the church or mosque doesn't make you a righteous person neither does that guarantee you a front seat in heaven. There are no 99 virgins for anyone that blow him or herself up on earth - common sense; you can't find a virgin in your village how much more in the city and now heaven? You can't even ask girls out! It's no rocket science! Any religion that preaches killing another man is not a religion; if yours do then you need a new religion if necessary. You don't have to be in a Church or Mosque fo...
