Life they say is an interesting journey with mountains, pits and valleys not knowing where it might lead to. There are several things man may not be able to wish away: death, epidemic, famine, sickness and disaster.
I am beginning to think that “our” single prayer should be for God to give us the sincerity to cope with the things we cannot change, the courage to change what we can change and the wisdom to know the difference. Life is an amazing trip, not so much of its destination but the journey itself.
In a world of ever changing events, how long are we going to live our lives being victims of circumstances? There is no doubt that the economy is at it’s worst, but we must look beyond, knowing that we are living in the “good old days”, taking charge of life and destiny not giving to thought of propaganda with the “nothing I can do” slogan. Ben Franklin said, “Heaven help those who help themselves”.
We must live in the “good old days”, as we strife to reach into our innermost self for the abundance of power, zeal, talent and potential that has been bestowed in us for the benefit of mankind.
We have been supernaturally designed to succeed, so we must take a stand against adversity, it is a crime against humanity to fail. In us lies the power of the entire universe, to do as we please for the upliftment of our species.
At this point in time when history is rewritten, we can’t afford to sit in comfort of chains of mental slavery of “I can’t”, “I am not worthy”, “or who I am”, the question is “why not you?”. You have been blessed immeasurable with talent beyond your wildest imagination. Playing with the mentality of self pity over past failures has to stop! If and only if we are going to achieve our dreams.
There is no better you, you are the best that will ever come, no matter how many copycats there is, they will never be you, no matter what people do, there will never be another you. They can search but they can never find, they can try to rewind time, but there is only one you. You are one of a kind, never before in history was there anyone like you. We have been given a life long and short enough to make a difference to change the course of history and generations after generations.
Let’s think for a minute, where you are now is as a result of the yesterday’s you, for we make a choice to either partner with God or the devil by our actions. We cannot wish problems away, remember problem comes to both the just and unjust, so stop the “why me” self pity and move on.
There is no doubt that getting out of Egypt is a long scary exodus journey, with long nights of walking in the desert of uncertainty, mountain and hills of discouragement, loneliness and pain without hope, but if you can only keep a little faith, just a little faith, then you will see a ray of hope of the promise land. Without the exodus journey, the promise land is a mirage, life throws its best challenges at us not to stop us, but to equip and sharpen our survival tentacles to be able to live in glorious future here on earth. So it doesn’t matter, you just keep holding on, keep on believing, for there is always a ray of hope in the midst of the trouble when we look beyond yesterday.
As we look beyond yesterday in our journey of greatness to the paradise of fulfillment, it’s also surrounded with the red sea of doubt and the rushing force of the Egyptian Chariots of fear. We can say I like Apostle Paul, I have finished my course, I have fought a good fight and I believe together as a team we will achieve our dreams.
Martins Luther king once said “Even longevity has its place”.
This write up is dedicated to two courageous and loving people who impacted their world with kind words. They came, saw, conquered and finished their course.
We know why God wanted you both with him, you were angles on earth.
You both knew that longevity is not how long we live, but the memories we leave behind.
As we look beyond yesterday, we miss you both, but in our hearts you both life forever.
To Mrs. Rose Mafiejor & Mrs. Jesse Evwodere
