What keeps you going when you do not feel like moving? What drives you when your morale is low? What makes you overlook the challenges and forge ahead?

It is important that you answer these questions because the answer determines how far you can go in life.

No one is immune to being overwhelmed. Your driving force is what holds you together when everything seems to be falling apart.

My anchor is strong faith in God. This gives me the assurance that I will scale through whatever comes my way, because I have scaled through in the past.

So what is your anchor? Is it enduring? Can it hold you when all else fails? I leave you to ponder on the answer.

Remember, “tough times do not last, only tough people do” – Robert Schuller.

Have a great day and do not give up, you may just be steps away from breaking through.

Cheers

If you keep waiting for the best time to do good, evil will keep prevailing around you.

Rely less on those who have betrayed your trust before, they can do it again.

Going alone limits how far you can go, and increases your chances of missing the way.

You are a product of your experiences, same with others, so, judge with consideration.

There’s a tendency to envy those who seem to be successful.

Meanwhile, what we consider as “success” may be their great interpersonal skills and conflict management at play, and in some cases “packaging”, in naija parlance.

Drawing from my experience, there are times I am fortunate to have what some may consider a tidy sum of money, yet it is nowhere near what I require for a pending project.

But again, I am always grateful for such times, because I consider access to such resources a privilege.

In summary, don’t envy anyone because they seem successful, they have their own painpoints too, it may just be on a higher level. Where you need the sum of #100k, another may have the #100k but actually need #1m.

The rooster sweats too, but its feathers conceal the sweat, even the richest man has needs. Do not envy anyone because of their apparent success.

Never assume that you will get away with anything, either you or your offspring will reap the fruits, good or bad.

That you have people around you doesn’t translate to having people who are for you, let that sink in.

Never stop sharpening your skill because you are not being recognized, because at some point your skill will speak for itself.

I took a study leave last week , and resumed work on Monday.

Nothing prepared me for the series of meetings, deadlines and correspondences that required my immediate attention. It was as though a week’s work was packed into that day.

I tried to maintain my cool all day, even though I felt anger inside for so many reasons.
I had many questions racing through my mind. I wondered why I always had to be at the center of all that and handle all the tough tasks.

Anyway, I left the office at 7:30pm, feeling thankful for its close proximity to my house. I had light dinner when I got home and went to bed around 9pm, which was unlike me.

The next morning, my wife inquired about the previous night, and I told her I was angry about some things.

By the time I was rounding up at work yesterday, it dawned on me that the issues that consumed me so much the previous day weren’t that bad. I focused on the negative and let it consume my thoughts.

So, here is the lesson, always take a chill pill and relax. Do not take it all in at once, try to make light of every stressful situation. I hope this helps someone out there.

Have a pleasant day.
