Recently I saw a dog chase a ball into a hole. I particularly could not remember what caught my interest; the cute dog or his determination to get the ball out of the hole. I saw how determined the dog was not to let go of the ball; he was not ready to lose the battle to the hole. He started digging out the hole to get the ball out by all means. It was tough, it was hard, it took time, but he did it! I could feel the excitement as he took the ball and ran to his owner wiggling its tail up, down, left and right.
See, the dog could have stood there crying over spilled milk or lamenting the balls trip to the hole. You and I know that approach will never get him anywhere near getting the ball back. Beloved, there is nothing wrong with where you are today in life; however, everything is wrong or significant about what you are doing today to get to where you want to be tomorrow. A man can be low today but for him not to remain low tomorrow, depends on what he does with his life today. That you were born into a poor family does not automatically mean you will die poor if you are determined to do something about it. That no one in your family has ever attended or graduated from the university does not mean you will fall into the same queue.
However, you are likely to follow that bad or negative trend if you refuse to do anything about it. My point actually is, quit lamenting about where you are today or what is happening to you right now. Instead, start doing something about getting out of that problem. In this new year, always remember, it matters not where you are but what you do where you are.
Happy New Year, 2013.

ReplyDeleteIt is wise to leave to live in the NOW for nothing is promised and tomorrow never comes. Why...today when we speak of tomorrow we mean the next day however once the next day comes its no longer tomorrow it is today, it is NOW hence tomorrow never comes and today never stays.

Awesome article...we're responsible for how we end up in life. It may have been our parent's fault that you were born into that situation but you can come out of it if you're willing and determined. Stepping out of our comfort zone is very important to getting to the next level.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with where you are today!
ReplyDeleteTrue, if you have a vision for where you want to be tomorrow.
False, if you are striving to meet the vision (& expectations) of people for you.
Hi Samuel, How are you? hope you and everything concerning you is okay. Keep pressing....Keep striving!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
