Pen on paper, from
paper to paper and then I bind with a stapler, that’s how I bring my thoughts
to life.”
Good evening people, busy day unh? Well, here’s your encouragement, you’ll never
get less busy, yeah you heard me, never ever forever, you’ll just eventually
have to fall in love with your work or job or whatever it is that you are
chasing.
Let me take you through this, aiit? Thank you.
As a baby, what
mattered then was mums breasts, pooping on yourself and making a lot of noise
crying. As a growing child, likes changed, you now have school, you now tell
funny stories, tell few lies (yeah, remember all those fake stories, those ones
you cooked up, hmm….yeah those ones) bruise yourself while playing rough, see
cartoons, bruise yourself again, school inter house sports on and on…… all this
while you are busy watching others grow and thinking to yourself, when do I get
to “Grow up”? Soon enough.
Now, you are a
teenager, you’ve got more to worry about there’s this person you are crushing
on, and you really need to yield to the Holy Spirit to help you focus on the
right thing—Spiritual Growth— there’s Mum and Dad, and they are ALWAYS
reminding of how you need to constantly remember where you are coming
from and where you are going. How they really expect you to wake up one morning
all grown up and mature , they never want to see you repeat the same mistakes
they made, there’s school and your grades and then you have dreams (big ones)
and you are still trying to figure out how to birth them.
And what’s this thing about always being bored I hear everywhere, frankly,
boredom is a disease and its spreading really fast. The thing is; a lot of
young people need to understand that happiness is a personal thing. You
can only get to share in people's in happiness and also give them a chance to
share in yours, the only human being that can make you happy is you!
If you don’t learn
how to truly find happiness and be happy all by yourself, what happens when
your friends leave or break your trust, what happens then? I’m guessing it’s
gonna be a long steep slope down into loneliness.
You should know that
being ALONE and being LONELY are not the same thing, being alone involves a
complete understanding of self- worth, it means being able to find happiness
from within, enjoying being all by yourself, finding peace in your Maker, From
Him and in Him, anyone who finds this will always be a light in the dark and a
good reason to smile for many.
Loneliness on the other hand is a disease eating real deep into
happiness, keeps you worried for no reason, and it never comes without
its friends—depression and a window for temptation.
Soon you are all grown up, and planning to get married, trying to settle in
life with the One. You have a job and you still have plans to birth your dreams
with an added advantage, you now have your own finances! In the same time,
you’re either trying to be a good mother or Father and a good husband or wife
as well, you love your kids, you have to be there for them, you want to see
them grow, you want them happy. You still have your parents but now they need
you, they need you to be around them, they want to see their grand-children and
they want to spend time with them.
Let’s dig deeper. Shall we?
If you are a woman, you’ll have to be both a good Mum and a great wife; you
definitely would have to be your best at both. Your husband wants to know he
still gets his alone time with you (oh yeah) without the kids disturbing and
yet you have kids who would love to run all around the house making noise and
asking Mummy funny questions.
With all of these you’ve got to maintain a growing relationship with GOD
ensuring you spend quality time with HIM, without whom there would be no
purpose for all I’ve just mentioned.
For a man, here’s the deal, first you are a man, and mehn being one takes the
LOVE of GOD, so first you have to Love GOD greatly and you have to understand
to teach your wife and kids to LOVE GOD also. This is the only way to establish
and maintain LOVE in the family, its all about GOD.
You’ll be husband to your wife taking care of her emotional
and financial needs simultaneously, you’ll also have to be a great father to
the kids, a great Dad who will show them the way to find GOD. Taking care of
their moral, emotional and financial needs. *mehn, that’s a lot*
So, tell me, when do you ever get less busy? You only would have to learn to
apply yourself to time. You cannot manage time, there’s no such thing as time
management because you can neither control time nor save some up for tomorrow.
You exist under its influence, so getting less busy, ahn ahn... that never
happens, you’ve just got to get better with making prudent and wise use of
every hour.
So, now you know, its always going to be busy, so get ready, be steady and I’m
sure you’ll get home strong.
