Life - For A Time As This.

Life has its way of getting underneath our skin. Just when you think you understand life, some things would happen just to turn your understanding upside. Life can be humourous in that regard.

I have come to understand one thing about life and that is, life responds to pressure. The more you keep at it, the more you have that headway. Often we look at how others are having it good and we just lose track of our journey. We start chasing shadows and wondering why we are not having headway. It is simple, we major on the minor and minor on the major. We keep running other people's race while leaving ours unattended.

Life will either bless you or bury you. It is not what others say about you that matters but what you say to yourself when they are done talking. You are here for such a time as this. Don't expect life to be perfect. Don't expect your journey to be without trials. How else do you think the gold come forth? After going through several processes, it comes out as purified and solid.

Many people have become a secondary character in their life's journey. They cave-in after some downtimes forgetting that our strength is not in falling but in rising. God knows I have had my fair share of misfortunes but here I am still holding the forte.

What would the world miss if you were not born? This is a question we need to ask ourselves from time to time so we can be on our toes. A lot of people achieve certain things and they plateau there, forgetting that today's achievement is tomorrow's mediocrity. We all have a why and until we understand our 'why' we might never know the 'how'.

Why were you created? What problem have you come to solve? The problem of not know 'why' started from a tender age when we were asked "What do you want to become in life?" rather than being asked, "What problem would you like to solve in life?" We have been conditioned to get by rather than leave our footprints on the sand of time. We need a shift and I am here to say, you are here for a time as this. If there is a particular problem you are seeing which others are not, it is simply because you are the one to solve it. Don't expect others to understand what you feel so strongly about until the results start showing for it.

Who you are is greater than what you have because what you have is a result of who you are and I will always recognize that commitment is the primary key to achieve goals in life. You are here to make a difference. You are here to see what others can't see and make life easy for others. Life rewards persistence and when we know that our main purpose is to solve a problem and not create one, then the motivation comes easy. If you don't know what motivates you yet it is because you don't understand what purpose you are serving yet.

You are here for such a time as this when everything is not working, where most things seem broken, when betrayal is on the high and loyalty has been locked to the curb. You are here in this life, on this side of the world because there is something the world is relying on that only you have answers to. Don't die with dreams unattained and problems unsolved. I didn't say it would be easy, but it would be worth it. Fortune indeed often favour the brave.

Some might ask, "What if it doesn't work out?" To this, I would say, "What if it does?"

We never can know until we try. Our fear often hinders us. Courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of fear yet the will goes on. Do it afraid and let your mind always tell you that, "You are here for such a time as this."

There is a dream inside you. There is a voice waiting to break loose. You have the tongue of a lion why allow your voice to be tamed? You have the strength of an eagle why allow yourself not to soar? You have the capacity on your inside, fan it into flames. We are here to provide solutions and make life easier for each other. Do your part.
