It’s August 1 2017 (Please don’t pay attention to what the date at
the top of the article says!)
Today is the first of August 2017 and I’m sitting here with
my laptop at 3:19am, led to write this.
I know that feeling of panic some of us get when a new month
comes, especially when it’s a month closer to the end of the year than the
beginning of the year.
You’re thinking “Oh no! It’s August already and my life is
pretty much the same. I haven’t moved in life, I haven’t achieved anything so
far or my achievements have been snail-paced”
I need you to FOCUS this morning. Wherever you are, you need
to GROW UP a little. It’s time to stop being the person you were in the first 7
months of this year. It’s time to do something different.
Re-train your mind. Think Different, Act Different. Stop
being the person who only knows how to count the problems, dwell on the
frustrations or embrace the depressions.
The world is crazy right now, don’t also join the wagon of ‘What’s-the-use?’
people. These are people who like to shrug and say “what’s the use?” to every
idea or opportunity presented to them. Before they even try, they already believe
it will fail due to ‘the economy’, ‘the government’, ‘family member(s)’, ‘unknown
enemies’, ‘ancestral curses’, ‘terrible lineage’, ‘village people’, ‘the
current president’, ‘people might say no’, ‘lack of finances/not enough finance’,
‘their uncaring spouse’, ‘suspicious neighbours’ and a host of other challenges
they can come up with.
Listen, I’m not saying challenges don’t exist, I’m saying be
careful, because if you become so adept in looking for the problem with the
situation before you even try it, then dear friend, you’re gradually succumbing
to a class called LAZY. Never shy from new ideas. Do your research, make sure
it’s workable, then go for it. But stop having automatic negative responses for
EVERY opportunity that comes your way, it’s the fastest way to exit life.
You -we all, in fact-
need to wake up from the dreary slumber
of ‘Nothing is working out so let me just sit in this corner and cry’. GET UP! Stop
feeling sorry for yourself! Stop selling yourself short! You are better than
you think you are! You have a lot more to give in life than you give yourself
credit for!
God is not done with you, so why are you done with yourself?!
HOLD ON, the war
isn’t over yet, there are still many battles to be won.
LET GO, it’s time
to get rid of that constant negative mindset, the fear, the anxiety.
Okay Darlings, I will stop talking now and leave you with
these quotes, I hope you learn something.
HAPPY NEW MONTH MY DEARS!
