THINK OF GIVING UP? REASON WHY YOU SHOULD THINK OTHERWISE

And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

—Galatians 6:9

Are you on a precipice? Do you think you are losing it? Are you on the verge of giving up totally? You think nothing is working and your prayers are not being answered? Well, hear this; you may just well be close to your break through!

Perhaps, also you have been asking the wrong questions and doing the wrong things or not even doing anything at all; sure, that's why nothing seems to move for you. You need to know where you fall under the later questions and begin to move on the right paradigm. The solution to your predicament is not in giving up. The solution is in hanging on and changing your strategies and listening to the right words your heart

s speaks to you.

History is rich with people, who today are life changers and multi-millionaires who once in their life time found themselves in the same situation you are in now, but decided to take action rather than let empathy, pity and their circumstances engulf them. As a matter of fact, their hopeless and helpless situation provided them a means (courage) out of their quagmire. Always remember that your destiny, your future, your purpose can only be shaped by you and no one else. First, you have to realize this fact and then quit blaming your parents, your friend, brother or whoever for being the cause or your problems. Look yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, " i am where i am because i choose to be there". Then ask yourself, do you really like where you are at the moment? If the answer is NO! Then move away from the position you are in right now and start moving towards where you deserve (not desire) to be. Only you can move yourself to that place, no one else can.

Well, you may be asking, how can i move myself to where i want to be? How do i even know which road to take to get to where i deserve to be? I will oblige to all these questions in the next part of this newsletter. but mean while, let us talk of you, yes you who is doing the good work and seeing no result. 

It doesn't matter how long you have committed to that good cause, job, idea, business etc and it's not working out and yielding the results you need. What matters is that you are doing something worthwhile. As an entrepreneur, one virtue you need is "PATIENCE". To know that before you begin to reap from any crop, you must first of all plant and the seed must die and decay, then start the process of growing to the finally stage where you can reap a good harvest. Take note of the words, die and decay. Yes, whatever seedling you put in the ground, must first die, decay to now have a shoot. It is the natural phenomena of life. Even the good book says, "unless a grain of seed falls to the ground and dies, it shall not bear fruit" - paraphrasing. Again, if you must gain your life, you must first of all lose it. Just as you can’t go to heaven without first dying.

So, your period of waiting is your period of dying and decaying and the beginning of the process of the maturity of the fruits your want to reap in your business, idea or venture. Be patience and in due time all things will fall it is place.
