Let
me start this by asking a practical question: what's the probability of an
uncontrolled ship sailing off the shore of your country? Will it get to its intended destination without
any form of control? If your answer is "miraculously" then yes; It will only take a miracle for such to happen. However, the
probability of the ship arriving at an undesired destination is very high.
If
the ship must sail to its desired destination, it will need the expertise of an
experienced sailor working with other crew members.
No
matter how good the sailor is, he needs to communicate with people on both
sides of the journey (starting and finishing point), he needs to be skillful at
reading and interpreting the road map (navigator) and this skill comes from training
and consistent practice.
He
also needs to be willing to work night and day (hard work) in other to steer
the ship and must have the patience to wait until he finally gets to his
desired destination.
If
we remove any of the listed virtues: knowledge, communication, hard work,
persistence and patience; he may not get to his DD but will end up wherever the waves of
the sea take him.
These
same virtues are needed for us to achieved our desired end in life.
I
have heard parents say things like: my children will read the rest, It's too
late for me now (even though they are just 37, 38, 39 or 43.... Seriously!??!). In this case, persistence, patience and a burning desire are the missing virtues.
I
have also seen lone rangers, who believe they have all the knowledge required to succeed in life via imagination; you
may be smart, but I counsel you to learn to communicate with others either via
reading, watching or listening.
Above
all, you need to communicate with
your spirit man; The Spirit of God in you via deliberate mediation.
You
have to be deliberate in your practice to achieve the success you so strongly desire.
You
need to be persistent like the woman
who persisted with the ungodly judge (Luke 18:1-8) and you need to be patient. Don't give up. Remove every unnecessary back up plans that make you slack. Tell yourself "if I have to fall, I won't fall backward to
anything but fall forward towards my desire"
If
left uncontrolled, life will steer you to an undesired end via hypnotic rhythm. Remember, fire is
good, but if uncontrolled, it will burn your food, leave you hungry and if
care is not taken; destroy the building.
You
need to put discipline in place in
your journey of life; focus on
your desired destination and communicate with others (reading,
listening, watching and practicing what you've learnt)
Be persistent.
Don't
give up, rather, give it all it takes.
What
you want is possible; your desired destination is "arrivABLE"
PUSH
ON
DON'T
QUIT
GET
THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE
GIVE
THE JOURNEY THE NEEDED TIME
HAVE
THE RIGHT ASSOCIATION
WATCH
& PRAY & WATCH & PRAY....
God bless you.
