Anyone who has ever become anything worth writing home about has had to handle fire and brimstone with naked hands, boldly face all obstacles and adversities with courage and determination to score handful of victories.
The greatest man on earth is the one who is able to conquer himself; To conquer the obstacles, the pain, the hurts, the scars, the shame, the loss, the fear and boldly face the future with zeal, passion, enthusiasm and courage. He goes against all odds to conquer and win. Many times we are our worst enemy. If we could learn to conquer ourselves, then we will have a much easier time overcoming the obstacles that are in front of us. I have in this book shared dozens of adversities that I had to encounter and overcome to enjoy great victory. The tests we face in life’s journey are not to reveal our weaknesses but to help us discover our inner strengths. We can only know how strong we are when we strive and thrive beyond the challenges we face.
Sometimes the injuries and scars that we incur at the training ground become our life if we take them that way. They hinder your progress when you focus on the past, the good old stories of how you became a victim and lost. We do not have to carry the baggage of brokenness to our future. The future is too bright to spoil it with rubbish of our past. You have to learn to wear out the old shell and put up a new covering, a new energy, zeal, attitude, passion and enthusiasm. Let go and let God is the way of life! Everything happens for a reason because God plans your life for you ahead of time. He sees the end from the beginning and lays a plan for your life. Nothing is a surprise to the almighty God. Take it God’s way.
No one on earth even the Grammy award winners live a life without obstacles. Just like a big highway which will have bends, bumps, corners, police check points and stop overs, life presents both smooth and wavy pathways and it is for us to ride on focusing unto our dreams and great destiny. We should not allow bumps to disrupt our journey to our destiny. We need to be focused and overcome all odds that show up along the path. Life is not always easy to live, but the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond comprehension. In the process of living, we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain. This pain, loss, disappointment, disgraces and brokenness gives us the experience and stamina that we need in pursuit of our destiny and living a purposeful life. This means we have to overcome them against all odds. We have to become by riding on the waves and storms that life directs to us. We will gain much wisdom and knowledge as we endure through and the experience will not only be beneficial to us but to many around us.
Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in horrible bills.
The best thing is that our good God does not waste an experience. He allow us to go through some challenges to learn, acquire some stamina, glorify Him in the victory, shape and equip us with crucial lessons that we’ll need later in the pursuit of our destiny. You have to overcome all odds to pursue your great destiny.
The noise of the sea will never disturb the fish from sleeping. Therefore don’t let anything disturb you, stay focused and determined to be on track on whatever you are pursuing in life, turn a deaf ear to every noise that will distract your attention. Overcome all odds. God will change your story if only you are determined and prayerful. I urge you to never start a day with the broken pieces of yesterday unless to join them to make a worthy vessel. Every day is a fresh opportunity to venture a new path and write a story. Each day is a new beginning and every morning we wake up is the first day of our new life and because today will never come again we should give it all our best that when we look back tomorrow we will not regret a thing.
The greater the obstacle, the more the glory in overcoming it.
