Perseverance

-

 Some weeks ago, I was given an official assignment. I was asked to make some research on some things for a client. It was quite easy- or so I thought. My boss directed me on some things to do that would make my work easier and I really thought I could conduct the research in little time. 

Surprisingly, two days passed and I had not gotten anything yet. I was so disappointed in myself and I had to reach out to my elder sister (that girl is a darling) on the failed research process and she encouraged me and gave me word of advice. That really struck me. I was so glad to find out that someone believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Of course, that faith she had in me made me yield to the advice and made me strive till I got the intended outcome. 

Sometimes in life, we may not get the expected outcome we need when we need it. That should not stop us from trying or making further attempts. It could really hurt and disappoint that we don’t have what we need yet. But why quit rather than persevere? You have to go the extra mile to yield results because merely folding your arms or crying over spilt milk won’t help. So here’s a charge to everyone out there who is on the brink of disaster: give it another shot and you’d be surprised at the outcome you get. Never quit, keep on persevering!

    What a great piece! People need to understand that it's normal to fail... Doesn't make them a failure but gives them the opportunity to do better by not quitting. Great job Dumz, you're doing well ��. I owe you 1caprisunne

Youthful Lust

-

 The phrase “Youthful Lusts” means different things to different people and it encompasses different areas. A simple definition of the term is an unusually intense, unbridled desire or craving for something which often occurs among people who are young and not yet mature. Youthful lusts do not only border on sexual desires or impure thoughts or ideas but also in the lust for money and the intense desire for power,fame and recognition.    Sexual desires are common among youths of today because we cannot help being attracted to someone but when we begin to fill our hearts with immoral thoughts about the person (most often one of the opposite sex) we are attracted to, allowing these lustful thoughts and ideas to take up space in our hearts, it is sin. It is also a known fact that most times, the spirit is willing to ignore these lusts but the flesh is often weak. Win the battle of sex and you win the battle of life.  Like the common eye defect, myopia, most ...

Garment of praise for heaviness

Something happened some days back - the results of an exam I wrote several months ago came out and I was short of words. My emotions were mixed -not happy, not sad, but something in between. What I got was totally different from what I expected - I expected grades extremely higher, but what I saw was ‘low’ in my eyes. Not necessarily low, but I wasn’t content with what I saw. When I did a rundown of all the grades, I had nothing to say than ‘thank you Jesus’. Some things that would have drastically tarnished my career  lifted me up. I saw ‘A’ in those courses. My joy knew no bounds because I remembered the battle I had with God to give me an ‘A’ or nothing else. I prayed earnestly especially for those courses and I had a pleasant and delightful surprise. My mood changed again. I mean, the devil was in action. He took my mind straight to the course I wasn’t happy with and all I could feel for approximately the next 30 minutes was sorrow. I lamented severely, spoke to my parents and ...

Tit for tat?

  Have you ever been in a situation where someone treats you like trash? I don’t mean a one time thing. I’m talking about a constant habit. This person has no regard for you, your emotions, your well-being and everything that has to do with you. To the person, it’s like you’re a nobody and your viewpoints have no worth. To be honest, it’s not surprising and it necessarily isn’t your fault that the person behaves the way he/she does. You try as much as possible to be a good person that you are, only to be treated like crap. You wonder why the person can’t reciprocate the kindness you show but your thoughts do not count because they can’t influence the person’s nature. Neglected and hurt, you wonder what can be done to change the way things are. Sometimes, you may even contemplate on dancing to the tunes of the person in question, but to be honest, that is not the best way to resolve things. What then do you do when you’re in this situation? Do you keep on being nice? Do you give up ...
