RISE UP! BE WHO YOU ARE...

In today’s world where every day you meet people who make you feel less appreciated be yourself
In today's world where you are compared with everyone and you wonder if you really count, refuse to be silenced by the crowd, Be who you are.

The year  is winding down  and  some of us  are staring at our goals in the face and wondering  if it was worth the try: listen folks, the world is full of people who are either ex failures, new failures or on going failures.  never be cowed into believing your shortcomings are your destination. The bible reminds us that the righteous falls seven times but he doesn't stop there he rises seven times its not in the fall its in the rise.

should  you belong to the school of thought that believe  you are less than you are, I think it’s unfair to the God who created earth with just his words, and you in his own image. Its no news life is unfair and we all go through some seasons we logically sometimes can’t understand. But guess what? everyone you meet is going through something. “The rich” wish they had back their freedom and time for God, the poor wish they would have the taste of the rich. The average wish they could just be better than they are, the young wish their mind-blowing dreams would come true at the snap of their fingers. But  we all know the story, things don’t happen as fast as we wish or plan but should we be cowed by these, No!

Why were we born, what’s our role as humans and most especially what’s the best return on investment we can make on our lives? I believe when we were all born God had a believe in us. He counted on us to  provide solutions and as young people  the best way we can have a productive life is by spending our  God given gift effectively and not wait for perfection. Should  he call for our report sheet we could have content before him 

Are you a perfectionist, wait for  this insight. The two Amazing phone company making waves today are Samsung and the Apple I-phones. When Samsung  or Apple  ushers  a new phone into the market the world praises her craft and in weeks people began to  find faults in those amazing  gadgets; but guess what, Samsung or Apple doesn't  stop there;A new version of the phone is produced and you and i  still go crazy about them and  still buy new ones forgetting  the new ones were as a result of the mistakes of the  former.
what do we do when we are criticized or meet people who are different from us, we shrink or condemn ourselves  rather than stepping up our game.

So this is my short letter to you friend be fair to your fault, weakness and keep stepping up your game and stop taking the craps people tell you about  who they think you are. Create new versions of your skills build on your past   and be   who you are. If God were to audit the gifts he has given you how much return on  investment would you have made in your life from the day you discovered these gift? As for me, if at the end of this chat  you step up your game, I would have added value to Gods investment . So you go do the same. God bless you. Thank you for taking out time to read. I feel humbled to be a part of your time.


Namaste.
