The Motive




Why do you think you do what you are doing right now? Who is gaining from your actions? How would you feel if the consequences of your actions were to be announced on national TV or radio? Are you now imagining? If you would storm the TV station and stop the broadcast immediately, then I am telling you in the face that you are currently punishing yourself with the most barbaric form of punishment.
What good can you offer yourself then?
Work hard and be patient, if only you think you are doing the right thing, the right time will come. Not sure what right is? Let’s keep it simple; install a secret CCTV camera at the back of your mind and ensure it is filming all your actions for national television.  All the things you do can then be referred to as good deeds.
 Stop lamenting about how your friends, age mates and classmates have taken the lead in life. It adds nothing. In any case, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to reach there. What matters most is what you do and how you impact when you finally get there.
 Life offers no shortcuts. Don’t wish for one because none is available. Life only gives you opportunities; it is about how you make that little opportunity count.  You may conduct a search for your opportunity but if it is not God’s appointed time, you will roam the whole wide world just to find nothing. Don't run to meet it. Work hard in silence and wait for the perfect opportunity. Saddick Adams once said ‘What life can offer you in 60 seconds can make you forget 60 years of pain and struggle’. Continue doing what you know best in silence without minding how long it takes. What is in store for you might as well surprise you.

Opportunity will not knock once. Don’t kill yourself if you think you just missed one. The ideal one God has reserved for you may as well just be at the corner. The sad news is that you may not be ready to utilize it fully if you fail to start preparing for it from now. Just like a footballer spends all his time training for perfection before his coach will introduce him into the game to make a change, God has an appointed time to introduce you to the World. So you can’t jump onto the pitch if you are not adequately prepared to grab that opportunity. Do you feel the urge to start now? Start by installing your CCTV Camera. Be proud of your mistakes because they are the only proof that you are alive.
