MAKE A NAME OUT OF THE SHAME

       In the production industry, the raw material does not look as beautiful and valuable as the finished product. There are times the raw materials may not even make sense seeing them at the beginning until they have passed through the production process to form the desired product. 
At times, the final product which comes out of the production room as a whole entity was once in scattered pieces until they were assembled and logically organized in a form that is later regarded and valued as a product worth paying for.

In life, the road that leads to your final destination does not look like your destination. Where you are now may not look like where you are going yet, you have to keep pressing until you get there. There are times we go through lonely roads where all we see on the way are just trees and bushes, yet we have a destination ahead whose streets are made of gold, with so much beauty and treasures.

Anybody that tells you the path to greatness is an easy one must be a liar because it is not. It is full of 'ups' and 'downs'. It is full of potholes which can either slow you down or break you down and have your journey truncated. The journey is full of shame and ridicule. There are times situations could make you look stupid before people who you tell you to carry greatness within you and all around you is mediocrity. It can be very funny at times that in spite of the giant that lies in you, you still dwell in very weak circumstances - you are still gasping for breath and struggling to find your feet.

Imagine the deliverer in greater chains than those he is destined to deliver. Think of the one destined to help the people in greater need of help himself. Is it not embarrassing knowing fully well that lies within you is what it takes to feed many nations and here you are struggling to even afford a lean meal for yourself not to talk of others? There is times people rate you with so many expectations and when demands are placed on you, your pocket is empty, you can't respond. It's embarrassing....yeah!

At times, you may lend your voice to the people in advocacy for a better life and your voice cannot travel farther than where you are standing and you are wondering why? But do you know what, such is life?

Never mind when your experiences conflict with your instincts. Never mind when those who are not ordinarily your match start making ridicule of you because of prevailing circumstances; those who you are fighting to save turn back and begin to tell you "saviour, save yourself and save us". Just never mind. Don't even bother to fight back. You don't need to retaliate, not at all. All you need do is, take it as a challenge and make a name out of the shame.

When people play games with you, make a name out of it.

When people see you as too weak a force to be reckoned with, don't just mind. Just pinch yourself, wake up to the occasion and rise up to become a pillar that many nations will lean on. When you get stranded on the way, still take the pain and continue the journey to your final destination even when people have concluded you can't get there anymore because you ran out of fuel.

 Respond to hurting situations instead of reacting to them. Argue with results and not words. Become who they never thought you could become and they will change their perception of you. Have enough evidence to prove that you are too loaded to fail and you will be vindicated. When circumstances put you to shame, don't let the shame remain with you, make a name out of it. When people name you after your predicaments, don't accept to bear the name, change it. When they put you down, pick yourself up. When they sell you off, buy yourself back. No matter what it is, make a name out of it. Be fulfilled!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
