Put your heart and mind and soul into what you are doing. Concentrate on what you think is best for you to succeed. If you are doing what you really like to do, no matter what criticisms are thrown at you, your detractors will never be half as good as you are.
If you don’t like what you are doing, reflect. Think hard and ask for divine guidance. I assure you, a message will come from the heavens and will instruct you to both proceed and endure and be patient or get out and seek better opportunities and environment. We are where we are right now because God has a great plan. Most of it is not known to men or will ever be understood by men, by us but what He has, believe in the greatest faith you could gather – even if it only measures the size of a mustard – is the best we all ever need. Some times they are not exactly how we like our gifts to be, they are raw, basic things that still needs to be put together with some other raw materials. They need to be harnessed, wisely utilized and shared with others. You see, God allows us to learn and what better way to do so than to experience life in its full totality. Living and breathing and screaming and laughing and thinking and crying and dancing and proscratining.
When you haven’t produced much enthusiasm and positive energy for the day, relax and don’t let the change of mood bother you, neither allow it to alter everything that you believe in and hope for. It is but natural for us humans, men and women to feel a bit down and scared of the uncertain future ahead of us. We know, we should be glad that we have those moments to look back to when the time comes and we’re overflowing with positive energy because it makes us appreciate what we have and it helps us to remember how human we are.
Recently, i realized, though i believe that the message is more of a reminder from God, that every thing is a gift. Even my yearning to earn so that I could give to my family is a blessing that He has yet to fully give me. I do am able to share in the minor expenses at home, but being given the responsibility is not something that you ask for, it is given. When God sees that you are capable enough of carrying the responsibility/gift of sharing, He will gladly provide you the means to do so. I thought that it was noble of me to carry the burden on my shoulders of thinking how to make ends meet. But God in His greatness answered me and calmed my fears. Only when He sees that we could do it will He give it to us. And in His goodness, we still are not left on our own to be who God wants us to be. He still provides us with the means so that we can become that person that He wants us to be.
There is so much to be thankful for, I realized. Every waking and breathing and living moment in our lives, there is something great that God has in store for us. When I open my eyes in the morning, I thank God for another day in my life, because I am given the opportunity to correct my mistakes and do better for that day. When I go our store, I marvel at how God had thought of putting things together that made processes such as buying and selling work out. I imagine how great the minds that designed all the beautiful slippers and the-not-so-beautiful-ones and the ingenuity and craftsmanship of shoemakers and slipper-makers.
I delight at the little things that tickle my funny bones, I contemplate on the events, ideas and memories that releases tears from my eyes. I think hard why some things are bound to scratch my ever so sensitive patience and throw me into fits of anger and I thank God for just allowing me to be who I can be.
