Worry A Blessing in Disguise

Worry A Blessing in Disguise
A day after today is the discovery of the value of the minute you live in today. Unfortunately, the minute you live in today is spent on short time pleasure and enjoyment, destroying its value while banking regret and 'I wish I knew' chorus for a day after today.

Many a time, we have focused our lenses on the wrong path believing we are on the right path. The path of "The Moment Matters" has become attractive because often it has no worries, forgetting the beauty in worry lies on its "Wake up call'' pushing us to lay a strong foundation to cushion us for tomorrow.

 A little bit of worry's beauty. Imagine you are working on a one-year contractual job, at this stage, you left with two option, spend like there is no tomorrow in the disguise of living in a moment or better still worry about your one year later bills. For them who live in a moment, the hard knock of life awaits on the twelfth month of their contract when the reality of empty bank accounts from the following month dawns on them.

Them who had worried about life after month 12th will have savings and side hustle to keep them going. Its called "Worry A blessing in Disguise"

Look at the big picture when worry sets in, ask yourself, what can I learn from this experience? How best do I act or what mechanism do I put in place to cushion me from this experience or from what I am about to experience. It's a tough call to make especially when you have an option of letting it go and letting life happen. Ever wondered, what if life happens and it throws you into a deep ditch that will take you forever to come out?

Lots of times, I have allowed myself to worry, lots of those time I have found myself making great sacrifices that have come to bless me and/or cushion me from regrets.

And NO, I am not advocating for you to become a slave to worry, for christ sake you will have become a zombie with no life, always worried, you will kill your self-esteem and who knows sorrow will become your second name.

My goal is to make sure that, each time worry sets in, you don't run into a panic mode, but stand firm, do self-assessment and see how best you can overcome your worries and build a strong foundation of believing and trust on a better day after the worry day.

All said and done. let us all agree that, we shall never let unhealthy influence from our peers throw us into a panic mode. Never again shall you kill yourself with worry because your peer seems to be "Having it all going for them." Instead, turn that worry into an opportunity for a self-assessment, asking yourself

  • Is my life on the right path? Yes,
And, Yes, that's all you need. 

A friend once told me, that in this life, we all have stars that will shine on us, stars of immense blessings (be it an opportunity, be it an acquisition, be it an achievement etc.,) that the stars shine upon us at different intervals, that when they shine, we have two options. Make maximum use of that light or dilly-dally till the light goes off and then you have to go through more pain before the star shines upon you again.

If there stars shine, let them be, stick to your lane and wait for your star to shine, once it does? Just make sure you make maximum use of its light, just make sure you lay a strong foundation for the future.

And always remember, the best revenge against your peers is not a competition but massive success, hit them with success till they respect you, let them see your star shining, let them see the real definition of self-made. 

Remember "A moment of worry, is a moment of self-assessment and crafting a better tomorrow"
