Guess am on my way........

Just when you decide to drop your pen. The door opens and here you are with a bunch of files that needs your approval and all you hear again is that tiny voice that gets you on your feet. "Tony I need you to go through all these files and i need them on my table by tomorrow morning" Looking at your watch it is 5.30pm and your appointment letter says resumption time is 8am while closing time is 5pm. Am sure you know what is going through my mind now (Curses of different degrees for the boss) but you dare not say them out. All you do is smile and say okay.

Above is a typical scenario everyone who has not reached the peak faces in every area of life. Be it Career, Relationships, Marriage, Religion and even during day to day activities. Just when you say that word "Guess am on my way........." Another challenge rises up and then you wonder am i ever going to be free, will i ever have peace of mind, will i ever move to the next level?


The good news is count yourself lucky to be fit and capable of facing challenges. Many are out there just hoping if only i could have a job i would not mind working 24 hours, others are hoping if only i have a relationship i would not mind us disagreeing everyday and some are also saying if only i can be accepted in this society i will not mind ........ and here you are feeling down because you are faced with such challenges.



Challenges don't just come they are the pre destined bridges to link us from our present to our future (Good or Bad). The way we handle such challenges determine if the future turns good or goes bad. When faced with one ask yourself this question " Do i want to tred on this bridge gently so as to get to the other side safe and happy or do i want to jump on this bridge and not make it to the other side safe all because i lack patience? Such questions help us make better decisions though not always because sometimes we don't even have the opportunity to think of those questions before acting but a constant thought of such questions prepares us for such times. A good example is Tony, the way he decides to handle the challenge in front of him determines what tomorrow holds for him if he will still be in employment with a clean shit of no queries or  probably even lose his job or face disciplinary actions cause at that point he has little or no time to think of the questions.

Here we are today in the same situation thinking am at a cross road which way should i go. What i will say to you is go the direction that will not be free of challenges because every challenge makes you stronger and prepares you for the next level of progress.
