BE STILL, BEHOLD.
It is no
more news that people are not experiencing the kind of life they would have
wanted to lead. They carry out some irrational decisions and either regret
their actions or live frustrated. Some people have jumped into the music
industry, some movie, some fashion and many others one industry or the other.
No wonder there is little professionalism in these industries as a lot of
people are just following the band wagons.
A lot of people
have at the back of their minds that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop, but
it is interesting to know that a negative energy input is the devil’s humor.
Now, which is better is the big question? Well, food for thought.
I am not
trying to be religious here but I am would like to chip in one or two scenes
from the bible to better buttress my argument, but before then, let me
introduce this burning thought in my head.
I belong to the school
of thought that disagrees with the idiom – make hay while the sun shines. What
if the sun is too scorching and would probably fry the hay you are trying to
achieve. I also
disagree with- opportunity comes but on once. The reason is that opportunity as
far as I am concerned is always and rushing into a decision would only give you
ample time to make a serious mistake. A lot of people do not think about what
they do anymore and find it difficult to properly analyze and scrutinize things
before they jump in, only for them to jump out filled with regrets, or stay in
frustrated asking themselves; what will people think.
A lot of
people usually consider people’s views about their lives and end up living
other people’s lives. They need to know people’s opinions and would be seemingly
comfortable themselves if other’s were. How funny!
So back to
where I came from- opportunity is always and hay could be made without sun. I
mean all you need is heat and not necessarily sun’s heat.
I can
remember very some times when Jesus always told his disciples” peace be still”
he also on several occasions would tell them that the time is not right yet for
them to perform some certain miracles and that when the time was right, they
would be sent a helper. You see nothing has changed.
So as I conclude,
we don’t have to worry about the right time because we would always have help.
So be still behold, as you carefully carry out operations and thoroughly think
things through before you act. Depart from those that will tell you that you
need to make mistakes and only then can you learn.
I stand corrected, but until then be
still behold.
