Never forget what you’re made of

By: Nmerichukwu Igweamaka

Life is not a bed of roses, they say but still, life is actually not a bed of roses.

In life we are bound to have happiness, joy, fulfilment, satisfaction but all these things come with a price-Struggle

Very few people are born with a silver spoon or gold spoon or a diamond spoon or spoons embedded with pearls and costly stones. While the other population of the world, must struggle to get a glimpse of a gold plated spoon at least.

Dear reader, it doesn’t mater which of these category you belong to, the truth is, no one can live on this earth without struggling.

Most times when meteors of challenges hits hard, they tend to break you, shake you and make you lose your shell.

You might wonder, my shell? Your will power, that hunger to be fulfilled, your courage, the steam that drives you forward, the engine that makes you tick is your shell. Its the exoskeleton that protects you against that undercurrent of self-doubt and vulnerability.  We all deal with vulnerability, uncertainty, and failure. You should trust that if you move forward anyway, then you will figure it out.

We believe that it is possible for human beings to improve. We believe that it is possible to raise the bar in your own life even if the world around you accepts average. We believe in ourselves and in each other. We believe that if you want better health or more happiness or a more meaningful job that you can make those things happen.

It all rests on the speed and manner at which you choose to rise. Let the reason why you are doing what you are doing be the anchor on which you sustain your self against the storms of life.

You’ve been designed to thrive, don’t let uncertainty make you forget who you really are.
