Don't waste your pains.

We all go through difficult times. We all pass through some unpleasant conditions. We have passed through some difficulties, but we weren't destroyed. Even though we were pressed, we weren't crushed. Life is not always a bed of roses. It is not always a red rose peeping through amidst white flowers. Your pain is your gain if you know how to harmonize it. There is no such thing that everything will be beautiful every time. Anyone who tries to tell you this, speaks the greatest lie.  Even the grasses on the field have their own season they become dry. And if they blossom again, you can imagine the beauty. Telling you  there is time for everything. If you are passing through some killing challenges today, you are not going to get broken down but rather  stronger and refreshed.

Don't waste your pains. God is preparing you for the task ahead. He wants you to know the pains that others will be facing when you graduate from your own wilderness.  You will be able to understand their pains, challenges, problems and sufferings. With your wilderness experiences, you will be able to help others in need. Get their hopes up. Give them the motivation they deserve and teach them how to overcome any challenge.  Go to God with your challenges. Remember him of his promises. Let your testimony be against all odds, I made it. If you are going to achieve anything great, if you are going to achieve anything substantial, if you are going to get to the peak of your career, you have to utilize the benefits of your pains and struggles. Don't allow what you are passing through overwhelm your dreams. Wole Soyinka observed " Nobody is rich enough to buy yesterday; but if you hustle hard, tomorrow could be yours".

The pains of today are not meant to overcome you. They serve as stepping stones to success. Be hopeful. Be positive. Everything is working out. Whatever you want in life is possible for you to achieve if you don't serve as an impediment to its actualization. Your dreams could appear impossible, but because it is impossible makes it possible. It could be impossible, but know that  it is achievable. Holding on to the benefits in the pains you are experiencing can produce the next miracle of your life. No pain, no gain. Tomorrow is certain and the joy of tomorrow lies in the strength of today's pains. John Mason rightly put it " You could be the light of the world but no one will notice it if the switch is not turned on". When you pass through some challenges, you are seriously taking the required steps towards turning the switch on.
It is well with you. You are coming to the top. You are the the next person to be celebrated. Get it right. Be yourself. The world is working for your sake. I am already celebrating you. Take care and look forward.
