I have been scared to death, I have been in debt and wished the ground would swallow me; I have failed many times but am still standing. Suffice to say I do not have any more challenge or issue again in my life would be a lie but I am not letting them get to me.
So who says your ride to greatness will be easy and smooth? If it is easy you wouldn’t appreciate it.
Has your problem ever gotten you to the point of contemplating suicide? If you commit suicide you have died a cheaply. The pressure that comes with being a president, the world’s richest man, the governor, and even the head of a family is the type that should naturally make a person commit suicide but why have they not? That is because they all know that suicide is the way of cowards.
Now, don’t get me wrong! Do not think I do not understand your plight or that I have just chosen to sensationalize what you are going through all in a bid to write a ‘sweet’ article. That is not the case! I know that life can serve us with some horrific situations and experiences that can make the knee of even the strongest shake. These experiences and situations are only temporary; if you choose to end your life now as a result, you would have given up on the opportunity to share a testimony tomorrow.
You can be great tomorrow, you can be very successful, you can become a worthy role model but if you end your life today you would have missed out on tomorrow’s greatness. Whenever that urge comes look at yourself in the mirror and say, “this too shall pass”
Life can be hard but when success finally beckons you will never remember the ‘hardness’ of life.
