Celebrate the yet to come.

Hi there. 

It's a good day and a good thing to be alive, and that you are alive shows that there are still lots of things to be achieved by you. 

Today, I wish to share with you about an area that we often neglect or pay less attention to and as a result, we have been robbed of its benefits which has led to life of sadness and feelings of dissatisfaction /under achievements. The area I'm referring to is lack of gratitude or appreciation to the Creator for all He's done so far. 

You see dear friend, a life that does not pause to count what has been achieved so far would be a life of misery and pains in the midst of joy and happiness. We are often carried away by the cares for the things we haven't achieved forgetting that we forgot to thank the One who has made us to get to the point we are right now. Like a song writer rightly puts it, we must "count our blessings and name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done" likewise are we to pause to count what we have achieved thus far and it will amaze us the things we have achieved in life. 

It is natural to feel dissatisfied with our achievements in life because of what we have not achieved, but pausing to deliberately ponder/ count what we have achieved so far would amaze us. A person that deliberately pause to count his/ her blessings is a person that will be grateful. 

On the other hand is to appreciate the Creator for the seemingly difficult situations we might be going through at the moment. I am not ignorant of the feelings that come with going through such experience to be candid, because I have gone through some myself.

Permit me to pause here and let you into one of the negative experience I had. Some years ago, I was working in an organization. There was this weekend they gave me some large amount of money for safe keeping till the following week to be used for something very important. Unfortunately that same weekend, I was robbed of that money. I was arrested and detained for some days, after investigations that proved my innocence I was released. Some days after my release, a meeting was held in the office about the matter and a resolution was passed and it went against me and so I was asked to leave the organization. I was so devastated by the decision plus the trauma I went through by the robbery incident. It seems like my whole world was collapsing right in front of me. Little did I know that the situation was a set up by the Creator for my elevation, because some years after, I was able to start up a company,  further my education and dig up other ideas in me that ordinarily I didn't pay attention to. When I look back at that event, I am always grateful for it. So, dear friend, like me you may be going through some difficult moments right now even worst than mine, just keep hopes alive as it might be a set up for your elevation. As a person who knows that all things will work for their good,  you are to live a life of gratitude and celebration instead of being all moody and grumbling.
Instead of being miserable over what is not working, why not thank Him for what has worked. For being there for you in the midst of that storm, why not thank Him.

Like the gold that passes through the fire for it to be refined,  so are you going through that situation for you to be refined for your elevation and new heights. So be grateful. If you are thankful,  your tank will be full. A person with a limitless mindset is a person that is not bothered by what they are going through, rather they are grateful for what they have.

I dare you today to be celebrate for the yet to come. Thank you.
