THE PROCESS

 


Dear Young People, Life is a Process


I apologize for the silence these few weeks, I had to set some things to enable us to have a smooth sail here.


The word process is a word young people don't want to hear. Succinctly, most young people don't even want to get acquainted with it.


Young people are often in a hurry, always pressing and pushing to get what they want at the time they want, not minding the cost or who gets hurt. This year alone I have talked to countless young people who are growing impatient with life and how things are turning out for them. At the bottom of it, all I see is they are finding ways to bypass the process of life. 


A pastor shared an analogy that somehow relates to this, it may be a bit sarcastic but it carries a deep undertone. He said at this age, we eat agric chicken that is six weeks old, whereas we cannot even try eating a local chicken of eight weeks. He added that we are so addicted to agriculturally improved products to the point that we are having an agricultural mindset towards life. The message was the fact that we are always in a rush to get things done. To fit into your much-desired dream, you have to be made for it.



Young people who left a mark in the sand of time in the past were men and women who grew and evolved through the process. They understood that they had to be made, chiseled, and carved out for what awaited them in the future. Ours will not be any different.


In the coming series, we will see what the process entails, why we need to go through the process, the components the process comes with, and the dangers of boycotting the process.


Dear Young People, the process is for your good, if you are not made, you can never become. Stay through and remain true.

FIRST THING FIRST

  Our Default Setting  So I have a friend who has this significant order he looks up to a lot. He has made it in life as an international professor based in the United State and has all the right connections (if you get what I mean). My friend had this deeply ingrained mindset back then in school that once he is done with undergraduate studies, getting employed will not be an issue for him. Five years down the line, he is still pulling and pushing through life to make both ends meet. What happened to the hope he had of being helped by his significant order? Quashed. I know you can relate to this story, you might have heard similar experiences with people you look up to fail you, disappoint you, and let you down. Nigerians believe that the easiest way to get disappointed and useless in life is to look up to your uncle. (How true is this? you judge for yourself). Such is life as we see it. At the end of the day, your help and lifting may or may not come through such people that ...

DON'T JUST LOSE IT

So I failed to send out the publicity for what I am to write on and share with you yesterday; partly because I have been dragging with my health lately and the fact that writer's block came visiting. Just like trust, consistency is one thing that once established, you don't just lose it. Building consistency is like earning trust, it takes time but can or may be lost in a blink of an eye. So I thought about this yesterday, knowing that someone out there may be waiting on me to send something out today, and here I am, about to make the waiting go down the drain. Well, I had to write something. In life, we exert our efforts, direct our attention and channel our determination to achieve or get some things through persistence, only to let them slip past our fingers because we lack the keeping power of consistency. What I mean is, persistence gets it, consistency keeps it; so by all means, in your persistence, be consistent.  In describing what consistency is not, Hundred Life Desig...

The 4 Heartbeats of COMMITMENT

  In my last piece, I established that commitment is the spine upon which every worthy achievement in life stems. It counts the cost and pays the proportionate price. Commitment singles you out of the crowd. Don't travel this life without adding tones of commitment to your backpack. I also added that where you are and who you are right now is not in any way unrelated to the number of commitments you have made in the past. To drive the nail further down into the coffin, I will share four major variables that serve as the heartbeats of commitment. Through them, commitment comes alive, and with them, we see, touch, and feel the reality of commitment. Commitment is Sacrificial  If you are committed to someone or something, the first proof is that you sacrifice or give your all for it. Here, you bet your life, stake it out and lay it down on the line. The pages of history are scattered with men and women who were committed to worthy causes and people they loved and valued; the proo...
