Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to the overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. – Proverbs 3:9-10
Attaining The Unattained (3)
Attaining The Unattained
Fourth, where are you going to.
The majority do not know where they are going to. To understand how you got here, one needs to know where they are coming from. Your original identity shapes the path to your present and then the future. Where a person is going to has a lot to do with our goals and aspirations. There are individuals in communities who are destined to be in a particular location because that is where their linage occupied. They know where they are going to!
The fifth point is to know that there are giants in the land!
There are challenges along the way. Know that this life is full of challenges you need to manoeuvre. This is the point you find out how to get to the destination. How do you get through the cross roads with lots of signs? You know where you are going to. Have you anticipated the challenges you might face?
Sixth is to recognise challenges.
When you recognise there is a challenge (the giants), you are able to mange the situation better. When you meet the anticipated challenge, your creativity set in to mitigate it. You do not think how to deal with the challenge. Many get stuck here because we meet these challenges by error, or what I mean to say is, by chance and we have no set up plan to manage the situation.
Knowing how to uphold your self is the seventh.
One of the ways to deal with challenges is to know to conduct yourself in the public place. If you do not have value for yourself, you will misbehave in the crowd. Many of us talk carelessly, in view to show our personality. Respect, many forget, comes to those who earn it. People want to reverence you because of your quality. Not the size of your mouth. We end up divulging personal secrets in public. Please speak and inform in a need to know basis. Always ask, does this person need to know this now? How a person conducts themselves in public matters.
