I call some people 'profile checkers' but to a large extent, we are all guilty of this at one point or the other. I really love to listen to successful people and what appeals to me most is their struggle because its more real and I can relate most times. Though sometimes some people are professionals at doctoring their story to assume a certain persona.
However when some people hear/see the interesting bit of me, they go... "aint you just lucky"? And to that I say No! There was a price to pay, I paid the price and God showed me mercy. At this point, if there is time, I proceed to tell a major part of the story to help build someone.
I don't believe in luck... I believe in paying the price whilst trusting in God! God surely blesses our hustle. Remember what He is called.... Way maker. Just keep at it and you will surely reap a reward. And when the reward comes, tell your story because it might just be what the next person needs to hear to keep going!
Well said Elly. We often miss the part we need to play to succeed.
ReplyDeleteVery true, that's why I mentioned when people hear the 'interesting bit' of me....But there's always a price to pay!
