Sometimes what we have is not what makes people to be around you. Some come into your life for various purposes which can be for good or for bad. Life is not a bed of roses, everyday is not Christmas too , things come and things go. Imagine you having all the money, houses, cars, you can travel round the world,you can have all you desires, all the babes both ugly and beautiful, everyone is your best friends, you guys party, all the riches are in your hands but all of a sudden, all you have are all gone. The money and the rest of it all has disappeared. It could be bad business, 419, bank problem or something just happened. Then you are alone. All the babes and friends, even the family you thought you could run to for help, they begin to avoid you. All you possessed was what made you their friend not you in person.
Don’t get me wrong ooooo, you can have friends but you have to know the friends you have. What if you don’t have at all, will you still have friends, everything is not gold. You go and beg them for money and they disappoint you. They avoid you all the time, they insult you, down grade you all because you don’t have money again. Even your spouse can leave you too. None of the people you knew then, is willing to help you again, if possible maybe at the end, it could be one person who you looked down on that will end up helping you. This is when you learn about how people are. No more friendship again, what if you are dead, all your riches falls into the wrong hands and is being wasted. Some people don’t have anything at all but they are happy, they even have friends who cares about them so much. What if, you don’t have, should people condemn you and throw you out as a poor guy? No one knows what tomorrow will be like, things can change within a second. Don’t look down on anyone because of what they look like at the moment.
What if there is nothing to show off after years of going to school, doing NYSC, will you kill yourself, no you won’t. Instead you look forward to a brighter future. You keep your hopes high, let it not fail you. Nobody knows you today but you can be known tomorrow round the world. What if you don’t have a car now, will you not go out, will not go to work, or are you thinking of what your mates will say, don’t even think of it, keep on going, if you like trek, use cab or bus, tomorrow’s going to be better. You are called by family members to contribute money for something and you cannot contribute, is not your fault. You are trying. Some people can’t marry today because no money for the kind of wedding you want to have, what if it is so, will you not marry or you want to remain single forever… think again and do the wise thing. Time wait for no man, it is ticking so fast that you are growing older. You should not put pressure on yourself because of how the world sees things. You should be you. All those people doing follow follow, one day it will back fire and you will stand alone. If you enter big trouble now, they will leave you, you won’t see any of them again. The people that will stay with you, no matter how things are for you will stay. Let the bad ones go, you have begged them but they threw you away, let them go. Why work up yourself up for who, them…… they don’t care about you one bit. Move on, move on, you will not remain like this forever. You are going to prove to them that you can still make it, you can go higher than their imagination. Leave them alone, they are not your God.
Now, what if you finally make it, all of a sudden, you get back all you have lost, the money comes back to you in hundred folds, new cars, houses, more and more blessings come back. The people that looked down on you decide to be your friend again, what will you do, They come back now that things are rosy, blossom, it’s time to enjoy again, you will be over wise. Just smile and thank God. Your hardships can’t last forever as far as you know what to do to come out from it.
Love everyone equally. This life is unpredictable. You can’t forseen tomorrow, you cannot tell how it will be. Don’t look down on anyone. Be careful who you draw close to yourself. Above all, put God first. Things can’t go wrong if you have God on your side. What if, what if there is nothing truly, life must go on. Thank you.
