THE BITTER TRUTH

Amidst everything in life, one of the very intrinsic things that man would never want to hear not even talking of accommodating, is the “truth that is bitter”. Yes, it’s.

A bitter truth most times don’t come in a fascinating way, it rather comes in an uncomely manner but, if accepted and strictly followed, it can forever change your life to the best and for the rest of your life. Truth is within ourselves and it takes no rise from outward things, whatever you may believe…

William James of Harvard once said that “The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that people by changing their inner attitudes of mind, can also change the outer aspects of their lives”. If you have the ability to change your thoughts, then you should have power to execute them too. Yes!, it’s very true, or should I shock you that you and your inner mind are extraordinary?, Yes, you are. You know why?, It’s because according to research, God created man with 100 billion brain cells, each connected by ganglia and neurons to as many as twenty thousand other cells. So, the total number of thoughts you can think as a normal man is therefore equal to one hundred billion to the twenty thousandth power created and deposited in you. .. All what you need to be what you want in life is with you, and until you discover and exploit it, you might end up being what you’ve planned not to be in this one life. Hmmm…

Note that, one of the things that can easily demolish man in life is to have the truth to himself alone, without having a modest knowledge and understanding about the usefulness of that truth. It can be very noxious to the present and the future of that life because, keeping the truth for yonks without any sagacious utilization cannot, but make it useless sooner or later. Don’t ever sleep on the truth that you know because, there lies your key to a supernatural breakthrough in life. That truth (ideas, vision, plans) is for a particular season, make it useful in that same season.

Honestly, the nature of life makes life more interesting, and you know why?.. it’s because, what makes a man can at the same time bring him down, depending on his approach towards that thing at a particular time. Hm..Sometimes, the truth you think you know about a thing can also demote you in that path of success, if negligent in handling and utilizing that truth. Life is a race, and Giants are out there to compete and take away that truth from you, because everyone wants to make it to the state of success and therefore, if you really mean business in life, then you must be very sensitive and vigilant. Remember this bitter truth, though a man is free to choose, but not free from the consequences of his choice. You reap what you sow, buh sow well to reap well- The truth.

One of the greatest philosophers, Earl Nightingale, once said that “ whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition, and emotions will one day become a reality”. That’s true. Please, understand that you are not the product of the truth you only know, but how meticulously you can utilize that truth. Knowing the way is not the problem, but how can you make the way?; Knowing the plan is never a concern, but do you know how to execute the plan?; Yes, you are so efficacious, but what have you done with that ability that you have?; I know you to be a dreamer, infact you dreams than Joseph, but did you study how Joseph made it to the prime minister?, Common, wise up!. You need to make the intangible tangible!. You need to bring what you know to reality!!.

See, if your worry is about people castigating you while doing the right thing, then you need to upgrade your thinking, because you need to understand that when your life begins to bring forth green leaves from a diseased and contaminated land, then everything will look strange to others in the same habitat. There is only one way to avoid criticism in life, and that is “to do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing”. So, if you really wanna remain in that lowly position forever, then keep mute. But, to succeed, you must be active. Don’t only live, exist too!!.

You know what?, The day you stop worrying will be the very first day of your new life, and you can only achieve this by taking off anxiety from your heart, learn to trust in yourself, and become free. See, when life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate, and when life is bitter too just say thank you and grow. Challenges are meant to grow man stronger, and not to mar man. Oh, you think you are the only one facing that problem right?, then go out there where you’ll see men starving of food, people crying to at least be free from captivity, men praying for sound health, and by then I’m sure you will come back and give thanks about your own. Believe or leave it, everything happens to everyone in life, if only time permits. See, “What you are going through is to refine you, and not to define you”. You just need to upgrade on your thinking, and for your thinking to bring you forth good fruits.

Hmmm... When the bitter truth is been said, many neglect it. Man is only after what is sweet even though it’s detrimental to him, and will never take up the bitter leaf, then ruminate over it for a latter sweetness. How ignominious, this can be!. With my little stay on earth, I’ve seen few things too, yes I’ve. Man falling and failing because all his trust is on man, and not on God of all possibilities. It really pains me seeing people entrusting their valuable lives with fiends, and not even friends. People that will never find solutions to your problem, but can only find problems to all your solutions in life. You need to be far from them, they can destroy your destiny. You need to understand that some battles have to be fought alone, and some paths have to be crossed alone. So never be too emotionally attached with anyone because you never can tell when you have to walk all alone.- Bitter truth.

So, entrust everything with God, the supreme Father of all fathers. Walk the path to success with Him, and you are already a success, because with Him, no failure!.

God is real, and faithful, so be real and faithful to Him too!.

  • Be ready to inhibit the truth in your heart, in order to exhibit success in all endeavors in life.
  • The bitter truth is always bitter to hear, and even to act, but trust me, the result brings sweetness.
  • Don’t only have the truth, but also know the truth and you shall be set free forever!!!

Be sage!
