STRETCHED BEYOND LIMITS?

It's possible you have often heard that " a rubber band comes into its full potential when stretched" that's been my story in the last 40 days, it was so bad that I couldnt even post an article on my blog since then.
During this period, the thoughts of quitting had flashed through my mind a million times and more, I had sincerely felt like leaving the uncertain for the certain, even though I know that the future lies in the "uncertain"; I had been stretched beyond limits.
Even though it looked like the world would come to an abrupt end , but, I found solace. I took solace in the word of God, and in the word of wise men, one of such men is Obafemi Awolowo.
He said " blessed be sorrows, blessed be hardships and trials, for all these make a man" I have found this to be true in many respect, because every title must be defended and woe to you if you are not strong enough on the day of the battle (sounds strange?).
Thank God, am back blogging, hope to give you some gists and encouragement about my experiences in due time. On a lighter note I saw the blog of Donald Duke, Governor of Cross River state and was very impressed, it shows that blogging is fast becoming accepted in Nigeria, your Excellency Sir, keep Blogging!

THAT INNER DRIVE

Today happens to be one of those days when motivation is on the low side, nothing on the external seem to motivate and life looks like an awful song. But long ago, I have made adequate preparations for days like today, I have come to know over time and through experience that a man's life does not consist of the things he posseses externally.
I know without doubt that "what lies behind us and before us are tiny matters compared with what lies inside of us" So, anytime am confronted with such feelings as I feel today, I just remind myself of the person that I am. It's not about a very fat bank account, it's not about anything on the external; without doubt I know that I am more than it appears presently. I might just be getting by now, but, in the real sense of it greatness shall soon pay me obeisance.
That belief that keeps me going in moments like this is what I have called that inner drive, it's the 6th sense that makes me see the invisible and feel the intangible, it gives life to my belief and increases the life span of my patience, while I hope for the fulfilment of my loftiest dream.
