Life without an incident.
A few days ago, I wondered why things aren't going as planned for the new year. I didn't bother making a new year resolution but I had lots of things that must be achieved every week regarding my life and business.
The past week wasn't my favorite because I had lots of bills to pay and I hate it, paying bills is not one of my favorite things to do but it is inevitable. People who pay multiple rents in January will understand what I mean. That's not an issue because I am used to doing that and I don't understand why I still feel down during this period, it is fun seeing your portfolio grow every day and it becomes a problem when responsibilities start eyeing it.
While strolling through some videos online, I came across a teaching that says "Life is nothing without an incident". It was a long video and I couldn't watch it all but I enjoyed the few minutes I saw in the video.
What is life without incidents?
Life is about good and bad, every human must have encountered the tough moment before reaching a comfortable zone in life. These incidents are inevitable during the journey of life and we must always come out of it stronger because it won't be the last and doesn't get easier.
The bigger you aim for great things, the more the incident you are likely to experience in life. Everyone has a story to tell if we all start pouring out our minds about the things we have been through in life but looking at where you are today would tell you how well you have stood through the incidents that came your way in life. I remembered reading an article about @Fexonice1 on how he went through lots of troubles to see him get educated after losing his parents, the incident never broke him but instead made him stronger.
The purpose of these incidents isn't to break you even though it looks like that's why you are experiencing it, it was there to make you stronger for the rest of the journey in life. If he had allowed it to break him, we might not know him today but those incident he went through made him who he is today.
I have seen people regret taking steps to expand their wealth because it failed, would you have expected it to just give you the results you wanted. I basically believe that Life was designed that way, it is impossible not to encounter incidents in life whether you choose to grow, remain stagnant, or even reduce to a lower level in life.
Every incident you go through today prepares you for whatever is coming next, it wouldn't be nice if life skips this incident and it brings a tough one when you haven't even conquered any before. Imagine yourself playing a game for the first time and you are given level 16 out of 25 levels in the game, your chances of winning are slim but it would have been easier if you started from level one to 16 and more.
Every wealthy and famous people we admire today must have been through one problem or the other in life, the challenges they go through don't end when they are struggling. Almost all of them still face troubles even after they are living comfortably, incidents never stop happening as long as they are still striving to get better in life.
Let's take Marc De Mesel for instance, did you remember the challenges he faced recently with the Kenyan government? He was wrongly accused but the truth will always prevail as long as you are doing what's right.
The bigger you get, the bigger the incident you might likely encounter because your worth would reflect in whatever has to do with you whether good or bad.
So when life brings those incidents your way don't think life is cruel because it has always been like that before now and it will continue to be like that after, prepare to walk through the incident alive.
One thing you mustn't stop doing when doing everything in your power to survive every incident is committing your journey into the hands of God because there are people stronger than you who didn't make it through their incident as small as it was, understand that grace plays a role as well.
Well said!! successful people today have struggled alot in the past to get to where they are,they didn't just wake up and meet themselves in wealth,they took a step further to get there,we should expect trials along our journey but there's always a successful story at the end.
