Revel in the chaos of your life.

Whenever you complain, the universe gives you more reasons to complain.

When you are grateful, the universe gives you more reasons to be cheerful.

It is a lot easier to get into bad habits than it is to get into the good ones. It is easier to complain but a lot harder to not complain and be cheerful.

When you make a habit out of complaining, you unconsciously get yourself into a viscous cycle of bad fortunes and complaints, complaints and bad fortunes and wheels keep spinning.

This is so because, when you decide to complain, you are shutting down your problem solving abilities and instead choose to draw pity and sympathy to yourself, and what good does that usually do? None.

As a man, whenever you complain, your balls shrink a bit and you become less of yourself. What would life be without challenges, without obstacles to conquer?

That would be a bland tasteless life. A life without content, a life that wouldn't be worth remembering and talked about.

Life challenges are like salt. Take a pinch into your mouth and it stings and burns, but put a spoonful into your food and it comes alive tastefully.

Your life challenges enrich you with wisdom, they give you the fortitude and experience to go into much tougher battleground.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

You say a silent prayer everyday, you pray for success and good fortune, you pray for good health, long life, peace and prosperity.

Sustainable success doesn't come without the pain of dedication and discipline.

Good health doesn't come without the pain of good diet and exercise.

There can't be peace, if there wasn't originally war, and peace cannot be maintained if the scars of war aren't kept fresh to remind of the importance of peace.

-------------------------------

You often pray for success and get frustrated that it isn't forthcoming.

What if the current chaos in your life is the route designed for your success?

Why are you frustrated, instead of embracing it?

OBSTACLE IS THE WAY.

Sometimes you think about your life and you are certain that the universe hates you, because why always you?

But, is your situation worse than that of Job in the bible?

Is it worse than that of Nelson Mandela, who spent 23 years of his life behind bars because he was fighting for his people of South Africa?

Is it worse than that of Viktor Frankl?

Viktor Frankl is a psychiatrist that survived the Holocaust that claimed the lives of 6 Million German Jews.

He witnessed the lowest of the lows, the base animal instinct level of the human species.

He saw people lose their minds, lose their dignity, lose everything that makes them humans, before ultimately succumbing to the escape of death.

Amidst all these, Frankl had a reason to go on everyday, tending to other inmates, treating, counseling and encouraging them.

He never gave up, he never complained.

He survived the Holocaust, and wrote a bestseller thereafter "Man's search for meaning". A book that has become a symbol of hope, an inspiration to anybody feeling stuck in life.

I respect people who just mutter "it is well" when they are facing their demons, instead of complaining.

Complaining opens you up to influx of bad, negative energy, it is a trap. Don't do it and don't accept it either.

There are obstacles at every stage in our lives, when you conquer this one, bigger ones await.

The quicker/slower you conquer the current level, the quicker/slower you go onto the next level.

Obstacles don't go away, they exist for as long as you exist, so exist and deal with them anyways.

You have a 10 million naira obstacle.

Another person has 5 million naira obstacle.

Another has 1 million naira obstacle.

Another person has accomodation obstacle.

Another person just wants something to eat.

Another person is in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

Another person has a terminal illness and has been told they have 3 months to live.

Are you unlucky or ungrateful?

Calm seas don't make good sailors

Don't complain, be positive.
