There is a time for hope and a time for acceptance

The journey of life ends in two ways, SUCCESS and FAILURE. Often time I hear on the radio, television and even from the books we read online and in hard copies where some writers claim that the power to success and failure are all in your hands to decide and when you check what happens in the reality of life where you and I exist on, you will understand that it is a different thing all together. Most of the successes we have achieved in life is not through our effort and the decisions we made during the day, it didn't come because of the steps we took and all the proper plans we had before achieving the success.

Even the failures you may have experienced in the journey of life did not just happen only  because of the wrong choices and decisions you made during the time you were struggling to  achieve success. Sometimes we forget that the power of success and failure lies in the hands of that supreme being who created us and allowed us to exist as human on earth. Yes I might be sounding awkward with this my explanation but the mean truth in all these is that, the thought and believe we put on these human believe and ideology that the power to succeed and failure in life are all in our hands to decide are all wrong and must not be accepted any longer.

Well my good friends reading this right now, I will prove this point of mine with this little Information I will be dropping here.

According to the word of God in the holy bible, God said, that all power belongs to him, and all the power and knowledge to make wealth are all in his hands to decide. He went further to Let us know that his rain of blessing falls on both the good and the bad, in otherwords, he is the one who decides who gets his blessing of success and failure. So therefore, whether you believe it or not, God the creator of all beings is the one who blesses and at the same time he is the one who curses.

I don't want to sound religious right now but the main point we have to take at heart is this, whether you struggle from morning till the next day, whether you start from 1st day of january of every year till the last day of the month of December to hustle and work hard, if your time of blessing is not due for you to be blessed, you will continue to toil and nothing to show for it.

With this little explanation of mine about success and failure, I will go back to my topic for discussion which captions; There is a time for hope and a time for acceptance. Having gotten the idea about who has the power of success and failure, its also important that you know how to manage these two key words to every result you receive when you are on the journey of waiting for God's release of blessing to your doorstep and these words are HOPE and ACCEPTANCE.

WHAT IS HOPE?

According to Oxford language dictionary, it defines hope as a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen. And for you to have this particular feeling, there must be an activity going on in your life which your hope is relied upon for an answer. You can not expect a particular thing to happen when you are not doing anything to actually help your expectations to come to materialisation.

You may have in mind to set a project and after going through and making all necessary plans, setting all the underground works to make your project work and hoping that it will go well but at the end of the whole thing you will be disappointed that your plans didn't work as you planned. Now would you be seen as someone who didn't do well to plan properly? Or would you be blamed for not putting all efforts to achieve success? These things happen every day of our lives where you get disappointed and fail even when you plan so well and worked very hard to achieve success. But the most important thing is to never to give up on hope when you still have another opportunity to revisit your failed plans, get it fixed up and try again with the hope that this time around God will make it successful for you.

Now you see, to achieve success is not really in your hands to decide but rather in him that knows when to make it happen. It's really bigger than man comprehension and understanding.

WHAT IS ACCEPTANCE?

Also according to Oxford language dictionary, it defines acceptance as the action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered. Yes this particular aspect is seen as moment where you have to receive whatever be the result first and then try to take record of what could be the reason for success or failure. It's so important to have this mindset of acknowledging whatever that comes to you in the journey of life in good faith, then try going through it to observe why it happened that way, if it's something to give another try you can try one more time but if it's not something you can't give another try, you can decide to accept it in good fate and rest.

One will always say, "I have hope and believe that one day I will get to the promise land. And after a long period of waiting, praying and striving so hard to get to that promised land one wished for, one still end up not getting to the final destination of whatever desire he or she has prayed for and waited for. Right there you give up and accept the outcome, or you give it another try and keep your hope alive for another  better day in future.
