Something happened today that made me finally understand that what/ who we listen to or read have a great impact on how we react to the situations we face.

I know I’m not alone when I say there are moments when you feel that your life isn’t moving the way you expect it to.

Over the past couple of days I’ve been feeling kinda of but I hadn’t paid attention to it. I honestly just swept the feeling under the rug thinking it’ll magically just go away. But it didn’t so here I am on a chilly Thursday afternoon bawling my eyes out because I thought I wasn’t where I wanted to be at this stage of my life.

This isn’t going to be a depressing post I promise. It gets better here on out.

So, as I cried and thought of all that was going wrong. The Holy Spirit brought to mind quite a number of bible verses I’ve actually read that slowly shifted my perspective. Lyrics from songs were even brought to mind.

And it got me thinking that if this had happened somewhere in 2018 I’d be in a state of depression and the funny thing is no one would know because I’ve mastered the art of smiling through pain and joking around while dying a little bit inside.

Back then I hadn’t really put in effort to check what I listened to and read unlike now. I took in a lot of garbage and when the situation turned murky I could only bring out the garbage.

So, what’s the point of this post, please be mindful of what you give ear to and what you put in your mind. Because when push comes to shove, that’s what will come out of you.

I’m really happy right now. This is a small victory for me and I’m going to cherish it.

And also, if at anytime in your life you feel forgotten and left behind, remember that God sees you and cares for you. He has such big plans for you. You’re not behind. You’re on time. This is your journey. Trust the process.

Your only competition is yourself. Just keep bettering yourself. You’ll make it.

God didn’t bring you this far to leave you.

P. S: check out my first poem or whatever it was that was published in the newspaper when I was in senior high school.
