It's Just Not eNouGh!

Hi people.

I know, I know. It's been a while. Like a friend once wrote some years back; "Life's been deeper than rap for me" in recent times. But I think it's a more positive than a negative depth though...Either-way, please forgive my busy-ness dear folks.

Before i begin, let me give you my word that this will not be a lengthy post (to be honest, as i type  right now, I'm not 80% certain i can keep this promise). However, if it starts seeming unlikely for me to stick to this as we go along, I'll just delete this part. :D

Okay, basically, I'm sure majority of us know what goals are. And if there were people who didn't know the dictionary definition, i'm almost certain that hasn't stopped them from setting one goal or the other at some point. Now if you're going to set a goal, then it's safe to assume that if the desire to accomplish it is really there, you'd come up with a working strategy that's geared towards attaining it. Beyond planning and strategizing, you'd begin to actively work out and implement in reality, what has been plotted on paper.

It's pretty simple right?

But then, as effective and useful as this simple process is, many people neglect to use it. Instead, their

cycle looks something like this; 1. I have this goal i want to attain. 2. I have no idea what the best way to attain it is. 3. I take absolutely no reasonable action towards the attainment of this goal. 4. I expect the goal to be attained.

Wow. *Claps hands* Nice one.

See it takes a lot more than 'wanting' to get things done. As the well known saying goes; 'Pursuit is the proof of desire.' It's about time we got off those hypothetical high horses and got active.

It's not enough to wish this generation were better trained and less immoral. (Proverbs 22:6)
It's not enough to cuss out your leaders and sentence your country to doom. (1Timothy2:1-3)
It's not enough to wear the title 'Christian' like a head warmer. (Colossians 1:10)
It's not enough to sit wishing for the perfect partner/buckets of money/a good name. (Matthew 6:33)
It's not enough to keep needing, nor to keep wanting, nor to keep getting. (Luke 6:38)
It's not enough to be a 'good doer' or 'good person' or 'responsible citizen'. (Romans 10:9-10)
It's not enough to know the problem and hope for a better tomorrow. (James 2:14-26)

It's not about being good enough or giving it your best shot. It's about knowing who is, understanding that He is your best shot, choosing Him and doing what He wills. <2 Corinthians 12:9-10>
That's what you do when nothing less can truly get things done.

P.s: I kept my promise! ^_^

Think_About_Me

#Think_About_Me

It’s convenient to forget
Acting in contradiction to your depth.
Playing solo and doing whatever you want to…
As though unaware that I’ve always got you.
So they don’t understand? Yeah I get it.
And the fact is everybody’s got their limit.
But before you get mad and throw a flesh-happy tantrum
Give me a thought for a second would you hon?

Lately relationships have been a mess and you’re irritated
Till it’s like every moment you hung in there’s been wasted.
You’re working really hard and still they’re giving you grief
Forgiving and appearing cowardly since all they want is beef.
So what’s the point if all your efforts keep biting the dust?
It’s like they owe you but you never stop paying these costs!
So you shut them out; they deserve neither love nor time
But before you made that decision tell me, did I cross your mind?

The question burning in your heart is “Why on earth do I bother?”
Your toil, pain & sweat lies disregarded yet they talk of honest labor.
Well mother always said opportunity comes but once,
And isn’t it the righteous who ought to be taking by force?
So forget the patient dog - you prefer flesh to bones
And it’s fine long as you get what you deserve, they’re on their own.
Because before you ever owned a bed, you imagine they’d all made theirs,
So is this why you revel in your greed and ignore the needy’s tears?

You may be thinking I’m a really hard person to please.
But those who know me would tell you that they disagree.
Please don’t assume you’re the only person stuff happens to
You’ve made me go through much worse…yet still I love you.
I do not want everything – just all of your heart;
‘Cus I could reach everywhere else as soon as I get that.
I’m very much in love with you, though often you think me a pain.
It’s little wonder you keep whining though…when you could just say my name...
