Greetings my distinguished and wonderful Emotions & Feelings community, I am honored to be in this community, and I will share the theme of January, and is interesting to start the year with an interesting and better theme Tag Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is what I started my year with because I said to myself I must key into this theme of the month of January, I created time to meditate on the theme and I notice that no one can make you feel enthusiasm unless you create one yourself and there are different ways to create an avenue to leave a happy life, not only when you have money or all the physical things, but enthusiasm is a reality that takes place inwardly before it comes out outwardly. I had a story of my life I wants to share related to our theme that almost makes me dislike going back home, but in the end, there was Joy.
Ever since I graduated from College, I was hoping to leave home for work, I have always seen the world differently because I had that belief that people are not honored in their town due to some reason, maybe we all did, no matter the effort I put in, trying my best to impress my family and the people around me, the action seems aborted and was not honored. But if I travel out to other places I felt respected and honored, but the moment I returned home, the reverse is the case, after my college, I was at home for about four (4) years making sure I leave happy with everyone and always striving to make people around me happy, and one thing about me, I love to be around people that will value me and knows my worth and I have a unique way to make people cheerful, but no one to cheer me up. hmmmmmmm
I find it challenging to be happy in my town and earn money as expected because of the familiarity and we don’t know much about the internet, the only means to make money is cultivating farmland, and we have a small store but it wasn't selling as expected.
August 9th was my birthday and that was the day I left home for work in one of the Cities far from my hometown. I stayed for a period of 3 weeks without anyone calling me to find out how am doing, I was disturbed, but I just need to be happy, it was one month exactly I started receiving calls from home that they missed me and requesting me to return home just because the youth in the church are not longer serious, they don't longer come to some of the gatherings as expected some were complaining that the elders of the church need to find a way to value every youth and help the younger ones, the different organization that I served as a leader were calling me to at least come back even if it is once in a week to talk to youth because while I was at home I do organize a lively program for youth with my own money, I organize programs and gives awards to the first, second and third position, that makes the youth to be serious with the activities of the church, there was serious panic at home, but this is people that did not value me and they never appreciate my effort. so I received their calls and I was confused because I just started work and don’t have the money to take me home. So I was silent about it. It was almost 5 months after the incident, I did not travel home, I started receiving messages from people at home, that I should at least look for time and come home
Finally, I choose to visit home without telling anyone, it was indeed a surprise to everyone. As usual, they don’t use to honor me at home. But this time around the table turned over in my favor because I felt like I should not leave home again, I felt comfortable, and everyone welcomes me very well, and to my greatest surprise, I don’t know who informed people that am home. Not up to 1 hour after my return, people come to my house, welcoming me warmly. I was feeling like a king, I was feeling so enthusiastic.
On Sunday morning, I went to church as I arrived I saw people looking at me and they were all amazed. Little kids ran to me and welcome me warmly, I felt so honored and happy in my home, and I gave out some gifts to some of the youth and children, thou it was not much but they show appreciation.
After the service, we went out and snap pictures together with some of the brethren, and something happens during the snapshot, the camera captured one of the moments that looks so amazing, how I was able to hold a sister from falling because she is putting on high heels, but I was able to save her I become like a savior that day. Throughout the week it was fun and colorful.
(This is me and some of my colleagues in the musical group from church, this is the incident that captures the attention of many, the lady is about to fall and the picture below showed how I hold her from falling, snapped with Spark 4)
(here is me saving the lady that is about to fall when we are taking a snapshot, pictures snapped with Tecno spark 4)
(here is my picture, feeling so enthusiastic. a picture snapped with Tecno spark 4)
In conclusion, It was time for me to leave home for my work, and people were disturbed, and am also disturbed, They felt I should not go back and also felt like never going but I need money for myself and to continue to surprise them with amazing packages. I was happy to be home because of how I was welcome and how they related to me. Presently am looking forward to when there will be a holiday or break from my work, I can’t wait to find myself at home again.
What I learned from my story.
- create something that will bring unity and the enthusiasm you are looking for.
- Always be ready to take risks that will bring positive changes and will bring joy and happiness to everyone around you.
Thank you for taking out time to go through my post and am open to being corrected where necessary and you can teach me more in areas I need to improve.
