Have you ever seen someone that craves food? A good picture to start with. We grow as we learn or maybe I should also say, we learn as we grow. Nevertheless, one should not mistake growth to just days because many have live so long with little knowledge, attributions or wisdom displayed. Another Sunday, the beginning of a new week. Most of us always forget this and start counting the week from Monday. I know, it is the beginning of the work week, that's how prioritized work is.
Before pushing any further let me take time to ask how your Sunday is. Are you trying to meet up with dinner with someone this evening, a friendly hangout? Or perhaps, you are arranging yourself ahead tomorrow. For me, the most important thing today is that I was privileged to partake in today's church service. My Sunday is always hectic and I don't need to overemphasize it. If I can give quality time back to my creator in the process, then there is no loss here. I don't know for you but as for me, I believe in the supernatural existence.
That said, let's dive headlong into the full story of the day. Maybe I have touched it a little. Have I? Yes, I think I said something about 'prioritizing' in the first paragraph. Most of our challenges are centered on what we prioritize. It may sound funny yet most of our worries are not worries at all, it is just us choosing to incorporate what doesn't matter. Many of us live life of covetousness. We want to make it because someone else has. Many times we fail to check their records; leverages, how long they stayed grinding and to even add to that, if their source is legit.

I am not saying here that we should stay idle, or give up on our expectations, no. What I mean here is we should be real and content (don't bite more than you can chew). Let me tap into the Scriptures a little; 'God does not tempt any man, but each man is dragged away by their ungodly desires (James 1:13-14). I have heard many scenarios where marriages that were worth millions collapse. Both couples entered into unnecessary debt just to showcase they've landed.
In the end, they have to spend the rest of their lives settling debts. Worst of all, these marriages break when the pressure becomes unbearable. That's when both realize they were not meant for each other (according to them), the entire love decays because from its inception, love was never there, it was just both parties craving for lust.
In our daily life pursuits, how often do we start comparing ourselves with others? We look for possible ways to fastrack our future. In the end, the expected short cut will cut our lives short. How many have been arrested for murder or attempted murder. Maybe this may not be rampant in your part of the world yet over here, the issue of money ritual is taking the street. Someone just drove a car and you feel that should have been you.

Many young guys nowadays are not more interested in deligent money making so they become fraudsters. How did it all begin? Their cravings to paint nightclubs blue-black lured them in a direction of doing anything for money. To all the young guys out there, if you are diligently making your daily bread, kudos to you (of course I am one of those). Let me take this time to drop a piece of advice; 'avoid anybody that can do anything for money'. End relationships, familiarities and connection with such people, they are cravers.
This also happens in the world of business, many of us want to reach to the TOP so fast that we TRY to manipulate our customers. In short, craving is one of the things that is currently distorting our economy. Everybody wants to make huge money off their neighbor. prices of goods and service are very high because we believe that's our root to success. Exploitation takes the center stage and an economy of no pity emerges with the added government pressure on the people. In the end, when we do the right diggings to why we are doing this, it is just pure cravings and nothing else.
To conclude, let me add, we are living in a world of 'keep your advice to yourself' or when you try to push too much of your advice to the board you get scolded. There is a need for us to recheck our daily live engagement. What is it that we are trying to kill ourselves for? Are they even worth it? Many times we just depress ourselves over things we could just let go and have peace of mind. I have seen someone spend an entire year's salary to buy a mobile phone.
There is nothing better he or she is doing with the phone; the idea is to feel among. In the end, it will be debt upon debt. You will have to continually sub the phone. Adding to that, do well to keep at least half or one third of the money extra for any emergency phone repairs. In the end, who are you impressing? There is still much to talk about but let me drop the pen here, think and think again.
