I grew up in a Christian home and everything have been taught was to always believe in God. But as an individual, I tend to always put my trust in my ability and I have this great feeling that hard work can get you everything.
Okay now back to this week's abundance tribe bi-weekly question what the hardest truth have learned.
I must say the hardest truth have learned so far is
PUTTING SO MUCH TRUST IN MY ABILITY AND FORGETTING GOD
let me tell you my story this happened last semester.
Last semester happen to be one of the semesters with the least courses to offer,I offered just six courses and because of this, I did extra time when it comes to studying because I wanted a distinction result and so I was very confident in myself.
I would rather spend the whole day reading than praying. And so exam came I went ahead to do the exam and I came across a course that I have no idea what to do even after studying hard. That very day I remembered God and prayed to ask him for help . I did what I could do and left the exam hall, got back home still went ahead to pray over the exam because I was not sure what to expect as a result of that specific course.
After a month the result came out and lo and behold, the course I could not attempt well but put God first came me with a good result and the one I thought I could do it with just my ability with so much reading came with an average pass mark. And then I realize one hard truth to never depend all on my abilities but also seek help always from God. If had put God I'm sure the ones I studied hard for would have come with a great result and hopefully I would have gotten the distinction result I wanted.
LIFE HAPPENS
One other hard truth have come to realize is that life is never going to be smooth always it comes with the good side and bad side
There are some times that i make plans and one way or the other I have no choice but to change my plans because of unforeseen negative circumstances I call this "life happens". like when we all plan a birthday for my grandma but unfortunately she could not live to witness the day.
WE ALL ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS
Sometimes I hear people complain how they get tricked into making bad decisions and blame it on others but the truth is when taking that particular decision we know within ourselves what we are getting into but felt we could just scale through and not face the consequences and so one thing we need to understand is no matter the choice we make it something we already make up our mind to do one major reason I say we all are responsible for our actions and it a truth we need to admit and stop blaming others for our mistakes.
GIVE THANKS ALWAYS
This particular truth I keep telling myself I need to get used to. Sometimes I frown at myself for what I want and could not have access to but then I realized some people wish they have what I have just to survive I then see how clueless I can be for nothing understanding the truth about being grateful and a reason why I need to learn the hard truth to give thanks in whatever situation I find myself.
These truth will always live with us only for us to admit and get used to.
