Could it be true that when the disrable is not available, the available becomes the desirable?
Follow me as i share with you from my personal experience...
With the situation we find our selves in Nigeria, it actually confirms the sayin; when the desirable is not available,the available becomes the desirable.
It shows that our desirability is influenced by the constraints or limitations of our circumstances.
For example, a few years ago, my favorite snack or small chop was shawarma. I could just wake up one day and decide to only eat shawarma and chivita juice for dinner.
It became part of me that i felt at some point that if i do not eat sharwama,i will fall sick. But when the economy changed, and i couldn't afford sharwama, i realised that nothing will happen to me if i dont eat sharwama. It actually humbled me. Now i have to switch to roasted maiz and peer or coconut especially in this raining season.
Thank God that human beings have the ability to adapt to situations LOL.
Another scenario is when that statement was said to my elder brother. He was an upcoming drummer. Severally they waited for the best drummer in their music group who had mastered the art of not showing up regularly.
My bro was always on ground, but he had not mastered drumming so well. One-day the great drummer was long awaited for and as usual he didn't show up. My bro was asked to mount the drums after the music director made that comment; when the desirable is not available ...
With regards to me again, I had accident and staying in one place can be terrible. I blame myself for demanding too much attention from my lover who wasn't really close. But then, I am not someone who can stay in one place. For over 7 years, I have been a sleeping, walking, working young man. So it was awful. My lover got fed up and started acting up giving excuses of her being unavailable when needed. Now my ex saw my accident as an opportunity. Maybe out of pity or so but she was available at any speed dial. I will keep the remaining details don't ask me. But then it confirms this quote.
LESSON
It is not all the time your perfect plan will go as planned. There may occur intervening circumstances. Do not be rigid for you will loose the end goal for sticking to a particular person or pattern. And finally, endeavor to identify what is available, train it or groom it to be desirable such that you will always have a handfull of desirable options and you will eliminate being stranded.
