Why not wait some more?
Patience is one key virtue with which you can give this live purpose.
I remember the first time my mum allowed me fry Akara(beans cake) all by myself few years back.
She allowed me spice it and fry, I dipped the first into the hot oil and within few seconds the bean cake was brown.
Without hesitation, I removed it from the oil. My mom called my attention to the fact that the bean cake wasn't cooked. I argued with her.
Mum said:
Put it back inside the oil, it's not cooked.
I replied hastily:
But mum the Akara(beans cake) is brown already
Mum replied calmly:
Open it and check
So I reluctantly opened it and to my surprise, It was completely raw pudding inside not even near cooked.
Mum said something afterwards:
Even though it looks brown, it's because of the hotness of the oil. Allow it fry some more, Leave it in the oil for a while.
And since then, I've made sure I allowed it fry some more despite the color.
Moral Lesson
That I'm-in-a-hurry-spirit is what you mustn't allow rule you. You can run off and end up just chasing shadows.
- No stamina
- No real content
- Just raw pudding
- Then frustration sets in!
I hear some people say:
The Lord has called me, I must go. I must hurry, No time
Why don't you learn some more?
Why don't you build more stamina some more?
Some people will brag:
I must get this and that no matter the cost.
Why not wait some more?
Why not take your life one step at a time?
Some frustrated couple would say:
I can't stay in this marriage anymore. It has to go.
Why not wait some more and try to make your marriage work?
Some students would say:
I failed! I am giving up, I cannot continue anymore.
Why not wait some more time and try again with more commitment?
Some guys with all the charisma there is would say:
I love her, she is beautiful, I must marry her.
Why not wait some more? Time and patience will reveal the content!!!
The heat is there, It looks like you will burn, everything looks brown. That color is just deceptive, Look within!
I understand the pressure. The heat, its unbearable.
But learn some more!
Allow time prove what you are really made off! Stay more! Sit more! Learn more! Try again! Study more!
You will come out better! Stronger!
It may look brown but it will not burn!!!!
