Trying my steemit writing skills after being absent here for almost 1 week due to other busy schedules. Traveled from Port Harcourt,Rivers State to Lagos State, Nigeria; for a mind upgrade session by some success personified individuals.
Woke this morning and after my prayers, began thinking out loud.
Take a cup of original coffee and relax.
Life can be so funny or terrible sometimes depending on the side you get to view it from.
You don't understand until you're the one.
UNDERSTANDING - under what are you standing...
Bishop Wesley Arije ( Memphis, Tennessee. USA).
We act most times based on our level of wisdom per time.
This is what makes followers think their superiors are wicked or strict. If only they can upgrade to the superior's level of wisdom at the time.
If you are ever a superior, and you watch your subordinate act and it doesn't even match with what you'll call wisdom, you are left with another thought how they would act in such a condescending way.
This always happens and so i thought to share my thoughts on STEEMIT.
Everyone likes to be heard. Everyone likes to be correct.
Everyone likes to be preferred.
I particularly think this is as a result of the inherent selfishness man naturally possesses.
Man wants to be ontop always and even when it takes the efforts of others to get to the top, he would always want to attribute the success to himself.
I love the military so much. For its heirarchy, autocracy sometimes, humanity, and discipline.
I like the integrity of the uniform too.
I like the trainings and those who represent the military.
I am found in a system like a military system where hierarchical orders are very much observed moreso when it has to do with the unseen forces- talking about the spiritual here.
Sometimes it takes wisdom to stay and not to react to certain circumstances not because of the inability to, but because of the trainings received either by reason longevity in the field or by some sort of maturity being exhibited by reason of placement or office.
Sometimes, and because man was created a domineering being from inception, there's this intended outburst that could result when in some kind of situations.
Maturity is the ability to know so much and say so little or nothing at all. It's also the way one endures the present and seeks out a better way in tackling the same- this is fondly called WISDOM.
Sometimes, the razz nature of our society is just unbearable and it becomes so tempting to wanting to act or react accordingly. But there's this thing in a man of experience and wisdom that tells him to just hold a little while.
The fastest to respond to a situation may be termed as the less wise one.
This results to what i refer to as 'INTENTION & ACTION'.
Our eventual action most of the time is being misinterpreted.
Sometimes as the doer of the action, your intentions become so misinterpreted and on a second thought you just take another breathe. This is not dying in silence. It's simply maturity.
Even your friends may call it pride.
Your co-workers may become suddenly adamant maybe for selfish reasons too.
Then, you remember one thing that you're in a world of your own.
I imagined how great people go through thick stuff just to arrive where they did eventually.
If you've ever found yourself in such predicament, do not die in silence as this may result to inferiority complex which already makes you lose belief in yourself.
Never allow issues get the greater part of you.
Circumstances don't define us.
Situations get us better and stronger.
I know one thing of the devil; he gets frustrated when you don't move in line with what direction he came. Soon you'll become a bad business for his investment-if he'll ever give up though, as it's not in his nature to do.
Always remind yourself who you are while taking steps towards becoming more of an icon to be celebrated in the nearest future.
Never try to impress.
Just be you.
Be happy.
Take much pride in being original.
Work at being a better version of you.
Try not overtaking your boss. You'll regret you ever did especially if he is a smart but gentle one.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. You learn each time you're defeated- that's if you're given the opportunity to retry.
Have a lovely STEEMIT week!
