One of my closest friends in college (Hi, Johnsy
I’m confident that he’s in that state of his life because, he worked his ass off, knowing that he wasnt given equal opportunities unlike me and our other classmates (or people) who already have it infront - all we had to do was grab it
So he worked hard. Even if he knew that he was a bit academically and financially challenged himself, he never stopped learning. He never stopped speaking his mind out, never stopped trying because I guess that he had this mindset na,
He has to be something. (He is something!) He has to prove to himself that he’d make it out alive, from well, judgements of people he used to live with and cruelty of life perse. So what he did, while he was studying, (he was a scholar)
While studying in college, he spent his time trying to master that talent God has equipped him (which is his hands, and make-up) so that was one of his main sources of money/income before- even up to now. He was the make up artist of 3A-BSE Eng (was that our section? Haha)
Until now he does his make up thingy (check him out @blackmambaartistry on IG) and he’s also a full time private english teacher - not just a teacher but Professional Licensed Teacher (Oh, I have all the time to talk about what he went through and survived them all)
To cut the story short, yes. Life is never fair, and it’ll never be. You may have it all, others have to look to and fro, and search hard for those opportunities, but definitely poverty isnt a choice. The only time it’ll be a choice is when you settle for it,
It’s when you choose to gamble (literally) and think that life we’ll never be better. It’s when you start thinking that why are you going to work for something when others already have it? Why would I work hard if life’s unfair in the beginning?
I mean, I believe noone is meant to live ans die poor, siguro, it’s all part of life, it’s how it works maybe you have to start that way I dont know why but probably because in the end, when you make it and you look back from the day you had nothing, it’ll make you more of a
Humble person and that it’s always possible, you just have to admit what your current state is, make use of what you have (talents and resources)I dont know I could be wrong
I’ll always see Johnsy as a blessing to me and that I’m proud of what he has become and achieved. (all of my friends are a blessing to me in a lot of different ways, and super proud of them) let’s be a blessing to one another.
Help them see opportunities, support them. And believe in them as much as you believe in yourself. (Vice versa?) haha pardon my inconsistencies and lapses I just woke up really from the time i started tweeting this
Let me end this thread by these:
Matthew 6:34 // “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”
Romans 8:18 // “The pain that you& #39;ve been feeling, can& #39;t compare to the joy that& #39;s coming.”
Matthew 6:34 // “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”
Romans 8:18 // “The pain that you& #39;ve been feeling, can& #39;t compare to the joy that& #39;s coming.”
In Ecclesiastes there is the call to plant, to love, to live, and to work and then to enjoy the fruits of all one’s labors.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: “A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted..”
