Hello hivers, let's talk about hard times, unpleasant and sad moments because whether we like it or not,the things that we don't want to do are the things that would make us grow/change.

Doing only the things you want to do will limit you and hinder you from getting what you want because whenever it is hard for you to change or grow it means that you only do things that are easy for you to do.

The truth is that everyone knows the truth on what to do to get what they want,you know you need to study well to pass,you know you need to learn more to become better,you know you should exercise,eat well,work hard to get the things that we deeply desire.

You don't need a preacher to tell you some things,you already know but the problem is you don't want to do it,you don't feel like doing it......The fact that you can say you're procastinating means that you know you should be doing some important things but you choose to postpone them.

In life,growth will most definitely not occur if you only do what you want to do.....the process of growth is a painful one......the eagles go through pain to renew their youth,people who have built their body went through the pain of working out their muscles.

If it scares you,good!, challenges that scare us lead to growth

Think of pain like a fire...for example on gold,it refines the gold....put raw food on fire and it gives you a better and improved version.....as long as you're putting in on a controlled fire, you're good to go,when i mean pain,i'm not referring to injuring yourself....what I mean is you should be ready for the discomfort and get ready to leave that comfort zone.

When you put water in a pot and then put the pot on fire,the pot transfers heat from the fire to the water and depending on much heat is given,the water begins to form bubbles as a result of the heat(a disturbance)....you must be ready to not-go-with-the-routine,be prepared for a distruption in your daily activities,be ready to be disturb your comfort if you really want to grow.

I would like to use an elderly friend of mine as an example,first born in a family of 5 children,he had the responsibility of catering for his younger ones till his parents died and then had to fend for himself and his other 5 siblings,he told me then that during that period of time,he wanted to resort to going to his family members;uncles,aunties etc in order to ask them for money, although i see nothing wrong with that but hr told me then that it would make him lazy if did and it would make him overdepend on them for money.

These people still ended up giving him a token for himself and his younger ones but because he chose to start a business at that time and learn a skill,he has a big company in Lagos now for smartphones and laptops....he sells laptops and phones,repairs them and also sells parts of phones and laptops as well as their accessories.

He could have gone for the better option,which was to ask for money but he chose to do what he felt was right & what would help him grow rather than what he wanted to do(easy route)

Peace is very good and in the presence of peace(i don't mean between nations)things like brainstorming, innovations are very low.....so if a challenge scares you because you fear it might take your "peace" then that's good because it is that kind of challenge that can change the situation.

You can't keep doing the same things and expect a different result,you have to do something differently to get a different result....the challenge is to start doing the things you find inconvenient especially the ones you know will push you closer to your dreams.
