We all come from somewhere big or
small and through our path we find burns, bruises twists and turns the end is
blur victory is sometimes questioned but that has never been all; looking
beneath every event is what we forget to do even when we have crossed worse
thorns than that which we find pressing at the moment our biggest challenge
turns to be how to cross this current occurrence.
I am Tender your host for today
and am about to share with you two stories they are not similar but they seem
pretty much alike together though from different people and different stories
which I gathered in the course of time.
Philip shares his story:
My name is Philip I am a B.Sc
holder in Accounting I live with my brother, we are both single our parents are
by Gods grace alive and healthy. We have been seeking for jobs since we graduated
from the university though we didn’t graduate in the same year there is a one
year gap between the both of us both in age and other wise I have been trying
to pull all strings possible doing menial jobs just to see that there is food
on our table in no short time my brother got a job at a profitable position in
one of the firms around and he has been making the major payments in the house.
We have been living cool for so long but he is planning to start a family which
is just normal and I am happy for him as he has found love I felt I needed to move out at that point whatever
the cost may seem so I set out in the street looking for any job luckily for me
I found one at a store that sells sport wears the pay wasn’t inviting but I was
really desperate to keep my feet running so I took it.
I gathered enough savings for the
first few months of my working at the shop also with the support of my brother
I was able to get myself a room as my brother’s wedding was coming up very fast
on me and it would feel somehow him bringing a wife to his house and am still
squatting there, he didn’t see it that way but I didn’t except him to. After
much was said and done we exchange pleasantries and I left the house with
somewhat joy in my heart as I felt a grip of accomplishment clothing me.
Been sincere my first few months
out wasn’t really funny as I have spent almost everything on getting a room and
also purchased a bicycle just to save transport but still it just wasn’t funny
with every passing day I kept losing weight, eating light and a whole lot of
economical living just to make earns meet. On a very hot Wednesday I was dying
of thirst but couldn’t leave the room (store) as the new arrivals needed to be
off-loaded suddenly I felt like the
whole world was crashing on me my boss somehow noticed my actions, handed me a
bottle of water which I was craving for at that point of time, he told me to
take a break so I went outside to catch my breath after some minutes I started
singing which I usually do once in a while, I really had a thing for music and
art; I was singing very softly as a was taking my long break when a guy walked
up to me telling me to sing the song I sang last with surprise in my eyes and
curiosity in my mind I greeted him as he was elderly, he didn’t reply to my
greeting but requested I sang the song again at that point I realized I have
stayed too long on my break and needed to return but the man refused which
after much talking agreed that I go but tell him the title of the song and who
sang it. Hastily, I told him it has no title and I just made it up myself, he
seemed surprise but kept his cool as he asked to know my name which I told him he
gave me his card and told me that If I truly owned the sound he just heard I
shouldn’t be here right now, I left him with questions on my mind about all
what he said to me. Seconds turn to minutes and minutes to hours, days into
weeks and weeks into months still facing the trials and tribulations of each
day, my brother’s wife put to bed and I could clearly see the joy in their
faces that even my spirit leaped for joy in the atmosphere of joy I got an anonymous
call which I later discovered to be the man who gave me his card, we exchanged
pleasantries before he asked why I haven’t called him not prolonging the issue
I told him that I planned to call him the next day been Sunday which he
suggested that we meet since I won’t be going to work on that day as he doesn’t
want to cause any hassle between me and my boss I agreed and he gave me an
address and a scheduled time which I kept to with nothing much on my mind.
On arrival at the speculated
venue he called me giving me descriptions on how to meet the drop car that he
sent over there the driver took me to his house which was an edifice to behold,
we met and discussed about life and my journey so far. He managed to convince
me to bring out the sound which he had already been asking for, he was really
convincing so I gave the shot and that was how it all started, I made him some
tracks and he gave me a record deal which was to last for two years before
renewal or abandonment. This new leap gave me a new life a new reason to smile,
laugh, love and be loved its been a journey from scratch as of now I can earn
twice my annual salary in the store just in one night, its really been God all
the way and what surprises me is that the dream that I never had to be doing any
of what I was doing just came into reality. I love my career and my life, I
love life.
I
hope my story inspires someone who is about to give up, feeling like the world
is crashing on you, my brother my sister its not its only a matter of time and
we shouldn’t forget the fact that problems just never finishes as everyone has
his or her own challenges Rich, poor, young and old. Remember also not to be
envious of people, keep a good heart and a good spirit shall abide in you all
one love people one love.
Wow that was mind blowing I am your host tender, looking at the story
above I must confess God works in mysterious ways imagine he didn’t take the
job at the store for reasons may be the pay was small or he spent all his years
in school to come and serve as a store keeper pride would have stolen his gold.
If we recall clearly we would see the desperation and motivational spirit he
kept alive from moving from his brothers house to taking even a low paying to,
sacrificing his time and energy whilst conserving money for unforeseen
challenges I pray we all shall have a zeal to hold on irrespective of trials
and tribulations that we may find in our way and I also want us to believe in our
self even when no one believes in us because whether you believe it or not someone
out there believes in you and has high hopes in you do not let them down by
letting yourself down or thinking less of yourself you make it, you can cause
change and finally let each and every one of us try as much as possible to give
a helping hand we might not have much but from the little we have we can create
much look beyond the next dollar or the money involved and leet the good in
each and every one of us come alive. We believe @VERVEARDOR this is a possibility been good doesn’t cost much I love
you all we love you all try to extend this love to someone out there they need
it.
Remember to share our articles,
poems and lots more to family, friends and even strangers someone out there
needs it God bless you all from
#verveardorFamily.
stick around for the other part you just cant imagine.
