Wealth in knowing
Discovering the
wealth we possess is sometimes the most difficult knowledge to come about in
the lifelong quest of knowing oneself.
Even those who
appear to be so self-assured and self-confident to the point of being
self-conceited bordering of nauseating arrogance may just be wearing a mask of
extraversion that is hardly emblematic of who they really are or should be
portraying of themselves.
Wealth is not just
money in the bank even though it matters, however it should matter because it
allows one to stretch and reach rather than just hoard for some fear of poverty
suddenly mowing down our ramparts and laying us bare. We are blessed to be a
blessing for an open hand is a hand that is open to receive.
Driven to succeed
The greatest wealth
however is insight, knowledge that fuels expectation, that undergirds hopes and
fills you with the kind of purposeful resolve that where you are at is
transient and the journey ahead, adventurous and fraught as it might be, leads
to a destination that will make it all worthwhile.
It is what gives
joy to living well and strengthens the will to latch on to the affirmative in
the midst of the negative and the uncomfortable, it drives you through that
valley of the shadow of death assured of the fact that you will not faint but
arrive at the summit to bask in the light of being an overcomer.
The amazing spirit in us
Time and again, I
see people draw strength from deep within to do things that look like the
miraculous, all because they believed and believed themselves enough to dare.
Fighting adversity
with a tenacity that tells a thrilling story that sometimes never gets told,
the spirit of man is amazing to behold, it takes him to places his senses are
yet to fathom or his mind is yet to fully comprehend, but like the engine of a vehicle; take the breaks off, put it in gear and depress the accelerator – and where
you are becomes where you were as where you want to be gets to become where
you’ll eventually be.
In difficulty, we
once again find the simplicity to completely understand things so easily.
