A GREAT LIFE LESSON FROM A WOMAN IN LABOUR

A GREAT LIFE LESSON FROM A WOMAN IN LABOUR

Any woman who is in labour, is under intense, excruciating pains and anguish. At that moment, she can curse the husband for even putting her in a family way. She can curse and regret her choice of getting pregnant at all. All these are the effect of the pain of labour. In the normal sense, she will never say such things. However, the moment the child comes out, there is a kind of joy that fills her heart. She feels a kind of serene atmosphere surrounding her. She feels relaxed and proud of her effort. She fills a sense of fulfillment.

In the same manner, if we want joy in our heart, peace around us and have a sense of fulfillment in life, we should not be deterred by the pains, anguish, labour, oppositions, attacks and struggles on our way to success in life. If a woman considers the pains of labour she will never dare get pregnant and there will not be any sense of fulfillment to her as a woman. Likewise, if we consider what it will take us to become great, the sacrifices, the self denials, the commitments, the dedications, the abandonment, the name tagging, the gossips, etc, we will never make progress in life. Nevertheless, the fulfillment that follow or the end product is what matters. If you think that finding fulfillment in life has nothing in comparison, then you have to pursue that fulfillment. 

Have you ever asked the likes of Mark Zuckerberg who is the CEO of Facebook, Tim Berner Lee who invented the internet, Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia, Evans Williams of Blogger, Nikolas Zennstrom and co of Skype, Shiva Ayyadural of email, David Filo and Jerry Yang of Yahoo, Jack Dorsey and Dick Costello of Twitter, etc what they passed through to become great inventors and notable names today? Do you know the kind of discouragement they went through? The you know the kind of pain of failure they experienced? Ask our Aliko Dangote? Ask Bill Gates? They had one or more bitter experiences in life that would have deterred them from being successful in life.

Be courageous! You can make it. That you are experiencing pains like a woman in labour, discouragement, oppositions, etc doesn't  mean it is all over with you. Pick up yourself and move forward. You are near success and fulfillment. Good luck!
