Remember to Be Calm


Be calm and everything would take care of itself. This does not mean you should not put efforts to ensure everything works out fine, but be calm.
Remember you did not request to be born, you were born when God felt the right time to launch you to earth had come.
Remember you did not request to have all parts of your body during creation, God decided to bring you out the way he wants.
Remember you did not consciously ask to be sent to school, you were sent to school because your parents felt the time for you to start school had come.
Remember, God has a purpose for putting you where he has put you. Remember also that you would not progress if you choose not to want to progress, also remember that prayer alone does not guarantee progress, prayer + effort does.
Put at the back of your mind that even if money grows on branches of trees, you still have to put in effort by going up the tree to pluck it or devise means to bring down the money from the branches.
So be calm. Even though you are out of school with no job, put in efforts to get a job or innovate or start something, there is a reason for everything. But stay calm.
Do not be desperate to match your mates who now ride high-end cars or live in posh places. Remember, not everyone has the opportunity you presently have. Desperation breeds jealousy, jealousy breeds hatred and hatred soils the heart.
Remember, there is time for everything, a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to say hello and a time to let go. Make sure to know the time to let go and the time to remain, but do not forget to be calm.
Remember to be calm when making important decisions. Decisions made out of desperation may have negative effects in future, and sometimes positive effects.
Remember to be calm when you face difficulties, things can still get better and be calm when good times come, things may get bad. Be calm at all times.
Remember that at the end of the day, only very little things would matter, and if you are calm the little things that matter would be yours.
