How we react to things when we are face with difficulties
matters a lot. Difficulties which could range from health to career and life in
general.
No one promised that life will be fair and we all know that
is what we seek, that we will get. What you do at that point where you feel
this is the end is very crucial. Some people have made good story line through
their life stories. They are eager to let people know that it wasn’t all rosy
for them, they had to start from somewhere, they felt they could never come out
of their situation, but eventually they did and their life has become a
bestseller stories to others.
Someone said the most difficult life situation is when you
are terminally ill, that is when you realise that it is actually true that
health is wealth. Just maybe you are retired and instead of enjoying your
retirement with your savings, you find yourself using it to take care of
yourself or maybe a sick child or relative of yours.
You may think your case is worst so you should be allowed to
feel depressed, but when you come across people that don’t wallow in self pity
as a result of predicament, then you see yourself as not been positive but as a
failure cos at that point, you have failed no one but yourself.

You may think that this is just one out of a thousand, but this lady is an inspiration to so many ladies out there, she attended the recently concluded WOW symposium that took place at the Intercontinental hotel in Lagos. People where amazed about her tremendous courage and impact she has made in the lives of people especially women. She isn’t shy about telling people where she came from and what it took her to get to this point in her life.
Some people who have being diagnosed to have just few months or days to live do not conform to the situation, rather they take charge of their situation and live it the best way they can. Not necessarily partying hard or doing some negative stuff, but making out time to spend quality time with families and friends, rebuilding and strengthening their relationship with their maker and above all impacting lives and making sure that people they will leave behind will remember them for the wonderful times shared.

A close relative of mine was epileptic and her own case became severe due to the different places we had to take her to just because we wanted her to get well. Her mental state deteriorated and for a long part of her life, she was always indoors due to her mental state, had to stop school and was always kept in the watch. After awhile depression crept in and she later gave up the ghost. It was so painful and we just knew it is better this way so she can go and rest with her maker rather than suffer the pains and the heartache.
Having knowledge about epilepsy now made me look back and realise that we didn’t take charge of the situation in a positive way, because many people walking the streets and working are epileptic. They didn’t let epilepsies take hold of their lives and affairs.
Well I will stop here today but before that, would love for everyone to take charge of their situation, no matter how bad it is, push it towards the positive side and have faith in God and yourself that you can face life and be a better person to yourself and people around you.
