DESIRE

Desire we say is a longing for satisfaction.
In my dealing with people I have come to understand desire from a different perspective. when you ask people about a project and the say its not working, we seem to begin to ask what effort they have put into the said project, that’s because desire propels effort, however low effort might equally mean poor desire, there are projects that we undertake out of cheer experience, we felt like without really asking ourselves if we really desire to pursue that project with everything we have.

Life without desire is somewhat a life without achievement. Desire is the propelling force behind achievements, we cannot achieve beyond our desire to work on that thing.
Like desire, patience is the cost of desire, without patience it is impossible to effectively produce the result of your desire.

Patience gives strength to desire while the dept of your desire determines the length to which you are willing to wait to see it achieved.

I have had occasion to undertake projects and at some point, I began to wonder if there really was any need to embark on this project, seeing that there seem to be no result after over one year of waiting, as a Christian I have prayed and trusted God to what looks like no avail, I strongly invested my effort in to doing all that’s needed without any quest to cut corners but to my dismay, every passing day seem to take me away from seeing my dream come through.

Now that’s the way it works, life might never be nice to you when you have such a strong desire to achieve an end, its very easy to ask if we did all there need to be done, I perfectly agree ,because there are lots of us that expect to achieve without doing the needful, however I also believe a lot of us young people do what’s expected and still end up having to get to the point where we ask is there really any point to invest in the project called life.

I will also add that in economies where things seemingly are working, the developed countries I suggest, its easy to see effort as the reward for an objective, its easy to see the working system and say it applies to all, but I beg to disagree that even in America, there are young vibrant minds that invest in projects, long hours and commitment but nothing seem to come out and we ask-is there really any point to invest into this project called life.

The good news is that, desire has a propensity to create the medium for that goal to be achieved; desire is the axe head needed to bring down the results of our months of planning and hard work.

Desire as simple as it is must be tested and to actually ascertain the extent of your faith in the project, we must get to that point where we seem to wonder why the result never seems forthcoming.

Like my project that almost seem like it was not working, there are so many young eager lives that have tried to set standard aimed at reviving their dreams but somewhere along the line, there has been reason to quit, some are on the verge of quitting and I have few words to say to us.

Quitting only affirms the fact that you were never really ready to pay the price of desire, remember the size of your dream often determines the extent to which you’ll have to wait or better said, the cost of your dream is determined by the size of your dream.

When we begin to desire to live decent lives, we begin to desire expensive and difficult test that are meant to determine to what extent we are willing to pursue that objective of living a decent life.

Life has its test for every objective; both the thieves and the good guys face the same challenge of determining to what extent they want to achieve their set objective.

I encourage you to wait, pay the price of desire and see the end of your dream, I am waiting in several areas of my life, I am waiting to see the growth of my business, I am giving time to all that I have set my mind to achieve, because time acts on everything and I believe every one that wait often sees the result of what they have invested in.

Like a relationship, waiting brings the best of people we believe so much in, its often said we wait on a lady to become what we see in her, I believe a lot is said to justify impatience now called decisiveness, we have redefined every opportunity to practice patience as a need to be straight and forward about what we want, not to say been straight and forward is a bad notion but I strongly suggest that advocates of straight and forward should also be quick to remember there a place for patience, I take a look at the lives of great men, presidents of nations and one thing I have discovered is that, as much as the seek to protect the sovereignty of their people, they always take time to consult and then make decision, its not always, we see the government act as swift as the situation might seem to warrant, I also believe this comes with age and experience, I believe; that also is the reason why many nations don’t entrust their leadership into the hands of young men.

There are strategies for war and they might not always be same for every war ,in fact they are never same for any 2 wars so I believe life needs a lot of patience, be patient enough to see your desire come to pass.

That’s the word for the season.
