Have you been there before where you are looking out for something that either was never lost or you are just blinded to where you kept it?
I remember the day I left my apartment for a meeting. I had locked the door and left the house.
Just few minutes after leaving the house, I remembered I forgot something I needed to go with to the event and it was locked inside my room. I ran back home to pick it and on getting to the door, I couldn't find my keys. So many questions ran through my head.
Did I lock the key inside the house?
Did I drop it along the way while leaving?
Or maybe it fell off me while I was rushing home just to pick all that I forgot.
Well, to cut the long story short, I didn't find the key so I went to the event just the way I was before coming back home. It was a long day and I didn't even remember I was looking for anything earlier because I had such a great time. It was time to go home, and as I slowly approached the house, suddenly, I remembered what had happened earlier where I couldn't find my bunch of keys.
You could tell from the mood change and my facial expression that I was not ready for another unending adventure and I just needed to sleep, so I was not interested in an endless search and moreso I didn't want to consider breaking the lock just to gain access into the house. As, I dipped my hands in my bag to pick my phone, Lo and behold, I felt I touched a metal and then I reached deeper in the bag and there was the key quietly in bag without raising an alarm even if I have been shouting about looking for the same, well they don't have voices, and maybe I wasn't just calm enough to look deeper.
This is the same way we look for something that is never lost. The key to a better life, better dream, bigger upliftment and greater heights is really never lost or hidden. It is just our ability to see and reach out for these things that limits us.
Why do we keep looking for what is not lost?
What we are looking for most times is all that we are carrying already. It is in outer composition and makeup already. Why fight for what you already have victory over. Why sought after what is not needed for your journey yet, but maybe will be a requirement in the next phase.
All that we need to succeed, all the keys we need to unlock greater doors or better opportunities is locked up inside of our quest to look carefully and get it.
Never believe anything is lost until you have searched everywhere and there is the fulfillment that this thing is really not here. Push harder on your dreams and goals.
Launch the giant on the inside of you. Stop looking for what is not lost. Stay firm on your believes and follow your instinct, especially at the times when you can truly say this is the right direction.
Never say never and find your keys.
