I woke up this morning been Thursday with a lot going through my mind as things were just getting worst day by day as mom was asked to stop her work due to the high rate of inflation in the economy, she wakes up every day thanking God for the gift of life and all she does was compare her self with those who are laying down in the dark part of the world with no one to talk to.
They lay down lifeless waiting for the day of judgment.
Inflation is gradually becoming worse as it creeps slowly into becoming hyperinflation.
The case here is that I tend not to understand the nature of inflation as inflation occurs only when there is a high volume of money in circulation but it seems even the money in circulation is not always enough to meet our daily needs.
Dad on the other side goes to work and receives a stipend for the services he renders to this small store where he got his recent job after losing his work with a company where he served as a manager and now a mare storekeeper.
The increasing needs of one in high ten tension can even lead to one having heart failure.
Though Daddy is a bit old as he just celebrated his 60th birthday early this month, Daddy will still encourage himself and we the children that it will come to a day when all this will become history.
I see this as a word of encouragement from him not to lose hope in our endeavors.
My siblings are still struggling in college with pressing demands on Daddy.
It has not been all that easy from the look of things even when he still pretends that everything is ok.
I have tried my possible best to see how best I can assist him in my little way even though it will not do much. I am just a graduate struggling to make ends from the little job I got after my schooling, the stipends I get hardly settle my problem as I try as much as possible not to lay any of my burden on my dad so that he will be able to meet to some of the needs in the house and that of my siblings who are in college.
No one can make you happy - unless you make yourself happy.
This comforting word is always used by that same man who struggles to see that everything in the house is put in place.
He always tells us that we can do ourselves well by staying positive in every situation.
Dad tries as much as possible to be positive even in the midst of challenges
Considering the food shortage in the economy Dad decided to put his land to use as he cultivated maize and rice all this in preparation that next year 2022 might be tougher than this year 2021.
Anyone who survives this year should have enough lessons to take and be able to take precautions for the upcoming year.
Make yourself happy and don't wait for people to do that for you.
I have learned to be always happy and this is simply because it keeps your heart pumping and your brain is always focused and every challenge that seems big turns not into a small challenge because the solutions to our problems live in us.
All you need is just to be stable and this can only happen when you are happy.
NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY UNLESS YOU MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY.
