When it comes to getting advice from people, I'm very far off because I'm yet to be found among the people that do sit down to listen to elders with the "what I see while sitting down..." sermon or listening to motivational teachings outside the religious sermons. Yeah, the only time my heart settles to listen to advice is during church sermons, which I consider a general thing.
In my house, the only time we receive 'advice-like' one on one talk is when we have committed a crime 🤧.
That not withstanding, there's a friend I always run to talk to whenever with whenever I'm in a tight situation, and he always comes through with the way forward. We are of the same age, with him being a year older than me, and I hold him in high esteem.
There was a time I ran to him to just pour out my heart on what I was going through because things were not working. I had to stop talking when I realized that he's somehow passing through the challenges of life too because he's not financially settled as well.
"Bro, I know you're passing through the same thing, but how are you meeting up and still refusing not to give up on your faith?" I asked him.
"My brother, the only thing is to KEEP PUSHING. Things will be fine because we are not going to remain like this forever. Haven't you seen Mr. Proper, who after all his struggles, got decorated with everything. We just have to keep pushing because we don't know when the breakthrough would meet us."
He didn't just stop there; he went further to mention names of people who were once in our situation but got their lives changed within some years of continuous pushing.
As for Mr. Prosper, he was connected to the person who ushered him to his breakthrough when he was working on a construction site, molding blocks, because that's what he does.
My friend also backed up his words with Gal 9:6; Do not be weary in well doing, because in due season you shall reap if you don't faint.
Those words were all I needed to hear at that particular time because I was almost losing it. Also, those words have been helping me do my things and aim for the glory that's on the way.
Having the assurance that things will get better someday as long as I don't relent has been boosting my pushing morale. This has helped me to block the spirit of depression.
Everything will get better one day, but we mustn't fold our hands and wait for better days.
Oftentimes, the miracle we are waiting for comes to meet us through the things we are doing. Nowadays, miracles of people getting money while sleeping all through the day are rare... miracles now come via what you're doing.
Thank God for this era where one can earn a living through the various channels available online. If you're an online hustler, keep doing it because you don't know when will be the breakthrough day and how it'll happen... God could touch a whale to tip you $7,000.🥱
