I Lost

-


I lost,
Many times that is,
Sometimes, it feels like losing is the only thing I'm good at,
Like failing is just innate for me,
But, just as I begin to question my existence, and who I really am, and why I've got to lose and fail so much, I realize that I have won many times as much as I have failed.
in fact, I have won more times than I have lost.
I realised that failing is not peculiar to me,
I am not called to the losing game.

I have won in little things as much as in the big things.
I win with every breath I take.
I win with the dawn of each day that I open my eyes to.
I win with the love I AM has shown me.

You know, I remember a rhyme we used to sing in nursery school,
"I am a winner
Not a looser
I am the head
And not the tail"

They say a winner is a loser who tried just one more time, No!
I'll do you one better. I dare to say that
"A winner is that person, who came to the realization of who he truly is."
So, a loser is not who I am.
Failure is not my insignia.
I realised that failure is a lie the world tells me to keep me down, to keep me from trying, and to keep me from actualising my full potential, from becoming who I'm really meant to be.

So, it really doesn't matter how many times I lose, 
Or how many times I seem to fail,
I rise again and I win,
Just like the words of the Bible,
"...for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again..."- Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)

Not that I'd make a deliberate and conscious effort to failing
Rather, I trust in the grace of the one who has made me to help me as I put in my very best to win, because,

A winner is who I am,
And winning is what I do best.

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

Hello there, It's a beautiful week and we are here again to share on something very important, as it concerns just about everyone. It's an affirmation, a word of conviction and confidence and resolve. You are more than enough! Often times, we are faced with situations that make us doubt the ability we have in ourselves to succeed or accomplish whatever it is that is set before us. For some people, it is the memory of past failures, for some others, it is the memory of previous negative experiences, and for some others it is the fear of the unknown and of failing. Also some people are relegated to the zone of impossibility and irrelevance based on what they hear people say about them and what they think/know people to think of them. However, if everyone would understand the power of the mind and harness it, we would really see that there is really nothing impossible to those that believe, just like the bible also says. I once heard someone say that the energy g...

HOPE - THE BEACON OF SURVIVAL

Hey there! Let's talk about hope. Are you at your lowest and it seems like you're never going to come out of that situation? Do you feel like you're in a pit and it feels like you're never going to see the sunshine again? I bet Joseph must have felt the same way when his brothers threw him into the pit, he must have felt like it was the end like it was over for him.  In life, there would always be challenges out to test you to the breaking point, but the reality is that tough season seasons don't last, only tough people do and God will never test you beyong your capacity. One other thing worthy of note is the fact that people who have the greatest destinies encounter the greatest challenges. Now where does hope come into play in the many seemingly hopeless situation may people go through, including someone who might be reading this article? Let me categorically point out that hope does not deny the fact that the challenge exists, hope is not a wo...

VISION! PANAECIA FOR NATION BUILDING

Where do we go from here? This is a fundamental question every well-meaning Nigerian would ask when faced with a prevailing reality.  It is needful to mention from outset that the purport for this article is not set to undermine any political office, personality or party. Neither is it to recount the menace that permeates the socio-political setting of our dear nation- Nigeria. This however is not a gloss over them or a pretence as though they never existed. But it is important to reiterate that the aim of this write up is not to focus on our “pastful” errors, but in little capacity proffer answer to the question “Where do we go from here?”        Notable is the agreeable fact that there wouldn’t have been a today if yesterday never came and had to go. So would tomorrow never come until today is done with and over, and similarly is the adoption of the truism that the decisions of yesterday are ultimately responsible for our state of today.  Niger...
