Continuation of Part 2

When I was growing up I had an older sister who was good at doing business. From that tender age,she would think up idea of how to make money ,and in a few days implement the idea. And trust me she made the money. At the age of 10/15 years,she had somehow learnt to make ice cream and she sold the icecream and people bought. Then she set up lesson for younger children and collect money from their parents,the children in the compound/area then would beg to attend. I remember a child who wept profusely begging her mom to pay her lesson fee or the mom wouldn't go to market that day. The child's mom had to come beg my sister that she would pay the next day. She even employed me and a couple other people and payed us to teach with her. She made money to the point that my grandma sometime(because we grew up with her) would ask to borrow money from her. Wow!!!!there were a couple of other things she did too. She was good,she was good at doing business trust me when I say that.
That's my sister. And for a long time,I was lost in her identity,I wanted to be like her and get the applaused and praise that she was getting and get the results too. But that wasn't me. The harder I tried to be her,the harder I failed and felt miserable,and felt not good enough. Why? The answer is simple: Because I was living in another person's habitat.
Until I stopped comparing myself with my sister and accepted the fact that we all have our different habitat,I always felt not good enough. Until I accepted the fact that everythin/everyone God created has its natural habitat,I never lived in fulfillment.
So first of,let it become a living reality in your mind that God has put it in your and that you were created different from other,not until that happens,you would continue to struggle to be who you are.
Ask God today to help you find you natural habitat. Do yourself a favour and find that out. That's the only way to be productive...that's the only way to live happily ever after...

Finding your natural habitat Part 2

After knowing that you cannot function outside your natural habitat,the next question then becomes how do you know your where your natural habitat is.
The Creator put inside everyboby and everything he made their natural habitat when we were all been formed. Just like the fish doesn't wonder where it would be,so it should be with us. But the problem is we allow people and society tell us where we belong instead of allowing what the Creator put in us to decide were we belong. We spend our time and years being what others think we should be and not what Creator made us for.
So today sit down and ask yourself this : What is the one thing I'm good at doing. Look beyound your current job that gives a pay check,look beyound what you read in school and ask yourself what is the one thing I do effortlessly without even thinking sometimes. It may not be fancy or anything big,but when you sit down and answer that question,then you have found your Natural habitat.
Stick to it because that's where you can function and be really productive.

Love you all.

Finding your Natural Habitat Part 1

I have often watched how fishes struggle when they are out of water...I have often watched how they try hard to get back into water. They do that because its their natural habitat; that's where they function. Everything created by God has its natural habitat; a place where they function. They run to those places for comfort and safety. They feel alive just being there.

So also we are. Each of us have our own natural habitat where we function well. For some, its sitting behind a desk and typing away and carrying out instructions. For others, its holding a chalk and teaching and yet for some, its writing. Find out your natural habitat and live there. Don't try to live in some else's own. Remember, no matter how hard the fish tries, it can't live on land. So Anytime you feel pressured into doing something you are not, just remember the fish...

Have a lovely day.
