Your life a few years from now...

What would you say if I told you that you can know for sure where you will be or what your life will be like 2 or 3 yrs from now? You would laugh maybe, and call my bluff right?

However, I can almost guarantee you that there are things you are doing at this very moment that will tell you what your life will be like in a few years time. On the top of the list being your reaction to the inevitable adverse circumstances that confronts us every day.

Resilience to adversity, setbacks and daily disappointments is the exact measure of our faith. Be it faith in God or faith in ourselves. The true measure of our faith is how able are we to bounce back. It has been said that the issue is not how far you fall but how high you bounce. Truth is, circumstances do not make a man but only reveal him to himself. My point then is; if you can really scrutinise your ability to bounce back after any bad experience, you will know your life expectancy.

Still calling my bluff?...didn’t think so….

Ya, we gonna have setbacks all the time, we just need to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves clean and move on in faith. I know where my life will be a few years from now, because I'm aiming for the stars
