When moving forward, do you consider those left behind?

When asked 'who wants to be successful in life' in any gathering of people despite their ages, everyone raises their hands. (or I hope everyone does).
Everyone wants to be successful.
Drake sef sing am: 'I just wanna be successful'.
Just like the popular saying: 'the top is very lonely' because only few people can get there. For example in a bank; there are so many front desk officers and only one chairman (or woman *wink*)

I have undergone series of interviews for different positions, most times its exhilarating when you get a call back, but imagine those who didn't get. I'm not saying its your fault that they weren't called back, its part of life sef: win some, loose some. But just take a few seconds to think of how those who didn't get called back feel, put yourselves in their shoes.

What brought about this thought you might ask?. A couple of persons and I are waiting to be assigned at work, some people in our batch have been assigned, while some couldn't continue the journey. I was reading the group chat recently and every other person who had been assigned had some sort of fun or horrible experience to talk about work. Slowly and surely those who haven't gotten any deployment would begin to feel left out of the conversation.
Its like when you are friends with someone, maybe they are in your class or organization or church and then for some reason you move on. For instance, you move to the next class and the friend has to repeat. Initially you both try to work out your friendship, like I said earlier; slowly and surely, you begin to make new friends, and then start having awkward conversations before you both drift apart.

Yeah I am guilty of this behavior, although there are some friends that become dead weights which you eventually have to drop, but there are some whom are of value and importance.
I have this friend, she usually says 'I don't discard people oh, you can never know who you might need in the future'.  I see sense in her philosophy and I try very hard to see the value in everyone I come across.

Today I want you to think of all the people you've left behind whenever you proceed or move up the ladder.
Remember the cup bearer remembered Joseph when the king requested for a someone who can interpret dreams, yeah God must have reminded him, but I'm buttressing on the fact that he remembered someone he left behind..

With love,

The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...
