A delay in your plans is like the good Lord is saying to you, " I want to see how much you want this; how hard you are willing to work for it."
We have all wished - at one time or another - for things to go our way every time. We assumed that this way we would be happier in life.
But such predictability in life would not be a good thing. It would deny us an opportunity to solve problems, a solving that makes us grow as human beings.
As a species we have a brain that gives us thinking capacity. A lack of a platform to use this feature of our brains would make us no different from animals, which live by instict.
A lack of difficulties in our lives would also mean that we cannot exercise patience( a virtue) when
when it comes to our dreams.
A delay is exactly what it is. It does not mean that your wish/dream will not happen. It may take time, yes. But eventually it will happen. PROVIDED YOU DO NOT GIVE UP.
And so it was with this Absa talk. For very valid reasons it was postponed twice. On the second occasion it was rescheduled when I was in the branch already, all dressed up and ready to go.
But on each occasion I was not disheartened. I kept my mind focused on what I wished to happen, which was for the talk to take place. And in the end it did indeed take place.
SOME THANK YOU'S
