The Right Time to start is Now!
I have had scenerioes where I wanted to do somethings, take a step, say a word, take an action but ended up procrastinating and the reward of procrastination as you know is never funny. Then I discovered that I was not the only one practicing this mischievous act. I even discovered that some people kept practicing this destiny killer down to their diying bed. I am only happy that I have learnt to let go of this mischief hence the reason for this essay.
Most people ended up as failures not because there had no destiny or a mapped out strategy to that destiny but that they kept on waiting for an illusionary time where all things will be very favourable and conducive to start. Of cause the place of waiting can never be downsided but that's not a license for anyone not to fulfil their God given destiny. I have discovered that most people who claim to be waiting are only delaying just because of the fear of failure. Some modify that fear by saying they are yet to get the resources they need to start that business,vision,relationship and what have you. Its funny that some men will never get married because they are waiting for that time when their bank account is as fat as an elephant to settle down. I am not in any way saying that you should run into marriage without some sought of income outlets but its very crucial to decide never to let money be a hinderance to your fulfilling purpose.
Why do people fail to start?
Some valid reasons responsible for the delays in destiny fulfilment includes:
1. The unwillingness to start small. Every body wants to be recognized for mega exploits, record breaking activities amongst so many other intriguing ventures hence are never humble enough to remember that Rome was not built in one day. Look even Jesus said that you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem first then Judea, then Samaria and to the ends of the world. Life is in stages thus must be handled per stage. Since you are so desperate to start from the top please tell me where will you end? Please know that every dream and vision has a foundation so locate your foundation and start from there.
2. Unwillingness to take calculated risk. Most failures in life are risk averters. They are so careful with every thing that carefully become a hindrance to their destiny. You can't fulfil destiny if you are not a risk taker. Someone once said life itself is a risk. All you need do is to just be careful enough to take calculated risk but even at that be able to make what you believe come to pass. Risk averters are in the same school of thought with people who lack faith.
3. Fear of failure. This is the most prominent of them all. The fear of being ridiculed by friends and family in events of probably a fall has being one of the greatest reason behind some peoples failure to fulfil destiny. A fall as a wise man will say is never considered as failure until you fail to rise or find someone to blame for your fall. Learning to maximize your fear for failure by converting it into a hate for failure will inspire you into working very hard to keep it far from you. But should it occur, your hatred for it (not fear) will spour you to locate good and sound ways out of the failure faster.
4.wrong association. The factor called wrong association is one of the greatest reasons why people fail to start. Destruction is an inevitable event for a man whose association is with the class of relationship categorised as the fools (Proverb 13:20). The influence exerted by association greatly affects your starting or never starting. Man is a product of association hence must be diligent enough to ensure that each relationship initiated is for the good of the parties involved and not just a single individual.
5.Lack of knowledge. Ignorance in this context is your inability to perceive,understand or discern what to do with and in a situation at a particular time. Most people have not started a business, a relationship, a family, a job or what have you because they feel they don't know how or actually don't know how. The cure to this is studying which seems to have become an heculian task to so many people today. Paul speaking Timothy says, "study to show thyself approved a workman that needed not to be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth." Ignorance will keep you stagnated forever until you have decided to learn. Wake up!
6. Distance from God. "Its foolishness not to follow the man who knows the way to where you want to go but know not the way." He regulates time hence knows not just the time for what but also knows the "how". Still speaking as Jesus, he says I am the way the truth and the life. How will you ever start when you have chosen to be far from the grand author. He is the only one who can teach you the way to go and engrace you to go. Its more than just a statement but to start, succeed and end well, you need Jesus.
The reasons outlined above are some of the key reasons responsible for self inflicted delays in fulfilling destiny. Which are you exhibiting, get it done with now cause time isn't waiting for you. To do that you must;
1. Be willing to start
2. Give your life to Christ genuinely and permit him to lead you through his spirit.
3. Deal with your fears
4. Take caculative steps
5. Be willing to try again and again. Its better you try and fall than never to try at all. That's not to say you should fail learn to learn from your mistakes. God bless you.

HEI ITS REALLY EXPENSIVE TO DO DRUGS
Almost if not everybody desires to be rich,successful and happy so to be candid, I wonder why people do drugs like cocain, marijuana, heroin and the likes knowing quite well that drugs can't offer any of these three. Research shows that over 23 million Americans are addicts and the 2015 World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimated that a total of 246 million people -slightly over 5 per cent of those aged 15 to 64 years worldwide used illicit drugs. The statistic is really alarming and calls for an urgent attention. Probably this people had no knolwdege of the negative effects of drug abuse or they choose not to considered the effects. I shall be outlining seven reasons why you shouldn't do drugs perhaps they could be of help to you or someone you know.
1. It rather multiplies instead of Solving Problems. Most times people venture into drug abuse with the mindset that it helps them solve or forget their problems and issues like stress from work, family or marital issues, confidence issues just to mention a few. But as time goes on it becomes glaring that they are "not eating their cake and they are not having it". The problems seat they waiting for them to be restored to their normal state.unfortunately at this stage they have the problem to face probably bigger than it was, and they have the drug abuse issues to battle with. You can't be high on drugs 24.7 so they will always be a time for you to suffer the emotional and physical trauma you were trying to avoid wrongly. Stop being a coward and face your problems squarely instead of trying to stick to what will only mask them for a while.
2.It Kills "You" and all you stand for. Probably you should be familiar with this statement that "the best person you can ever be is you"? Drugs deceives you into behaving and acting like the person you are not. It gives you a false identity of yourself and makes your real identity look bad unfit whereas we said the best person you can be is you. Drugs blocks your reasoning capacity and just like cataracts it impares you mental vision. So in simple words drugs kills the real you and offers a temporary lie as a life.
3 Drugs weakens you economically. We could say that whatever expenditure that does not add to your finance is probably kiliing your economic life. Drugs doesn't probably, it actually weakens and kills your economic growth. Most of the drugs taken by addicts are alarmingly expensive yet they are not careful enough to observe the continuous holes made by the the purchase of drugs on their savings and income. Why not save your money for better investments, drugs are not going to help you economically.
4 It kills your relationships. Most drug addicts find it difficult to associate and relate well with people. This is because they either feel unfit or the people around them are too scared to relate with them. So in other words it makes people unwittingly reserved. Life is really boring without friends and families to associate with and that's what drugs achieve (relationship killer).You need people so stop sending them away.
5.It attacks your Health. This is one of the most painful part of doing drugs. After a long time of taking drugs, your immune system becomes weaker thus making you more susceptible to frequent illness. Health is wealth don't risk it on drugs.
6.Its a crime that often leads to other crimes. The fact is that, aside from few places like Washington amongst others its illegal to be in possession of drugs. This illegality is why people are arrested when found to be having drugs in their possession. Aside from that drug addicts are prone to committing other crimes like rape,rubbery, and thuggery. This they do most times as a result of the influence of drugs.
7. Its a sin . The Bible stated clearly that he who knows what to do(good) but refuses to do it, to such a person its a sin. Having read all the other reasons stated earlier you need not be told that drug abuse and addiction is not good. Itd time you quit doing drugs cause its so not good for you
