Insomic
I cannot sleep.
It is now 2 in the morning, and i am awake after a mere three hours of sleep. I cannot explain it.
Things have been going on. Not really sure how to vocalise them, so I shall not. I cannot admit that it was easy, neither can I say it was entirely a shock. Sometimes, I just wished life was easier.
I think life is hard. Life is hard because that is what it makes it worth living. We come into contact with situations that force us to make tough choices. We come into maturity by making hard choices. We come into character by bearing the consequences of our choices. We come into destiny by choosing the appropriate path.
Many situations force us to make tough choices. When we are younger, the tough choices include following our friends, obeying our parents, listening to elders. Doing our homework or watching tv. Going out with friends or staying at home. Choices that involve sacrifice, and the sacrifice is known as OPPORTUNITY COST. But when we grow up, the choices become harder. The opportunity cost rises. We make harder decisions. To work here or there. To stay in a relationship or to get out. To wait or not to wait. To stay a believer or to walk away. To buy this or that.
We come into maturity by making hard choices. Yet it is those very same hard choices that marks our maturity. When we were young, such choices trained us for a lifetime of life. When we are old enough and have to make tough decisions, it is those decisions that mature us. We learn to assess situations and develop decision making skills. We learn to count the cost and walk that path. We learn to be grown up to make the decisions ourselves. Maturity is not an incident; it is a journey.
We come into character by bearing the consequences of our choices. The choices we make have consequences. There are always consequences and repercussions. But our character is formed through hardship. When we encounter hardship as a result of a decision, do we back down immediately? If we choose to teach and hardship comes, do we back out immediately? If we find ourselves in a JC that we do not like, do we whine and complain? If we are in a relationship that has problems, do we sort things out? Character like maturity is forged over time. No one has character; it is carved out. A mature character makes hards choices and sticks to them. True, there are times when we need to change, but that is when information that comes in greatly differs from what we had at the time of decision making.
We come into destiny by choosing the appropriate path. A mature character at the end of the day is our destiny. God did not make us for anything else. But a man or woman in His image. One that has maturity and one that has character. Identity. There may be no I in team, but there is Me. Identity.
Sometimes we will make decisions on impulse. Nearly all the time we make decisions with a lack of information. But this is key. Choices will have to be made. The issue is not so much whether we've made the right choice all the time, but more that have we put in effort to make the choices right?
