Beware Of That Distraction

Distraction: a pitfall on the path to success

To attain success, in this generation, we need to give our full concentration on our goal. What’s your goal? Do you have a clearly defined goal? Distraction is one of success predators which come in different sizes and shapes. The modern day success predators include the following and not limited to our mobile phone applications, food, drinks, party-freak friends and family issues. I will like to share this amazing story with you... enjoy:

THE PREGNANT DEER - such a beautiful story!

In a forest, a pregnant Deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above and lightning starts a forest fire.

She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.

What can the pregnant Deer do? She is in labour!

What will happen? Will the Deer survive?

Will she give birth to a Fawn? Will the Fawn survive, or will everything be burnt by the forest fire? Will she perish to the hunters' arrow?

Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?

She is constrained by the fire on the one side and the flowing river on the other and boxed in by her natural predators. What will she do? She FOCUSED on giving birth to a new life.

The sequences of events that follow are:

- Lightning strikes blind the hunter and he releases the arrow which zips past the deer and strikes the hungry lion.

- It starts to rain heavily, and the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.

- The Deer gives birth to a healthy Fawn.

In our lives too, there are moments of choices when we are confronted on all sides with negative thoughts and possibilities.

Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome and overwhelm us.

Maybe we can learn from the strong and determined Deer.

The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to give birth to a baby. The rest was not in her hands and any actions or reactions that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.

Ask yourself, where is your focus? Where is your faith and hope?

In the midst of any storm, do you keep faith on your Creator always? He will never ever disappoint you. NEVER!

Remember, He will neither sleep nor slumber. Strong individuals know how to keep their lives in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to move on with courage.

Look, damn the consequence as far as what you intend to do is of good cause and your conscience will judge you right, go ahead and just do it. You will rise again. Be motivated. Cheers!
