DO YOU WANT THE RYTHM OF LIFE TO WORK IN YOUR FAVOUR?

I was about 10 years old when a friend tried to teach me how to ride a bicycle.

From the excitement of watching my friends and other young kids in the neighbourhood ride their bicycles to the thrill of looking cool, I couldn't wait.I had visualised that day for months! 

I was grinning from ear to ear.

I was asked to settle on the bike, place both feet on the pedals, look straight ahead and pedal away!It was all fun until I started to wobble, falter and fall. 

My excitement started dwindling when it became apparent it was no easy feat.The toughest part was being told to look forward whilst peddling the bicycle. "Look straight, stop looking at the pedal else you will fall", he yelled severally. It looked impossible! It was very hard!

No, I didn't get it the first time. It took me lots of practice to eventually get it right, and that was because I never gave up.

Why I am sharing this with you?

The best things in life will require you to keep your gaze ahead! There are some things you will never attain in life without focus!

Too many of us are distracted by too many things, yet we want the rhythm of life to work in our favour; it's impossible.

Road accidents are often caused by distractions! It's dangerous to keep looking around or looking back while you drive.

Your effectiveness is hinged on your ability to identify and focus on your life's mission.

Always remember, what others are doing, and what they think about you are none of your business.

Keep your gaze straight. Stay focus and steady! Keep working hard, on yourself, and on your craft. You will get there in the end.

I believe in you.
