EVERYTHING GOOD WILL COME.......

I sat in the bus, stuck in the usual lagos traffic wondering what time i'll get home, seeing it was almost mid night and the roads just wont clear. Aarrrrghhhh! words cant begin to express how frustrated i am at this point, knowing fully well that my day will once again begin at 4 am the next morning. I cried silently, wondering when and how things will get any better and if my life could be any worse than it is. This is certainly not the kind of life i looked forward to when i came back to naija. i had great plans of being successful in a very short time.

I had dreams man! Dreams of becoming a successful fashion guru. i constantly reminded myself that my country has a lot to offer in terms of achieving my dreams, people here relate more with cloth making than in the western world where its only the gbo gbo bigs boys and girls who go to very big designers to make them those pieces they wear to their events. Naija on the other hand, has a very lucrative market as there is always an aso-ebi event to attend. I wasn't thinking mega bucks for starters but i knew i had to start from somewhere. I had to fire my self up from the inside because no one else can possibly believe in me more than me.


Reality begins to set in as my plans seem to be going the opposite direction. I become so downcast that i soon begin to feel like the world's biggest looser. I shy away from social events and my friends all in a bid to avoid those questions that seemed to put the world on my shoulders. I feel like a worthless piece of trash, an under achiever, a failure, one who God didn't like. People often said i was sharp but i wondered why it wasn't taking me to the banks grinning from ear to ear? My love life wasn't left out. I became emotionally needy as though i was seeking approval from my partner. kai!


God must have looked at me and shook his head saying this him pikin no dey try. If only she knows how precious she is to me, she will be happy all the time, if only she knows the plans i have for her. I cried over every little thing until i totally gave up on everything. I lived each day as it came, i didn't care anymore.

By a stroke of fate, i stumbled on a program titled THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. I discovered how the power of the mind attracts the very experiences we have in our lives. It changed me completely and i began to view life differently and before long, i began to attract the very things i wished for. I have a job now ;-) It may not be exactly what i want but i know it is taking me somewhere. When i wasn't even looking, i met and fell in love with the nicest guy i ever came across. Every day i spend with him, i feel as though i only just met him. i look at him and i know there is a God somewhere.

Without wanting to sound to spiritual (not that i'm ashamed of my faith) I want to encourage someone reading this. Please don't loose faith in the one who said he is coming back soon. Everyone has a definition of what success means to them. For some, it is owning great riches to others it might be something else. For me, success is knowing that i have all the happiness and health i need and knowing that i can be a solution to someone's problem. When did Karina become a preacher? lolz! Our race in life might not be the same, but ultimately, we will all answer the spiritual call from our creator.

Smile! your life has only just began and it can only get better! EVERYTHING GOOD WILL SURELY COME.......
