Weep Not, No Cause for Alarm

By Taiwo Akinola

Why are you downcast? Why are you grieving? Why the sigh? Why the worry?  Why the tears?  Why is everything getting into you so easily?

Is it the house rent, children’s tuition fees, rising debt profile, health challenge, marital breakdown, collapsed business, loss of job or even the unimaginable problem so heavy on your mind to pour to anyone?

See, whatever situation you may find yourself, it is not peculiar to you and you are not alone. Do you know some people have also climbed higher mountains and returned rejoicing?

Sometimes, the challenges, though overwhelming may be bringing out in you a better you, only if you can look deeper.

You may cry all your eyes out, but, know this, ‘Every problem is temporary and the solution might just be at your door’.

Therefore, move on, just as an old common saying, ‘Keep on keeping on’. Never see yourself facing challenges in life alone, others do, but our dispositions to situations are just different.

That unpalatable situation can make you act irrationally while you keep asking yourself, ‘Why am I acting this way? It happens to some other people too, many whom you may have met on your way but except you look keenly, you might not know such people are heavily burdened.

You don’t have to stay in that shape that you are in. Glad to tell you the potter wants to bring you back together again, and when He steps in everything will be resolved.

Whenever a challenge comes your way, don’t dwell on it, rather think about proffering solution to such problem.

**Develop the courage to face it.

**Wear off your worries, don’t let them wear you out.

**Try and stay happy realizing that whatever gets your joy has succeeded in getting you.

**Never give chance to self pity.

**Tears may flow but don’t let it linger.

**Know that, whatever the situation, it has an expiry date.

Weep not, you are more than that problem!.
