Let Thy Pain Drive Thee



Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Something becomes a necessity when its presence is required; its absence might also cause a little amount of pain. So, when people begin to find alternatives to reducing these pain, invention sprung up. So, I say, “let thy pain direct thee”.
Life has never been a
bed of roses and it will never be as long as humanity exist. Therefore, we all should expect pain in different levels. Sometimes the pain might be more. Other times, it might be less. But the fact remains that we will all experience pain in different aspect of our lives.
But more importantly is the ability to learn from every pain we suffer or endure. Over the years, I realized that every good thing is wrapped in the arms of pain.

Therefore, to claim a good thing, one has to overpower pain to achieve this goodness. Globally, economic and financial reports over decades have shown that inflation, depreciation and losses are consistent with human lives. In fact, the so called hard currencies over these decades have experienced deterioration and losses. For instance, the value of the US dollar in 1969 can never be compared to its value in 2019. Such deterioration is inevitable as even the lesser currencies like the Nigerian Naira tend to experience greater devaluation. In a nut shell, life can never get better. Therefore, in all thy pains, be directed to see the good side of it.

Consistent focusing on pain negatively can only destabilize and traumatize an individual. The Holy Bible warns us about dwelling on pains and advises that we cast all our cares/burdens/pains on God.
I have grew in and through pains. I am what I am today because of the pains I had experienced. I will not fail to tell you that I am confident of today because of my pains of yesterday. Tomorrow does not guarantee to be painless either, but yesterday’s pain has prepared me for tomorrow.

In every pain lies an opportunity to learn and become better. Failing an exam for instance, should propel you to know that course better. Being brought up from a broken home should propel you to have a lovely family. Seeing your dad beat and maltreat your mother should drive you to cherish your wife. Being fired from your job should drive you to become an entrepreneur. Being betrayed by a lover should drive you to love yourself better. Marrying late should drive you to cherish your spouse maturely.

Until you stop seeing pain as a bane, you may never see what God wants you to learn. The pain of sickness should drive you to appreciate good health. Every pain has a lesson; Learn it. Every pain has a force; allow it to drive you.

Finally, as I wrap up this article, remember that every invention you enjoy today was created because, absence of it caused an amount of pain. This pain drove and inspired men to invent. From cars to the airplanes to the computers to the internet. Therefore, I say, “Let thy pain drive thee!

Fulfilling Christmas?

T oday is December 25 th , the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day. The world as we know enjoy celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends all is well just to have a full grasp of the day. Yes. All is well but is all really well? On a day like this, I spend more time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No! Life is all abo...
