THE PAIN WILL NOT LAST;
DON’T LET IT LEAVE A LASTING SCAR
I don’t know
what you are passing through right now. I don’t know what makes you cry in the
closet; that thing that you secretly wipe your tears off just to
avoid friends from noticing. I don’t know the burden in your heart that is too
heavy for you to carry.
One
thing I know is that the pain will not last forever. It is for a while; it is for a
short moment. The tears will no longer be there. The burden will disappear.
Pain is a visitor. It has no dwelling place in human’s life. It comes to teach
you a
lesson. If you win, you grow better, but it destroys and damages if you give it chance to. There is more to this popular saying that: “tough time never last, but tough people do”.
lesson. If you win, you grow better, but it destroys and damages if you give it chance to. There is more to this popular saying that: “tough time never last, but tough people do”.
Pain is
always the accomplice of tough time. It will only come visiting, but your
response to it matters a lot. It is no good if a visitor come to win you in
your abode. That is the reason why you need to rise and subdue any causative of
pain in your life. If you refuse to fight what led to it, the marks or scars it
leaves will never heal up on time.
I would like
to share my own personal life experience with you. I was 17 years old then.
While doing my Senior School Certificate Examination, SSCE, (popularly known as
WAEC), there was a serious chaos and anarchy in my family, and everything was
against me. Something led to something that ultimately led to me being disowned
in the house. I was to have a Chemistry examination the day after the night I
was disowned. I had not revised the subject during the day and it was raining
heavily in the night. I had to move to the neighboring uncompleted building
that night to prepare.
I tried all
my best to wipe away the tears, subdued the pain and managed to focus on
revising the books for the exam the next day. I wouldn’t deceive you, it wasn’t
easy for me but I plucked up the courage and kept on reading. I knew then that whether
I like it or not, I needed to pass the exams, because at the end nobody would
listen to my excuse; the reason why I failed the exam will never be justifiable. I made a good result,
although average (not up to what I would have gotten on a normal circumstance).
I knew the problem I was facing wouldn’t last long, and I tried my best to make
sure that the scar it left in my life was minimal. Is hope alive?
Had it been
I wallowed in my pain and sorrow, and I refused to read then, the wound the
problem would have caused might have been a very lasting one. Probably after
overcoming the problem I would still be struggling with a bad result, and eventually would have led to me writing exams over again.
One thing
you need to know is that “you can never have an excuse for failure in life;
nobody is ready to listen to your cock and bull story, and beside you don’t even
have gut to tell people”. From my story, if after many years, I was still writing
exams over again, would I have any reason to tell people the reason why I
failed my first exams? Will people listen to me at all? These are the same questions
I want you to ask yourself? No excuse for failure in life!
So, my dear
friend, don’t allow your present unpalatable difficult situations stop you from
doing what should be done at the right time. I understand there are bad
situations that can be overwhelming and really devastating, but I beseech you
today to keep moving with endurance. Don’t let it leave a future regret and
pain in your life. Pluck up your courage and subdue the pain. I may not know
the intensity of the pain you are passing through right now, but one thing I am
100% sure of is that the pain will never last. It is for a short moment. Commit
it to God, be optimistic and be hopeful. Is hope alive?
No condition
is permanent in life. So no pain will remain forever. What matters most is how you manage everything around you during the
devastating period of pain. This especially involves necessary things in
your life THAT MUST BE DONE during
the hard times.
