Life: WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY?

He woke up one morning just to discover he's been rusticated. What for? He thought it was a dream but it was actually a reality. He attended the best school in his life. He got all or whatever he wanted without stress, all at his comfort zone.

Does that mean his life is useless? Are you trying to tell me that his four and half years are wasted effort? (Hmmm.  After a whole lot of project, defense, group works, stress and effort).  Does that mean all the billions of naira per session are useless? Does that mean levels aren't the same anymore?

  Wait! What about his 5.00 CPGA? What about his post in the fellowship (ah! VP for that matter. Ka maa ri)?  What about all those who looked up to him for mentorship? What about is personality? What would he tell his parent? What is his age, that he is been rusticated (age 30. Hmm, coming back for another 4 or 5 years)? What about his fiancée?

How will he break the news to his parent? How would he work freely in the midst of people? How will he behave when alone? How will he behave when he sees his mates? How will his character be after all this experience? What will people say about him? This where the thought running through his mind. 

All because, he agreed to keep some parcel for his friend and he was caught because the parcel was hard drug. His friend denied him straight away. (Ki Olorun maa je ki a se oore da ran). The question WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY?  Is what brings us to the topic LIFE. 

Yes. What will people say? Are you living your life for people? Is not that you shouldn't consider people but there are some aspect in life which we ought not to think about what people will say or are saying.

Relating the story to our life, some of us will just find ourselves in a situation we know not a single bit of or not even heard of. Then we start saying what will people say? Is it what will people say or what is God saying? That's when you don't have peace of mind any longer then fear begins to come in, putting a lot of things at stake.

At that moment what people will say is not your business. You knowing that the situation at hand didn’t start from you or end with you or you been in between is enough to make your life happy. Then what people will say will turn to something you can't even imagine.

You been in that state is just a test of time. That moment is what defines you. Situations like that are what bring out the real you in you. They are what makes people know your standard.

How will it be in such situation where people around you are thinking or wanting you to be down or sad but you are happy simply because you know you have what it takes to calm down that situation? How will it be if instead of you thinking of what will people say you are looking up to God and saying, God what are you  saying or what did you want to say? 

Take charge of your life and live your life like someone who has control over it. Even in times where you think you can't take control always remember you gat God as your pillar and he's always there for you. Start thinking of what God will say or is saying and not what people will or are saying.
