Your Time Will Come

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

There is time for everything. Do not get frustrated. Pay attention to what you are doing. Keep doing what you are doing, no matter how hard. If you do not give up on yourself, if you do not give up on your dreams, your time will come.

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘A definite span of time has been appointed for all of nature’s happenings. Nothing can come into being or frutify before that appointed time.’

‘No matter what is going on in your life, if you do not say no to yourself, if you do not say no to your dreams, if you just keep doing, your time will come.

If you don’t listen to doubters, if you don’t listen to naysayers, if you ignore the noise, if you keep working, if you keep loving your work, your appointed time will come.

Do not give up. Do not say, ‘I can’t do this. This is too hard for me. It is not for me.’ Instead, focus all your energy, all your attention, and all your time on what is possible.

When you focus on what is possible, things become easier to deal with.

Before I leave you, when things are tough, remember why you are doing it.

"Climb unto the topmost bights, 
win yourself an honored name, 
but respect another's rights,
raise the weak and help the lame;
strength of muscle or of mind 
gives no right to be unkind."- Edgar Albert Guest

It doesn't matter where you are,
where you want to go,
to get there, to stay there, you must raise other people up.

Raise others. Do not forget the weak.
You can't promote yourself without promoting yourself.

To get to where you want to go, you must not leave anybody behind.
You are not a success if your people are not doing well.
As a leader, your job is not to leave people behind.
It is to lift them up. People don't like to be stuck.
They want to grow. If you can lift then up, 
if you can give then what they want and need, you are their God.
And they will never forget you.
