'SIR, I HAVE NO MAN' VS 'WHY SIT WE HERE TILL WE DIE?'

 


SIR, I HAVE NO MAN' VS 'WHY SIT WE HERE TILL WE DIE?

Written By Felix Olokede

Two men were going through turbulent periods in different seasons of their lives. One said 'Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool' and the other asked 'Why sit we till we die?' … A problem with two different perspectives. One allowed reality to happen to him, the other happened to reality.


Men who are after the order of 'Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool' sees nothing wrong in playing the blame game and shifting the cause of their predicament to a circumstance, an environment or someone. They would rather affirm to themselves that the presence of challenges is not their fault instead of delving into how the challenge came into existence and devising a way out of it by wisdom.


While the people after the order of 'Why sit we here till we die?' are interested in seeing problems and challenges solely from the viewpoint of accepting responsibility. The product of this decision can be seen in their boldness to take steps sponsored by faith.


An excuse is a false support system. It is a currency that failures trade with. Moreover, I've discovered that the energy required to take responsibility for everything that happens to you is the same energy required for creating excuses. So why not channel the energy meant for blaming a failed system into becoming more responsible and taking bold leaps of faith? …


Remember, there's no sitting on the fence. You're either making excuses or you're making your life count.
