My state of Confusion

This is a true life thing!

 Life, they say is best lived in comfort, that's where no pain or worry is the order of the day.


Yet people like me most times live life in a state that's rather described than said. This state is


called "Confusion".

I have been pondering while all of a sudden things took a U-turn in me, as in things have not


being going the way I planned and wished they would go because the things which I love and


love doing most have become the ones that hunt me now the more and those things which I


totally dislike and hate have suddenly turned out to be my friend and as such living me as a


man who seems to be without focus. And the only question that comes to my confused mind


is Why? why? why?


    Nevertheless, as events that exposes a confused mind keeps unfolding daily in me


governed with the ability to now be sleeping every now and then and whiling away my 


precious time in things that are not too and will never be profitable to me, I come to realize 


that within my inner man lies the strength to stop whatsoever negatives that has left me in my


present state; yet as I struggle in trying to get out of this state, I suddenly find myself going


down the path which I have not chosen to tread, that part where when the story of your life is


told, it brings nothing but pains to the ears of whoever would hear such messed up stories.


Life is this you for me?


    In this state where every single thing has become a nightmare to me, I have every course to


ask certain questions which if possible I might not get to find the answer all through life and


as such I become so dumb that these words are rather kept in the mind than said out. More so,


Life most times I have been made to understand through life touching experiences that most


times life won't be so favorable.


   As such, all these have left me a man filled with several thoughts;  like "'what exactly in life


brings about certain situations that will destabilize us up to the extent that  we live life in total


confusion and a constant state of pondering on how best to manage life and get out of the


unfavorable state of confusion.


   Hence as I get more lost and lost in this state, I have come to realize that


- I can be confused but not dismayed.


- I can be confused but not destroyed,


- I can be confused but not weak and tired.


- I can be confused but that at the right time my confused mind will find rest.


- I can be confused but my heart and eyes are all fixed on the price instead of the pains.


- That while this state of confusion lasts, It will definitely leave me a stronger person.


   However, in all this knowing which I will rather call conviction; I find out that the more


convinced I am about how I am not dismayed, destroyed, not tired and weak etc  that it


becomes obvious that I am drowning constantly and so fast in a way that my inner mind


keeps telling me that help from man would be a solid waste of time because what man cannot


see, feel, perceive and taste he sure cannot find a lasting solution that will once again bring


joy and hope of a strong me living life under the influence of the conviction that life has


offered me every best and perfect gift which I must tap with utmost carefulness backed up


with the zeal of using them in the most favorable way so as to do exploits in life which used


to be my utmost dream.


   In essence of this realization, my inner man tells me that the sole answer to my confusion


lies in a place where my present state have all been paid for. Yes! I exclaimed as my inner


man gave me this solution because with it came a realized feeling that once again I will


spring forth out of everything that left me in my present state where everything seems to be \


nothing but  impossible to me. Suddenly, as this solution came I found myself sober because \


it came with the very realization that all I have wanted was to be the captain of my life by


trying at all cost in controlling every single thing that has been and will be happening in me


and within me and this in turn left me in my present state.


  Believe me, at this moment I realized I had a book some where in a corner of my room titled

 "The touch of excellence". This book has always been my guide because it has helped to


build me up and still will help in building me up because of its richness. Then as I realized


this I started to flip through the pages and suddenly this unforeseen state started to ease out


like a cloudy weather given way for a bright one. Thanks to The General Overseer of  


Salvation Ministries who at his own busy schedule still made out time to write such a rich


book that has and will help millions of people who at one point or the other will find


themselves in ugly situations of life.  


   Finally, as I ended reading this book, I came to realize that most times in life we use our

mouth and our thoughts in creating ourselves into a place  called "the state of confusion" in

life.
  
 Conclusively, to all those out there who have found themselves or will find themselves in


this shoe which I once found myself; I say to you be strong and never lose hope and faith on


yourself and on whoever you believe in but I suggest its best you believe on the supreme God


and more so try as much as possible as you can to stay positive at mind always no matter how


confused you will get. Furthermore, try as much as you can to confide in men and women


who are worthy of your trust and who in return would give you advice that can last you for a


life time..


   Once again stay put as I dive out of my present state of confusion into the realm where my


today and yesterday are nothing but lessons that has made me stronger and stronger for the


fierce battle that's ahead of me.
