Hard work will beat talent if talent does not work hard

I'm talented but I choose to work hard, for hard work never killed anyone. People are always attracted to talent because it's a natural ability, but a person who work hard will always have more than a person relying on talent only . Hard work build endurance and stamina, it has memories that money can not buy, it teaches you to value the work of your hands.
Talent make you shine as an Ace, it puts you on a pedestal and be a people pleaser Jabu (Shuffle) Mahlangu, Scara Ngobese.
Success is 99% perspiration,  meaning even if you are talented,  you still need to work hard. Lionel Messie trains 5/6 days a week,  yet he is one of the greatest talents ever.  Ronaldo has a mini soccer field at his back yard where he continues to practise his free kicks and all,  once again he is talented. Do not let people's applause fool you,  keep on working hard for your goals.
Friends will keep you occupied during the day when they never sleep at night to make sure they are above you. Nobody wants to be second after you,  hence they make you think they not working,  so you can also relax while they cook your killer punch on the diaphragm, that will make you stop breathing for minute.

Rock Bottom

It's where the devil talks more about you and how you should get comfortable where you are, in that dark cell.
It is also where God is quietly in action, his hand pulling you out and leading you to the light where you belong.
God spoke light to be in Genesis1 and it was, when the devil was not even born, so if he is the prince of darkness, that means he was defeated before he was conceived,  how sad.
When you slip from the hand of God, it's a reminder that you not in charge or independent.
By slipping I mean only front wheels beyond white line and not crossing on red light, that's fatal.
By slipping I mean knocking the rubber pole with your pumper and not writing the car off the cliff.
Life, business, career, spouse, children, peers will always challenge the ground you standing on.
Rock bottom is a snippet of where the enemy wants you to spend the rest of your life, but God has a better place for you because you are not your own.
Have you notice how the sight of a bed at the furniture store or somebodies home reminds you of your own bed, and suddenly wish you were home so you can kick of your shoes and relax? Amazingly you don't jump to it because you know yours awaits at home, where you not limited by operating hours or duration of visitation.

A Tow Truck

When a bus is stuck on the sand, it can never pull itself out. Every time the driver try to drive out, it sinks even more. Some may try to put rocks and bricks on it's wheels, only to see them break and sink in the sand too. The rocks will buy you time that can not be recovered, they raise false hope of success.
It is in a situation like that where you need a tow truck.
A tow truck knows that it has to keep a distance from the place where the bus is stucked. It only need to connect the towing cable.
The tow truck has more power than the bus that it is pulling out.
The tow truck has to be standing on a solid ground.

That's what Jesus did in our lives, he come as a tow truck. He tow us from situations that he never led us into. He understand each and every time we try to help ourselves, we get deeper and deeper in our unpleasant situations. Jesus is always standing on a firm foundation, the word of God. He is the rock the builders rejected. Any house that is built on the rock has a stable foundation and structure.
Without Jesus we would still be stuck in our sins and bad habits...

Old road

Old road never leads to new places, let me say it louder; OLD ROADS NEVER LEADS TO NEW PLACES.
It leads to buildings you don't wanna see, bus stops you don't want to stop at again, windows you would not climb any more, veranda/ porch you don't want to seat on anymore, houses you don't want to be invited in anymore.

Old road leads to your old friends with your history. The first thing they greet you with is " Do you remember when you got drunk and roll the car, do you remember when you were dating so and so, remember when you stole candy from that shop"? some past you are not interested in.

They don't know your latest improvements in your new life and venture that are moving you forward.
Old roads leads the pain and confusion of being young and restless, which in most occasion was purely not wise.
When you wanted to be free but you could not afford it, you wanted to fly but your wings were still being developed, where you wanted and demanded your space in somebody Else's house and you did not even have your own key.
Old roads leads to old habits that can destroy what you have work hard for, don't allow anyone to praise you based on your youthful stupid behaviours.

New roads leads to new interesting places, new friend who believe and support your vision, new and different possibilities, a different game plan and paradigm shift.
New roads have no history, only the present and the future.

Not everything is bad about old roads, there are priceless memories to treasure, the problem is no one cares to remember them.
Remember one thing, a new road for you, can be an old road for me.
Let me guide and care for you....

My Pillow

Hush my pillow, don't say a word.
Pity I can't lie to you, you are too smart for me.
You know my joy full moments, confused moments and my sad moments.
You the second person after the trinity who knows my unspoken joy or pain.
I can successfully avoid everyone but you, as I have to retire and lean on your comfort.
When I bought you, I never knew that I will have to trust you with everything.
Let me say I never planned to confine in you, but you have a way reading my emotions and just comfort me in silent.

How I wish that people close to me can comfort me like you do without judging and lecturing me.
My pillow you are the best at what you do.
You absorb my tears as if nothing happened.
I have tried telling people my shortcomings and the next day I was on the front page of the tabloid.
Amazingly even the pillow cases are confused why I keep on changing them and not you.
They thought they were the best because of the complements they sometimes get.
I'm glad I came to know you my pillow.
I'm glad I can trust you.
Thank you for comforting me when I need it most.

Yesterday is gone:

I was sick yesterday,
I was unemployed yesterday,
I was angry yesterday,
I was a nobody yesterday,
I was alone yesterday,
Yesterday is gone and it will never come again.
I was not loved and liked yesterday,
I was a sinner yesterday,
I was bankrupt yesterday,
I was homeless yesterday,
I was weak yesterday,
Yesterday is history that I can never rewrite.
I was high yesterday,
I was a drunkard yesterday,
I was an abuser yesterday,
I was reckless yesterday,
I was abused yesterday,
Yesterday was my dark cloud and today is my blue sky.
I was confused yesterday,
I was poor yesterday,
I was guilty yesterday,
I was unproductive yesterday,
I was selfish yesterday.
Yesterday lost his battle to today, because today I'm a new man.
Yesterday was when it all went down for the last time.
Yesterday I found myself at the cross roads of the Cross.
Yesterday Christ payed the price on the Cross.

Child of the most high God:
Have a blessed day and a holy week ahead of you. I pray for God's unmerited favour called Grace upon you now,  this week you will receive from God what the world work hard for because of the Grace of God by Jesus Christ on the Cross.
Be kind to someone, invite a person or a friend for lunch, check for clothes you are not using and bless someone less fortunate. Buy somebody new clothes and meet their needs. Buy some some groceries, so then have food like the rest of us. Take someone out for lunch, have a family lunch and bring some small gifts.
Tell a person you meet on the street that Jesus loves him/ her.
Take advantage of this week and Spread love and forgiveness.
