The Storm You Should Never Calm

Sometimes we can't help it, we just can't keep calm. We all have that burning desire and ravenous feeling within, to achieve something and to reach our goals. An instinct that always fails to relinquish. That wild drive that cannot be tamed, that storm that cannot be calmed, that conflagration that cannot be extinguished, that flood that can wipe out an entire drought but I guess most of us have gotten to a point where our patience and perseverance run out and everything died down to a candle flame. The greatest legends all had the chance to give up, quit and walk away. Frank Sinatra, Steve Jobs and Mohammed Ali all plummeted from the peak of their careers but they all found a way to reset. Maybe It always takes an extra mile, an extra ounce, an extra penny, an extra minute, an extra iota of belief for God to open that breakthrough. Maybe there's another way you haven't found yet, another method you haven't discovered yet, a different route you haven't trekked yet, someone you haven't met yet or serendipity you haven't embraced yet. Wot job do you have if you quit anyway? Whether you're someone in the gym struggling to lose weight or gain muscle, whether you're having it tough starting a company, whether you want to take your career to the next level, whether you're having difficult times finding a job, whether you're writer that wants to get published, an athlete who wants to get to the big stages, a student struggling to finish school, a business man trying to rake in the revenues or anyone who's putting in work and hoping for results... The #VIM you have will always take you somewhere farther than where you started. Try a little harder, keep pushing and praying till something happens. One step is better than none if you use the staircase. Slow motion is better than no motion if you using the escalator. God sees our efforts, our hopes, our perseverance, our patience and hears our pleas. Fortunes always miraculously turn in life and God has the wheel. God bless our hustle, and May destiny favour us. VIM!!
