Enemy Of Success

in Reflectionslast month

There is one Yoruba Adage that says, (if someone's own is not spoiled, another person's own will not be better), something like that Or maybe it's just a Yoruba saying. I don't know, but I have heard it countless times. Why does someone else's own have to spoil before another person's own can be achieved? Why can't everyone of us achieve without spoiling someone else's own? At least the sky is big enough to contain all of us; it's not as if the top is complaining or the top is rejecting anyone.

But truth be told, some evil people have to come down for some good people to go up. But the reverse is the case; it's now good people coming down and evil people going up. That is to say, they can pull good people down too if they are not careful; in fact, they are the most people being pulled down. Why am I saying exactly this? If you are already up there, be strong and be prayerful; don't allow anyone to pull you down to get to the top. Never be a victim; don't allow it; block every corner that they want to make use of to pull you down. But don't be a stop block for someone to go up too.

Something happened recently that make to to realize that good people too can be pulled down if not careful, watchful, and prayerful. Maybe if he was a little more violent with his prayer; maybe if he had told God to scatter everyone that wanted to pull him down, maybe they would not have succeeded. I pity him, but what can I do other than pray for him to pull through? Removing someone from a position and replacing him without any query or offense, just like that.

Evil people are down there to pull good people down so that they can go up too. It happens in business too. "He doesn't know work; I can do it better than him; bring the work, let me do it for you." Why not present your own business instead of spoiling someone else's own? In short, you are good; don't allow evil people to spoil your own so they can go up. They are everywhere; be careful, be watchful, be prayerful. Stay away from people that spoil people or their business.
Don't be a stopping block for others to go up .

How beautiful will it be if everyone can be at the top , no one will beg from each other. If we need each others help , it will be easy to get help. The word will be a better place if we all lift each other up and not pulling anyone down just because you have to go up.

Saying bad thing behind someone just because you want them to like you or you want to please them is not a good thing to do . Anyone that want to help will help you , not until you spoil someone name. Be kind, be good and the good will return back to you in many fold.
