When you are working so hard and you are expecting one or two things in your life, but after waiting for so long, you are not able to get what you works for then you thing there is no hope again.
I remember the historic football match
between Brazil and Nigeria in Atlanta 1996.
Brazil is one of the best football nation in the world and Nigeria knew this, Nigeria losing to Brazil that night in Atlanta would not be a big deal to the world in general.
Gosh! Brazil dealt with Nigeria that night. Till around 77 minutes (about 22 minutes to the end of the game). Brazil was obviously dominating the game. The score line was Nigeria 1, Brazil 3
Despite the Brazil squad, including star names such as Bebeto, Rivaldo, Carlos and Ronaldo, Nigerians watching the game still think Nigeria did not deserve such humiliation by the Brazilian team, Nigeria team have been beaten mercilessly.
Nigerians became angry toward the end of the game; Many Nigerians watching the match have turn-off their Television sets. Some were shedding tears. Whilea few , like myself hoped and pray that we wouldn't be further disgraced with yet another goal.
But the unimaginable happen in the game, at about the 78 minutes Victor Ikpeba stroked from 20 metres to score the second goal, everything charged beyond the 3:2 score line. Pressure came up on and hope was rekindled, the players became more motivated and began to fire shots from every angle.
Then another miracle at the 90 minutes, just before the final whistle, Kanu Nwakwo turn and flipped the ball over Dika and it was another goal. The equalizer. What a wonderful match.
And there was a rule then, known as "the golden goal". That is the first to score in the extra time wins the game.
Then came the decisive goal from Papilo in just 3 minutes of the extra time.... And that was how the messy game became a glorious game.
Today make it 187th day of the 366 days in 2016, about 50% of 2016. It is the official end of the first half of 2016. Now, we are in mid July, yes, but it is not over yet.
A lot can still be done this year to make it a glorious year, the remaining 50% of this year is sufficient to define the whole year. Don't lose hope now. It is too early to give up on your beautiful expectations for this year. Wipe off the tears and buckle your shoes.
What you need to win is to
1. Review
2. Restrategize
3. Relaunch.
You will win in Jesus name! AMEN!!!
Resist the pull of fatigue regardless of the past disappointment, delayed gratification, failure and broken promises YOU WILL WIN!.. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding ... Proverb 3:5.
