The Struggle Never Ends

When I was still very little, I can remember seeing my Dad wake up early everyday in a bid to prepare for work. Every single day he woke up early and moved out in order to provide daily bread for us, in order to put food on our table and if not for sickness my Dad will still be hustling even till today.

It made me wonder what there is to this life of eternal struggle. Even the then richest man of Africa Alhaji Aliko Dangote would go out everyday in search of money, just like Nigerian musician Burna Boy, self named African Giant said in one of his songs "Dangote still dey find money". Even unto the end of eternity man's struggle never ends.

   

  It ain't easy, no one said it would be easy but we believe in the long run it will be worth it. Your tears are a sign that you've been strong for too long, you've been fighting, seems like you are not winning, like you are not progressing, nothing is moving, like you are stuck in a maze, the pain is tougher than the struggle, the night seems like eternity, your bed soaked with tears, the day finally surfaces, you've got to begin your mission again, the hustling continues, the struggle never ends, black rain showers, the pain builds character. Don't Cry.

  

  I wonder if we are to work and struggle till our last days on this planet. Even the wealthy and powerful still hustle to put money in their accounts. Man's wants are insatiable. Some even go as far as robbing others just to get money. And it pisses me off when I see most youths lazing around the neighborhood when the wealthy and powerful are still hustling.

Maybe the rich keep on grinding because of the popular adage "no one knows tomorrow". In essence, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Tomorrow is pregnant. I've seen a lot of families who were once rich and later became poor. Life is unfair. Even a good man will struggle till he dies.

My advice to my fellow youths; start early, from where you are, work super hard, and smart too, sift every advice given to you and never conform. Believe in yourself, listen to your spirit, follow your heart it knows.

   

  The world have been stretched for thousands of years, developments upon developments, companies found everywhere, new styles and types of cars are produced every year just to make life easier for man, what about the telephones, the internet, raw materials that have been mined and turned into useful products for our own good, still, the travails of man still prevails. Still on still we are still struggling. Permit me to ask when will the struggles end?

     No matter what level you're at in life there is a struggle. Just because someone has a lot of money or fame doesn't mean they don't have struggles too.

It doesn't matter who you are, you will face adversity. It is by overcoming that adversity that you become great. The next time you think someone else's life is perfect and free of worries and struggles, think again. We all must face challenges and overcome them.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
