NEED MY ATTENTION? NO WAY!!!

Hi dearest, I’m so glad to have you here, hope you have been good? Relax and let’s get started……

July 5th 2000, was a day I wouldn’t have wanted to be out for anything and I mean anything but I had no choice. As I went out this day, it just seemed like all the vehicles in Lagos, Nigeria were let loose. To worsen the situation, it also looked like they were all heading towards the same direction. This was a day that I could pay a million dollars to be driven by someone, but poor me I was driving myself. I just couldn’t wait to get to my house and land on my bed. I wasn’t only tired, but angry and to crown it, hungry.

Amidst the tight traffic, a young man selling , came to my window and kept showing me his goods, he just did not want to leave the window, he wanted me to patronize him by all means. Of course, you should know how I must have been feeling, with traffic and all; I was too tired, hungry and angry to look at his side, and to tell you the main thing, I wasn’t even interested in his goods .When he realized I wasn’t giving him any attention, of course after standing there for a long while, he slowly left my window for another vehicle.

Dearest, how much attention do you give what you really don’t want? My mentor will always say and say again, ‘Never Watch What You Don’t Want”. Listen dearest, you think you have a headache? Don’t pay attention to it, act like it’s not there, and when it realizes that no attention is given to it, it just leaves, you wouldn’t even know when it left.

Some time ago, I had this excruciating pain, it was just one side of my head, it was really excruciating, and it was very difficult not to give it any attention but with Christ’s help, I did not give it any attention, just went on with my work, like I was not going through any pain. Dearest, the amazing thing about this experience was that I never knew when the pain disappeared. Enough of giving that pain, negative situation attention, they are motivated to stay and remain when noticed. Get busy, with God’s word, prayers and activities and in no time, that pain, or that negative situation will be gone never to return.

Loads of Love,

Smiling D.
