You are the architect of your destiny

Reflection for the day

By Olubunmi Adebayo

*Apart from God, our individual selves are the greatest change agent of our lives.*

*Take it or leave it, whatever you will become or not become, is in your hands.*

*You are the architect of what you attract to yourself, as I am of what I attract to myself.*

*When God created man in his image in Genesis 1:26, he gave man the capacity for creative abilities, in different shapes and sizes.*

*No wonder the elders say : “every man will get what he deserves in life, fair and square”.*

*A man gets what he deserves in rebuke and condemnation when he will not allow his conscience to yield to corrections. Since being impervious to corrections has become some people’s symbol of character and way of life.*

*When a man leaves the truth in the pursuit of falsehood, all in an attempt to gratify and satisfy himself, he will get what he deserves at the end of the day.*

*A man gets what he deserves when he will not allow round pegs to fix into round holes around him. His preference is rather square pegs in round holes.*

*When a man will never listen to suggestions and advice on the way forward, but just what he thinks or wants only. Such a man will end up becoming disappointed : he will get what he deserves.*

*A man gets what he deserves when he allows his personal needs to override the collective requests of others.*

*A man gets what he deserves, when he sees a bad road ahead, and instead of slowing down to navigate, but decides to accelerate the more : can he blame anyone for whatever untoward comes up?*

*A man gets what he deserves, when he fails to heed all reasonable warnings and he goes ahead to embrace the most absurd and the most unadvisable option available.*

*Always remember this in the journey of life : you can’t eat your cake and have it – none of us can escape this bitter reality : you will always get what you deserve in life, depending on what you do, or fail to do.*

*Tomorrow God willing, I will back this up with specific examples and empirical references.*

Good day to you 👍
