Yes! The one year service has come to an end.
If you look back to your service year and all you could give account of is only a few dough in your pocket, few extra things to take home and other
... small items given to you by those who considered your service year as suffering while your other colleagues serving somewhere else can boast of owning a car, a good job at hand and above all, a house of their own during the course of service.
You wondered, and ask yourself, where did I get it wrong? Am I not able? Is the world against me?
Let me remind you that the ways of men are not the ways of God.
In order to accomplish great things in life, focus is needed. The fact that a friend is ahead of you doesn’t make you less n life.
What will make your friend look greater than you is when you lose focus of yourself and the purpose of your
existence. We accomplish more by focus than by fitness. In most cases, the man that is best suited for a place does not always fit in. it is the man that focuses on its very possibility that makes an art of both his work and his life. You must be that man.
You must remember that the time-set for every man’s success is different from each other. Do not expect that you will always have easy sailing. Parts of your journey are likely to be rough, don’t let the rough places put you out of commission.
Keep on with the journey. Just the way the weather of a storm is, so also you have to show the world what material you are made of.
Do not let your mistake of the past weigh you down. Think of it as a mere incident that has to be overcome before you can reach your goal. You are made for a purpose and you will fulfill that purpose only if you stay focused in life.
As you prepare for life after service, do not lose focus and you will attain greater heights.
