Desperate can lead to a destitute lifestyle
Come to think of being so desperate just to fit in. To fit in only because every one of your age even younger have achieved what you could have for almost 30–40 years of your life. It sounds so very witchy and unfair. One of the reasons we end up poor and destitute is being in a state of being so desperate. When you are so desperate you can do whatever it takes as they keep on telling that myth. It’s a myth because consequences are the opposite of your aspirations.
They (motivational Speakers) keep on telling you, ‘in as much as how desperate you want to breathe underwater”, you can only get what you want. Not always the case. You can be so desperate for a girl, man and anyone attracted to but doesn’t mean you can always get them. What they are afraid to tell you about “Being desperate,” is the price. Have you ever gone for a presentation to be introduced to a scheme only because they talked about a flashy, bling lifestyle you can achieve? The cars you will drive and houses you can occupy. It is because they are aware you are so desperate. They are failing to tell you that which it takes can be even to “kill”. Yes, murder.
In some places they sell human parts with a myth of getting riches if you go to a certain witchdoctor, yeah, it happens. Maybe you will have to abandon your family because you are so desperate that you cannot take the longest route to your riches. There are no short-cuts to life-time success. I bought a brand new because I was so desperate and little did I know I was digging the biggest hole because it was on credit. My advice for you is please buy a second-hand car and if you can afford to buy the brand new one, please paid it upfront, cash.
“Never make any decision when you are so very desperate. Please do not respond when still angry. Never sign while you are still too excited. Never assume.”
We pay lots of debt only because we dig those holes out of desperation. You can be destitute and poor while everyone thinks you are happy. You look happy and affording only because your credit record is good. You are such a good customer because if you are in South Africa you’ve never had bounced debit orders. Your credit rate is very clean that you qualify to be in more debt. It is as simple as that. If you lose your job, maybe for a couple of months you will even hate those letters coming from your store telling you how good you are when it comes to paying on time.
The thing is none of the clothes you took on credit still there and if they do, you are so desperate to upgrade. Get new ones, different gadgets, and devices. Yeah. That can only be proven when you get retrenched or company closed down that you are as broke as the street guy. At least they don’t owe anyone, you will get those calls as long as you are still alive. You will be lucky to be declared insolvent.
Have you ever noticed how much a basket gets full when the pastor at Church start telling you about the “blessing”, yet he’s still the only one blessed more than everyone in the Church. That is not different from that sales pitch, Pyramid scheme presentation. The only difference is, you are intimidated by HELL. The hell you are told you will see if you don’t give or you will remain poor if you don’t tithe. Giving should be part of our lifestyle, give without having to think about returns. When they scam you by saying, ‘You’ll get a double portion if you give a certain amount of money.” That is a real scam because I don’t think your creator needs your money. He will bless you whether you give or not as long as you wake up to look for greener pastures and never exploit anyone.
We are so desperate that we end up being in the same place, poverty. We are vulnerable to scams because it’s been long ever since the word Hope, has been nothing but hope. When someone comes in to promise us something we buy into it. It is hard to be broke. Making money is as hard as digging a hole with a nail, and only to lose it so easy like water in the sand.
Be persistent to know when to quit. It is never too late to change the course. I once dropped out of a race only because I was tired. I didn’t care about, “Don’t quit myths,” because my body was giving me signs. I wasn’t that desperate, after all, I wasn’t number on the race. Even if I was, I wouldn’t trade my life for one loss while I know I can always come back again next time. Don’t be so desperate to say yes in everything. Don’t get in that relationship just because it’s been dry in the land, years of loneliness doesn’t force you to make those desperate decisions. Keep looking for wells even in the desert, if it takes you miles, rest if must.
