sharing excitements

May 18, 2022 3:18 pm

When you 'blow', , there is that instinct to want to pick up the phone and share screenshots of your latest wins.


With easy access to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, you want to let all your friends know and maybe at least 'pepper dem'.


You are so desirous of those 'congratulations' hypes and notification sounds that will hit your phone from comments.


Can I lend you some wisdom here and save you from what killed some at the early stage of their breakthrough?


You will not need to return it.


Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob who had the privilege to be exposed early to his breakthrough into honour and dignity.


He had royalty in him and pictured it always that he walked in that reality with all assurance.


One of the days, while they were all over the family meal, he got so excited and told the entire family how they were bowing to him.


He repeated it in another instance probably because of his childish thinking but never knew he was beginning a battle that should have never begun.


After several days, his elder brothers sought a way of dealing with him and offered him slavery.


I know you have been taught all those things that happened because he needed to go to Egypt to fulfil his purpose.


Yet, it might have still happened through a proper migration process like getting a study visa, work visa or professional visa that would not need the situations in-between.


What if he got killed or poisoned because he let out his breakthrough too soon.


I'm not going to do an apologetic argument with you about whether he would have still lived because of his purpose in life. LOL.


Some have crossed the other side of life untimely.


This is the same thing you are trying to do when you refuse to discern who hears about your breakthrough, knows about the guy who just proposed to you or your plan to relocate to a better location.


You got a glimpse of a miracle and did not wait for it to mature before you let it out.


When you leave singlehood, some things in your home should not be told to your friends who are still single.


Stop telling them the nice words, gifts and places the man took you to.


Don't assume they are fine with it.


Talk about other things.


When you have just got a promotion, not every friend in your circle can manage the envy of not having what you've got.


When you have started having the invites to speak on certain platforms, not every one of the people you look up to will be able to bear listening to the exploits.


Manage your excitements.


Some people will deliberately stop recommending you for opportunities that match your competencies and gifts.


This is not because they are bad but they feel you are just okay.


You need them too as much as you need the good friends who stick around.


Only be sure you do not initiate any crisis you should have avoided.


Every greatness needs both enemies and friends.


Should I explain?


I won't be tempted to right now. Maybe in my next letter to you.


For now, know I am rooting for your wins, .


We will be wise.


Abiodun Mustapha.
