Hello
everybody! Eku deede iwoyi o!
Robin Roberts said ‘It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come.’ That's a good statement. But the context of the statement makes it a great statement. She said it when she was diagnosed with cancer, severe cancer. The picture didn't look good. That was a very courageous statement for her in the very bottom part of her adversity. But here's what she knows. Courage doesn't remove our crisis. Courage moves us in the crisis. Courage moves us to a better position in the midst of the storm.
Do
you remember some posts back when I mentioned Robert Frost where he said “ what
we focus on determines what we become”? He says focus on finishing. Focus on
getting all the way through. I also found out that FOCUS means Following One Course of action Until Successful. This
takes time and effort, learning from mistakes, and of course, the strength of
character. That means in whatever you do and wherever you are.
The good news is Robin Roberts is still alive and doing well. But remember, when she made that courageous statement many years back, she wasn't doing well. It's easy on the back end to say, well, I kind of thought things would work out. It's much more difficult in the middle to say, I think things will work out. Courage isn't after the fact. It's right in the middle.
We celebrate with you if you were born in May. Our wishes are; May your days and years be full of good health, prosperity, and accomplishments.
Stay safe, stay strong,
and stay healthy until we will be able to gather together again everybody.
