FORTITUDE OF TEMPEST (fortis tempus)

It is common and normal for any to exhibit fear when things seem odd and out of track, when it becomes dark we panic; we cry when all hope is lost, sometimes we look for where or who to shift blame just to ease our mind yet in our common and ordinary habit there is always no solution.
Looking beyond ordinary we find the extraordinary and natural endowment where lies COURAGE…A rare gift which keeps us going with sparkles of hope; a sustaining energy which reflects to us a little fragment of light in dark hours. Courage gives us balance to think and see possible route in violent storm.

In every aspect of life especially during dark hours, fortis tempus (FORTITUDE OF TEMPEST) is the first and most essential requirement. We all know how plant whither its leaf that not even one is found, yet the stem still displays fortis tempus not blaming the root nor the earth for lack of water hoping it will rain.
As Pilot of Destiny, we must be fortified and ready against tempest hour because fear is the number one anti-flight weapon which hinders our chances of victory. So many who were to do great things if only they had challenged that freckle of fear and press further opted out letting that beautiful world slip away.
You’ve got bigger in you than you think as no one is born barren; gifts are enveloped in us such that when you open one, you find the bigger next inside and as you continue you just can’t imagine what you’ve got but this can only be if we show Fortitude of Tempest.

A recall of a unique experience I had back in school during a defense. On that faithful day students were embarrassed and demised from the hall due to poor performance. As an observer I was able to pin-point the cause of their lapses which was Lack of Courage to express themselves. Then I tried and told myself of the need to pocket fear; when it became time for me, the first thing I did was to work on my walking pattern to stage which won me the attention of the audience. When I started, I would look straight into the eyes of the supervisor because I needed them to feel intimidated if only to achieve my aim.
When one of the supervisors was to ask me question, he fidgeted which gave me further bravery to sweep the audience.

We do not know the power we have in courage to resurrect that dying hope and bring alive that lost dream.
One vital prerequisite for any battle is: If you must fight and certain that the very fight is unavoidable, you must be quick to give the first blow; you must attack first. Not because you love trouble, neither because you possess plenty of muscles but because you need to create some sort of intimidation around your opponent which ignites your courage to give you proper balance.
Courage does not mean lack/absence of Fear; No! Fear will come... but it means FIGHTING FEAR (Peace Eze)

One unique lesson to learn from the eagles’ method of self training is that they wait for storm just to master its pros and cons which makes them what they are. Just like exercising one’s self, the storm only builds strength on the eagles’ wing and unlike every other birds, the eagle do not perch, they land.

Tempest times are often NATURES will to propel us, sustain us and mortify us for the next phase of life; To succeed and overcome we must show courage, we must win our balance by applying this mental energy called fortis tempus.
Do not be discouraged, that storm; that trouble; that pain is nothing but a fiction if only you can show fortitude of tempest.

Cheers!

THE SAD EYE

I know someone after gazing through this subject title will wonder what I meant. The SAD Eye could also be termed or referred as hidden tears. Before I hit further, I would categorically state that it is a symbol of maturity and great weapon of defense which could be for or against the carrier.

Virtually, many had suffered some experience which had left them some sort of sad decisions and this made them prisoners of themselves. My personal encounter with friends who had suffered some sad fate made me realize how special they could if only they could come out of their prison with that golden decision to apply their sad experience for good.

Generally, even among religious group we were taught that we aren't suppose to feel sad which is one root cause why many suffer so much as not having the will to manage it. Those who think sadness as no part of existence are often those who suffer from it. Like I will always quote: Those who Smiles in Pains, smiles not because they feel no Pain but because they knew Pain as Mother to Joy (Peace Eze).

Until we learn to manage things which are natural and insignificant to existence, there is no way we can obtain full optimization of them.

There is no way you would pass through life without experiencing some sad fate, that's just NATURES way to propel us for the next stage. The greater your experience the greater your mental powers to whirl the sword of fate. It is so unfortunate to give up your quest and lock up your race just because you felt either a little or big disturbed.

As beautiful as a skyscraper, any who view it would look at it from the base to the top and admire but wouldn’t bother to imagine the level of foundation sustaining it which exist beyond the base. You never can compare the foundation of a skyscraper to the foundation of a story building; and a story building to that of a room building. There is always a unique difference in their foundation.

Nature bequeaths us some sad experiences (fate) which justifiably serves as a foundational aid for a bigger smile and responsibility. The level of sad experience determines the depth and strength of your next level but many during this time lock their heart away from seeing the true colours of realities, and it is so impossible to ride through what you cannot see. 

If you’ve never experience any sad fate, there is every tendency to be careless about relevant issues that will stop you from your next ultimate.

Nature is wise to allow women go through pains, even at the verge of losing their lives just for a child. I can only imagine how much value life would be if children were bought.

Yet, as normal as it is to experience pain, one unique key to fight through life battle is to fight without any feeling of pain. The sword of life is too sharp that if whirled with anger or sentiment makes you the victim. It may be necessary to perform life troubleshooting techniques (i.e visualizing yourself to see reasons why things happen) to let go that pain…Yes! Let go the pain but keep the lesson.

Fighting the battle of life WITHOUT PAIN + LESSON is igniting a whole lot of power into the sword of life which makes it flexible to move like the wind; sweeping away every dust and dirt’s hindering your path.

That Sad Eye in you has lot of power and energy, do not let it gosh out tears of pain but rather; let it gosh out smoke of wonders which carries the tears of joy.
