It is not over until the fat lady sings

When faced with difficulties in our lives we easily fall into a trap of presuming to know the overall outcome of our lives and future, forgetting that life is God’s work in progress. Half the time when things are bad we tend to use a “life nearing its end or conclusion approach”, which in my view is nothing but an excuse that we apply when we are almost tired of trying. Well the reality is that we have to keep trying again and again and again if we are going to achieve the goals that we have set out for ourselves.

We need to live a life of “No excuses”, it’s easy to come up with a reason why we can’t be our best, most people tend to make themselves believe that they have some kind of handicap, something that’s holding them back, it may be something about their looks, something they don’t like about themselves, may be they have gone through a difficult situation in their lives or maybe a failed business, unfortunately we have to keep going regardless, because virtually everybody goes through problems, so any situation no matter how difficult, cannot be used as an excuse to give it all up and let go, “It is not over until the fat lady sings”.

Even in those difficulties, there is still something great that God has in store for you, for as long as you keep pushing yourself to the limits, as long as you refrain talking negative to or about yourself, what you see as a liability can in fact turn out to be an asset. When God made you, he wasn’t having a bad day, he made you in such a way that you stand the test of time, he made you in such a way that you can “weather the storms of life” and make it to the finish line, because “It aint over until the fat lady sings”.

Life remains a race, run and finish it African child, the finish line (your ultimate departure on earth) is always around the corner because there are no guarantees at all, but live your life “fighting to succeed”, fighting to achieve the goals that you have set out for yourself, fighting to make the most of what you have been given by God. A wise man once said “the harder you push, the luckier you become” so if you give it all up, all opportunities that were supposed to come your way will obviously come to a halt, because you are simply not working/walking towards them, walk towards your opportunities, they are lying somewhere along your path of life. Remember, the fat lady will only sing when “your quite body is laid to rest at your final destination on earth”, so until then keep telling yourself that “It ain’t over until she sings”, so keep pushing and pushing.

When you have a setback, when life deals you a blow, don’t get sad, don’t give up, don’t talk negative to yourself, that situation is a learning curve, a situation aimed at making you stronger and better in order for you to be among the “Greatest”. 

I choose to live a “No Excuses life”, because it can never be over until the fat lady sings, How do you choose to live your life African Child?
