Destiny Has It's Way Of Doing Things
If the world is to be as children imagined it to be, then there would have been no other place that can be compared to it. While I was growing I had a lot of passion, a lot of dreams and a lot of plans. The funniest part is most of them are not even about my personal gains but for the benefits of the society at large.
Like other children, my dream was to be an army and my aim was not for the prestige attached to the job or even their pay but for how they save lives and keep the territory safe from intruders. You know there is always that very thing that triggers such passion, for me it was the American military movies I used to watch.
The feeling of being the saviour of the day has always been on my mind, in my childish mind then, I thought it was going to be very nice to even loose your life to save another, my passion was just so strong. Now my plan is not to become a boss or anything in the work. I wanted to be part of those who will be in the field fighting terrorists and ensuring that my citizens are in good shape.
So most times, even when we are playing as kids, the role I love to act is that of a soldier, I was just so into the thing.
Things changed
As funny as life is, when I grew up, I still like the job so much but guess what? I never applied for it even once. Not that I don't want to apply but considering the current situation of my country, I am not sure I will be employed even if I tried it. The issue of god-fatherism and connection has taken over everywhere. If you don't have someone who will help you out, you barely get any federal government job.
Another thing is my height , I heard they are only looking for people who are very tall and obviously, I am not that tall. After I thought of some of those things. I just let the sleeping dog lie concerning pursuing that dream.
After college, I just decided to take any job that was available to start life with. I found teaching which is always the only available option and I decided to stay there pending when things will get better.
Now I know you may say why didn't I apply the job to atleast try my luck. The truth is , I am so discouraged, I have been applying for other parliamentary jobs that I think are easy to get and I didn't, is it the army that you think I can get? Moreover many of my friends tried it too and they didn't get. Even after meeting all the requirements.
Let destiny play it's part, whatever God brings my way, I'll go with it. If the army is truly the job God ordained for me, I am sure it will come but if it's not, let the will of God be done. Afterwards, dreaming is a natural thing for the living.
In my case, I don't know why, I am not having the nudging to purse that dream by applying the job. the truth is, no matter how big our dreams are, if we don't chase them we will never catch them. Probably my lazy attitude towards chasing the job could be that it's not for me or it's not yet time.
Lastly, I want to say, dreaming is not just for kids, life is a game of uncertainty, keep dreaming big and don't give up, dream and chase them until they are caught, and if you don't get to catch them, dream another dream and go after it. Who knows, it might be the one that will turn into reality.
