New Places, New Faces, Zero Traces...

IMG-20240121-WA0003.jpg


Everything looks new when you are in a new place
You hold on to that newness...never letting go...guarding your space
You sometimes lost track of how you got there, no trace
Up for the challenges that lies ahead you have to brace
Adjusting can be difficult too when you have no one who have your face
But you have to look inward, no timidity because you carry God's Grace
Life can be a puzzle to solve sometimes and oftentimes, like a maze
Which you have to navigate through as you strive to find your place
We are all the same...we differ by colour, thinking and also race
Those are visual difference but we are all beautiful to behold like a vase
Tender...delicate...soft and to be handled with care despite the content
There are so many things to learn at once when you are in a new space
Lessons keeps coming at you from every corner even when you don't want to
Growing up isn't optional in situations like that else you go further than
Staying up has to be deliberate if you want to stand your ground and soar
I have seen a lot of people lack the mental strength to pull through
Not because of the lack of it but they got swept up by the overwhelming lessons
It's easier to give up when you have lessons parading in your face
With no time to catch up or take a breather
Mental preparation is necessary and when you are overwhelmed with lessons
That's the only way you can pull through as your mind filters and count the blessings
I don't think I have attained but I am not resting...daily pressing towards the mark
No one have everything all figured out...no...not one
But while you are calling on God, don't also forget to row
God will always send the rain but you have to prepare your field
We all have a part to play in life...trust God and do all you can too


Thank you for your time.

Adjusting can be so hard and it takes a lot of mental strength. We need to do what we need to do and we need God for the journey too. A lot of things can look daunting but nothing having a strong mental strength couldn't deal with, with God beside too as always. God ahead...God behind...God before and God everywhere.

Haha I love this. God everywhere. God is unending and we will always need him. Adjusting can be so hard but we need to prepare for it; physically, mentally and every way possible. God cannot be ruled out too.

We cannot rule God out. God knows how to always help us with every situation when we ask for His help. We need to do our part and God will always do His part.

Where if a person has spent 10-15 years of his life, it is not easy to go to a new place and settle down and as we all know that a person finds peace in a place where A person has spent a long time, that feeling and that peace, which a person can never find in another place, that's why one should try that where a person can find peace, a person should spend his life there.

Adjusting is always hard because you left the known for the unknown...and that's why having God makes the difference anywhere we find ourselves...whether in a known or unknown territories.

The emphasis on God being all around us is really nice. In the end, having a strong mental health while backing it up with a supernatural force — God! Might be just what we need to successfully scale through this journey called life.

You always feed me with sweet spiritual write-ups and I really love them. Please keep it up, boss. Today's poem just reminded me of this statement which says that "the downfall of a man is not the end of his life, but when he falls and refuses to stand up again", so it's just saying that we have to learn from our mistakes and try to follow God's way.

Life will always happen in various ways and as you have rightly said, how we react when that down turn happens defines our character.

Thank you so much and I am always grateful for your engagement and thoughtful comments too. They mean a lot. Thank you.

Living a new life can change people and the way you think
We just have to be changing for positive reasons

We have to be positive regardless of where we find ourselves. A positive mindset would go a lot way in going through uncharted territories.

Thanks a lot.

It is a fact that when a person leaves his home and goes to another place or to live in another country, all the people are new and everything is new, so things take some time to settle. It seems sure but it is not a matter of worry because whatever things happen in life like this we get to learn many new things. No one used to recognize but now there are some people with whom we have a good hello so that's how life goes.

Of course we all have a role to play, we do our part then God do his part. We all at one point in time have to adjust to the newness of things. We start with mindset of tackling anything but as time goes on we become resilient and just give everything unto God, we obviously can’t get through life without the owner. We find ourselves crawling back to our maker and trusting him for all good things.

That's it...one way or the other, we will find ourselves crawling back to God, asking for His help. The earlier the better. We need to find Him early and involve Him in our journey as we go along.

When one just finally and suddenly moved to a new place, just like you said everything always look so new and most of the time it always take time to adapt to the environment and get used to it. But we humans are create for adaptation though because we can easily adapt to new environments as far it means some vital conditions of our living. We are always good to go. "I have seen a lot of people lack the mental strength to pull through
Not because of the lack of it but they got swept up by the overwhelming lessons" I can tell you that it is not always easy to be at that tup. Quite always challenging most of the time

It's always challenging. Most people get so overwhelmed with so many lessons and adaptation coming their way. It can be frustrating too because you start questioning if you are not strong enough. Still, we have to keep positive mindset and take it one step at a time so as not to get overwhelmed by things.

Perfectly true. It can really be challenging and fustrating and most of the time most people are not able to overcome that feeling of fustration that they actually gives up along the line. But just as you said, we just need to keep going and never give up no matter what. It is very important for us to have that positive mindset every single time and moment because it is key to sustain us

That's the key to sustaining us, I agree with you. Mental strength can get us through dark days and tough moments. It's not surprising when they say tough moments don't last but tough people do.

I agree with you. Mental health is key and that will really sustains us all through the journey. In fact that is what will help to keep going when we feel like giving up. Tough moments does not last truly but we must always be prepared for the tough moments no matter what and what will help us to be prepared is the mental health

We have to be prepared. Tough moments will surely come and each hurdle we cross gives us the key to unlocking even more things. We have to keep moving.

Perfectly true. We always need to stay prepare every single time and moment. We must not be caught unprepared because that will be a dangerous state to actually be

I am going through this, we have moved to a new house, It's called a shalimar colony and i am sad to see, in the colonies, no body wants to have contact with you, all want to live their life, they don't need distrubance, may be that's the reason here in my country people shift to colonoies. adjusting takes time for sure.

That happens. It takes a while to have people trust you especially when you are new in a familiar territory for them. One step at a time and it also takes wisdom to know who to relate with because mixing with the wrong people early on can make the experience even more harder that's why we need God's help and wisdom.

Very great post as always friend, new beginnings can be a little scary and challenging, but at the same time can be the fruit of many good things not to mention that new doors open where we can transform into a better version of us and with a clear mind, positive, with great faith in God and give time to time, but that if putting our part so that everything goes in the best possible way, thanks for sharing this great post, blessings ♥

Perfectly true. Mental preparation is really key and we need to make sure we understand how it works properly because it can actually make or mar up depending on how we actually see it. Most of the time, a lot of people didn't pay attention to how demanding their environment is and so they get carried away by the noise of it and didn't pay attention to it fully. That is how it works and behave

We sometimes get carried away by the noise and forget how demanding things can be. We get so relaxed and then get overwhelmed when things start to happen with lessons left right and center. We need to be mentally prepared and ready, no doubt.

Thanks for that.

Perfectly true. That is just the truth. We sometimes get carried away by the noise that most times we fail to pay close attention to what is really happening and that can really be dangerous. So dangerous at times. Most times also I have discovered that we are the ones that choose not to listen to the lessons and make use of them. We most of the time overlook them or what do you think?

Yes, most people don't take lessons seriously or they feel they have all the time in the world but some lessons when not taken in that moment can be costly. We sometimes take things for granted and feel we will always get lucky but life isn't like that.

Life is all about the lessons learned! It should be used as our stepping stone and not an impediment to our progress in life. We are often weighed down by the things we're faced with at the moment. forgetting that flaws, errors and failures are always there to build us.

Nice post💯✨

It's human...we always get weighed down by the things we face as you have rightly said. Our perspective would determine how quickly we get out of a particular issue.
