ASCENT AND DESCENT.

ASCENT : THE ACT OF CLIMBING OR MOVING UP... AN UPWARD JOURNEY
From an online dictionary...

A good definition of ASCENT .
Ascending is when progress is continuous regardless of occurrences...

Every decision has a path.

In most hurdle in life, there's the pain and the gain.
Pain is therefore the greatest marker for Greatness.
Without pain, there's no Greatness.

A great man once said, "at the point of application, 2 lines if they differ by a slight arc, the further they extend the farther apart they become"..... Dr Isaiah Wealth.

Everyday as we journey through Earth, everyone goes about finding the most jolly part in life.
There are different fields where success is defined; such that the success of a field determines the lucrativeness of the same.
No matter what the endpoint of success is success is worth celebrating.
Everyone wants to identify with it.

Even the Bible says, " Prov19: 4 Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend. ..."

In relationships with people in life, and from my study, it's hereby important to note that you can not always please people.

I do not deny the fact that,
Sometimes, we share very good moments with folks and maybe once or twice,things go sour and in trying to reconnect with such people in a bid not to be "lonely", we do all we think we can. But in the long run, we end up doing an activity similar to, "raising the dead".. (an impossible one)...

Mindlessly lifting from the Bible once more; (1Jn 2: 19 ISV. They left us, but they were not part of us, for if they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. Their leaving made it clear that none of them was really part of us).

So, while doing this,
Time's fast whisking..
Energy's depressing ..
Perhaps resources are fizzling out...

If you ever thought, either by popular opinion or by self understanding that, Peter did not walk on water! You had better checked your Bible again.
He could walk on it at first but as he began to look at the circumstances, the reality of his DESCENT was made obvious. In actual fact, he began to sink.

And because life presents itself as a track & field game where only the winners are to be reckoned with, others who realize faster move on..
No failure is to be recognized no matter the pathetic circumstances.
Trust me...
No one waits for "pathetic"...
Even wonder why the word "pity" is brought into the 21st century..

The most important thing in life is to live to purpose.
A man without purpose on earth is like a sounding cymbal without a distinctive sound.
An unexamined life is a life not worth living, so says a philosopher.
