Don’t STOP!!!

When I first started writing on Facebook as an active writer, I would always jump off on my feet each time someone like my post or commented; and when nobody did, I would silently sulk in my corner. The good I’ve been doing over the years and I thought were unnoticed by people was actually infact, well acknowledged by observers.

You see, we work everyday with all our hearts, silently hoping that someone would notice and say at least a thank you. We burn ourselves out for the right cause hoping that someday, someone on earth (not until you’ve died and gone to heaven and Baba God will say well done my pikin), will acknowledge us; and so when nobody does, we sometimes feel we’ve been wasting our time, we feel it was useless trying to do something good for no personal gain. Well, recently, I’ve come to learn something about consistency.  Irrespective of the fact that we do what we do, not because we want anyone to applaud us; until we become very consistent at it, the fruit of our labour won’t really pay out. Don’t stop doing good because no one applauded your first work; don’t stop giving because no one gave you an award for philanthropy; don’t stop acting, singing and even writing because no one said you’re good at it; the world is watching, every other person around is observing; sometime very soon; someone will shock you with a statement, a public applauds, a recommendation for your consistency in that which you do. Don’t stop doing good because no one is appreciating you, don’t stop writing because no one clicked the like button or commented; don’t stop acting, singing or even dancing because no one gives you a thumps up; the truth of the matter is that there’re a lot of people who get ministered to, people who get blessed tremendously by that dance of yours, people who get motivated by those acts of yours, those articles of yours; that might not have the courage or opportunity to walk up to you and tell you that you’re doing a good deal of good.

Don’t stop doing good, you’re blessing and touching lives, even if they don’t tell you.
