MASTER YOUR DESIRES TO AVOID REGRETS IN THE FUTURE

40      MASTER YOUR DESIRES

Mastering a desire or talent could be much more than just perform-and-win basis; rather, it could exceed the usual play-and-win mentality – such was what drove the passion behind David’s interest when he chose to be a singer (Music Composer, instrumentalist) etc.

Singing a song could mean exerting of energy and mental prowess. Emphatically, it demands a calculative attention and creative mental synergy. David was indeed a devoted songwriter, dedicated song singer – all to give glory to God Almighty. David was indeed moved by the burning passion he has for song – not just any song, but songs that gave praises to the name of Jehovah Almighty.

Moreover, Great Edson Arantes Do Nascimento (a.k.a. King Pele of Brazil) is another replica of a passionate servant of thirsty desires to do what he likes best; and that thing was “Football”. Unlike David, he couldn’t sing neither could he act moves like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Will Smith, nor could he dance like the late king of pop, Michael Jackson (of blessed memory), but he stood his ground, got his mind made up to defend football till the end of his time; and today he (Pele) is celebrated as an icon in the world of football.

Mastering one’s desire or harnessing one’s resources into becoming a productive channel wouldn’t only bring joy to the producer or generator; but also to the receptors or the people at the receiving end whose needs have been met. Indeed, many people are just to God like a baker’s dozen; whereby they just exist without knowing why they do so, which is against God’s wish for us; besides, it’s no use living and do not have a positive impact on the lives of people around your dwelling place.
