UPHILL AND DOWNHILL

© 2014 – Ayobami Temitope Kehinde

I don't like using the staircase if there is a lift. Why should I lose some of my kilos when I need more? But today, the lift was out of service and I had to reluctantly take the stairway to where I had to go. I went up ten flights of steps stopping in-between to breathe in some air. I was panting by the time I reached the floor I was going to. But I knew it would be better on the way downstairs and it was, no panting or stopping for breath.

This reminds me of what some friends told me some years back. They said it is more difficult to climb uphill than come downhill. And it is easier to pull down than to build as well.


Be encouraged as you focus on your track in destiny and as you do your part to get to the expected end. It may seem not to be working; your efforts might seem not worthwhile, don't give up, keep on, you will get to the top of the hill. Listen, even if there is no lift to make it easier for you, you will get there if you don't faint.
