Today's focus is based on the lessons you can learn from these two animals: lizard and crocodile. By mere looking at them even though some of us have not seen real life crocodile at the bank of river or at the zoo, you will notice that they have similarities and differences. Some of us have not had any opportunity to be in zoo or in an an environment where crocodiles are common. It does not mean that we have not seen it in the large picture when we were in primary school neither can you deny not knowing how it looks like in television. But lizard is everywhere and you can easily spot them around fences because they used to use fences to build their estates where they relax in their parlours and sleep in their beds but I dont know if they use pillows too so that they would not have neck-ache whenever they wake up.
When you observe lizards, they have courage when you attempt to throw stones at them. They used to feel, "I won't run away from your stone." At times, Mathematicians assume that lizards are learning how to count numbers when they throw stones at them and they would still be gazing at them instead of running for survival. That is just lizard for you. Lets observe crocodile before we venture into what we are after in this article. Crocodile used to be residing both off and on water. It does not learn Mathematics from Mathematicians but it can turn human beings to pepper soup which will be delicious without adding maggi or any spices in its mouth. Crocodile has been known to be dangerous and wild, and perhaps if you have not seen it before now, that may be one of the reasons they dont allow it to play around in the neighbourhood.
Now, the enviness of lizard to be as big as crocodile is futile and unrealistic. No amount of fat drugs and fatty feed you think a lizard will swallow that will make it big as half of crocodile's size talk less of a whole crocodile. It is not about how old a lizard is that will make it big as crocodile. If crocodile fast for 40 days and 40 night, it can never reduce or slim its size and weight to lizard's size and weight. It is in the gene and design. God created them differently and no matter how envious lizard is, it can never be big like crocordile. It is not a curse but the reality.
Therefore, you are created by God and your envy of others is not going to make you to become them but you will lose your identity in trying to envy someone else. You do not need to be as fat as elephant before you reach your greatness because it doesn't matter how your stature is. If a lizard becomes envy of crocordile, tell it to spend a day in the water if it won't drown in the water. Get down to the mine of your God-given potentials and make use of those embedded talents and don't be surprised that instead of you envying others, others will begin to envy you. It is better for others to envy you than for you to envy others. You cannot stop people from envying you because you may not know but you can stop envying others because you know yourself from your better self with the help of Holy Spirit.
Be real to yourself and remember that over-feeding a lizard for a thousand years cannot make it be like crocodile. I'm just a friend and if you feel you need more info about this post, you can contact me on my facebook or my twitter. You can also share it and I know you are the best you can be when you explore the embedded resources in you without envying anyone. Thanks and watch out for my next post soon.
