ENDURANCE - By ABSOL

It was a beautiful cold morning on this special day, I was in a hurry to multitask as usual. There was need to see password and there was another need not to be late to work, but because password is password, she was the first on the scale of preference and out of _enu gbe_ had to board a motorcycle from Oranfe to Akaraba inside Lagere.

It was cold of course but no amount of cold could stop me from seeing password but on the motorcycle I kept on complaining of cold even though the sun was already setting. "I wish I took my cardigan" I said to the bike man who I already engaged in a fun conversation, making a new friend. But the man said. "Egbon, e je  endure, òrùn ò ní pé  ràn  t'óru maa mu" (Bro you better endure, the sun will soon set and there will be heat). Wanted to reply but lost my diction at that moment reflecting on what he has said. Endurance!

Most times we find ourselves in situations that we lament a lot over, complaining like there is no tomorrow while all is needed is just a little bit of endurance for the storm to pass and enjoy the cool breeze afterwards.

To endure is to persevere, I don't know who need to hear this but that situation you are into will not last forever, it has not come to stay but to pass, it is just a moment that if well endured, you will look back upon and smile.

So ENDURE! because it will not last!

Have a nice day
