Annie~Joy writes: Good From Bad. #BeInspired!

What definition will you give to the word "bad" if you have been asked to? The very first impression you will give, will come from your face which will show an expression that you are coming to talk about something unacceptable. Google search defines "bad" as unpleasant, unwelcome, imperfect etc. which suites the word but I am here to prompt you about the beautiful side of the word "bad".
 
When a bad thing happens, it gives you the sense to be vigilant in your next decision making. For instance, let's say you had a break up with a beloved which got you so hurt and so broken. Don't you think next time you will be careful with whom you give your love to? Or better still take your time before entering into a relationship. The road that nearly led to your death won't be the road you will wish to use again or take alone. Sleeping in a stagnant water surrounding which caused you malaria will move you to tidy up the area or change your location to a more hygienic environment. Therefore, at the end of the day, you have derived some good from bad. 
 
The great Williams Shakespeare once said: "To do a great right do a little wrong." In that sense, before you can be successful with whatever you want to achieve, you would have done it wrong. 
 
Then it is convinced to say the inventor of the light bulb had many wrongs until the hundred time when he achieved this goal perfectly. If that is so, then it is known that the bad, shapes our lives too. Although it is not accepted, sometimes it is good to embrace it. There is a saying which goes, ones bitten twice shy. Bad makes you wild and vigilant. 
 
Supposedly, Leslie was asked to pay his school fees at the bank and present a banker’s draft to the school. Yet due to time, he decided to go and give the cash to the accountant and it came out that, the accountant had spent the money on him which got to Leslie's notice. Do you think he will make such mistake of his life again? No! At the end of the day, that bad occurrence has made him careful in his decision making. 
 
Some people still live in their bad past. You are becoming the perfect somebody you want to become, because something bad happened and you made a good out of it. All the time, people embrace good but bad too counts. It is known that the president of the Republic of Ghana lost two times until he attained his final victory. On His third time, he came better than before because he might have sat down to analyze the things that needed to be omitted and the ones that needed to be added. Those ideas came as a result of the losses in his two elections. Don't wish to encounter bad happenings, but just in case it happens, try to see the beautiful side of it and embrace it. 
 
I once read a story of a business man who was traveling outside his country for a business appointment and when he got to the airport, to his disappointment, he was delayed. He was so furious and angry at the service agents because the appointment was very important to him and had time on it. Later on, he was told he had to wait for the next flight. The anger generated the more but what else could he do? He just had to wait. 
 
Few hours in his waiting time, news reached the airport that, the flight he was supposed to take had caught fire which was an engine failure, thereby losing many passengers. So, as you can know for yourself, the bad thing that happened was, he was delayed and the good thing that came from it was that, his life was saved. Embrace bad, because it sometimes adds meaning to your life. 
 
Let me add a little of my story to it. I had wanted to continue my education in the same year I graduated but something bad came up which I had to wait on the next year which happens to be the year we are in. It was a blow to me. I just couldn't accept it but in my delay, I began to write the articles you have been reading. Therefore, the possibility that I wouldn't have discovered myself as a writer and a motivator would have been high if the bad thing that happened in the year I graduated had not occurred. Or it would have taken me quite long to discover this potential in me. So, you see I made some good from bad. Embrace your bad experience. 
 
We can never wish to see good at all times in our life. Since the good has an opposite side, definitely it will also display what it contains. Just as the sun comes in the day and moon and stars come in the night, you just have to see the beautiful side of it all. Every Great man or woman you have heard of, has had bad experiences in his/her life. But they seeing the beautiful side of it brought about their greatness. Bad is also in to mould you and make you better. Embrace it. 
 
This is what I bring to you on this very day. In every bad experience or happenings, learn how to see the beautiful side of it. "Bill Gate" would have never become father of Microsoft if he had not dropped out of school. Maybe or maybe not. You wouldn't have been privileged to enjoy KFC if "Colonel Harland Sanders had not be rejected from the military camp. Embrace bad and also be determined to make good from bad. 
 
The beauty that Great Martin Luther saw in difficult times is what I leave with you. "We have got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't matter with me now because I have been to the mountain top. I have looked over and I have seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know today that we as a people will get to the promised land."
 
Always make good from bad!
