Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode

Title: Never
Say Never!!
I
am certainly sure and fully persuaded that you have heard these words countless
of times, but have you really taken time to find out what the phrase means? Has
the opportunity come for you to apply it to yourself? You and I know that talk
is cheap, it is quite easy to rehearse words and phrases that people from times
past have used to overcome their challenges but where the main issue lies is in
walking the talk. One of the lessons I learnt from my Father growing up was
that life is not a bed of red roses and that whatever a man made of his life,
that is how he would live it. My Father instilled the fear of God in us with
respect to giving a fight for whatever we believed in and which was right. He
had no liver for a ball-less man and swore that no son of his would shrink from
the responsibilities men are born to face. He was a winner and wanted his
children to be winners also and so I learnt how not to give up, how not to give
in and how to live a life of plenty in the midst of lack. Today is my
opportunity to tell you something which I learnt from my Father, he taught me
to "never say never" or as he put it "never say die". Whenever
life knocks you down (which might be pretty quite often), don't stay there
feeling pity for yourself or wallowing in self recrimination, or looking around
to see who had seen you or not, or even waiting for someone to give you a hand,
take a deep breath, hiss if you must, cry if you must but rise up on your feet,
dust the dirt off your clothes and continue the journey, those who have stories
to tell are those who complete their journey. Once you have put your hands on
the plough, there's no going back and like the Spartan of old knew, there can
be no retreat and no surrender until victory is certain. Never say you have
failed until you have reached your last attempt and never say you have reached
your last attempt until you have succeeded. Giving up is a sign of fear, and
like you know, fear is just an illusion meant to keep you running around in a
circle without making any movement; giving in is a sign of surrender, throwing
your hands in the air is not the solution to the challenge you are facing right
now, giving it your best shot is more likely to produce the needed result that
standing akimbo doing nothing. Do not say that something is impossible, that it will never happen, or
that you will never do it, because anything is possible. If you believe in yourself and never say never, you
can achieve whatever you set your mind to. And until the final whistle is blown, the game is
still open and any team can still win it. Whatever cards life has played on
you, take them and deal squarely with them, no retreat, no surrender, never say
never.
