Day 62: Dependence

What makes people give up their dream? What hinders them to not realize their potentialities? What urges them to back out and be content to live a mediocre kind of life? We thought that just because these people have enormous talent and capabilities that they are always confident to accept the task they're asked to do or positions they were elected or appointed to. But that’s not always the case. Even with their exceptional abilities they feel they are not worthy to do the job; that it is not the right time; that those who favored them made a terrible mistake.

Sympathizers call it fear of the unknown or a task too great. Critics call it cowardice, an escape goat or selfishness, a bunch of losers. Both sides maybe perfectly stating the correct conclusion but the real determining factor is whether these talented and chosen ones have their dependence on a superior being, who is God, or on other being other than him/herself. Them who trust God know that dependence is a sign of being strong and utmost sincerity, which makes them winners and great human beings.
