PAIN- THE POWER BEHIND GAIN

In my words, I say that a successful man or woman is that person who has built a house with the bricks others have thrown at him. I was deeply inspired about a Nigerian man, Taofeek Okoya who turned a point of frustration to a platform of manifestation or in other words turned his lemon into lemonade. After his inability to get a black doll for his niece, he made a black doll which is now giving Barbie dolls a run for their money. He could have chosen to whine and complain of how the world is against the black man which was the easiest thing to do, not Mr. Okoya, he simply turned his pain into gain.
    Some months I had a similar experience, I had been sending slogans to a particular site but was not getting my just due as someone will see what I have done and improvise and gets paid for the job I did. Rather than get mad, I got creative and from the ashes of pain I created my own company, Logos and Slogans (www.facebook/LogosandSlogans) which has been paying me by the minute. Charles Darrow created the game Monopoly when he was down and broke but certainly not out during The Depression.
  Friends, take a closer look at that thing you call pain for their is some form of gain in it, a wise man said, 'When one door closes, seven others are open but we look long at the one that is closed without us knowing that others are opened to us. Another wise man said, 'If God cushioned your every blow, you will never grow. What you think is an end is just a beginning without you knowing. An African proverb says, 'Look at where you slipped not where you fell'. Pain can be made into gain if only you will look for it. I conclude with the saying that, 'Many complain that roses have thorns, I am grateful that thorns have roses. Shalom
