When Not To Cut off The T…

Jarlath Uche Opara

Keeping it all the time means saying I can’t all the time, in all situations. Too bad ! . Sometimes cutting it off becomes the best decision, depending on what is involved.

“I can’t” comes with its sleaze and sparkle , its fickle and finesse, its pains and gains.

One has to be wise to know when to cut the T and allow the spirit of “I can’t” to die and when to graft it and water it to blossom.

Don’t cut the T when what is before one suggests temptation, a thunderbolt, capable of shattering and shoveling destinies into holes of woes.

Don’t cut off the T when what seems to conquer and influence one are nothing but tardiness, darkness and anxities, creating nothing but choas to the calmness of ones soul.

When all that is in the life of one reflects nothing but tedious load of avarice, temple of inordinate wishes and thoughts, leave that T and say “I Can’t”.

When what seems a recycling of habit is but turbulence and treachery, leave that T , don’t cut it off, be bold to say, “I can’t” to such habits.

Leave that T! Don’t cut it off, be bold to say “I can’t”when things around your life is suggesting nothing but dreg and dirts, draging one to the den of lion and dragon, where nothing but blood flows and life sniffed out. In such situation, be bold and say “I Can’t”.

Leave that T, don’t dare cut it off. In your life when hyenas, pandas, pythons etc begin to fraternize with you, giving one a fake impression of what inherently kills. Be bold and say I can’t.

When the waves of life challenges gather and begin to push and toss, kick and blow, intimidate and cow, cut off that T and say to them, I can in all these ,my eyes on the trophy, whatever it is, I can.

Cut off that T when life serves one with a lemon and an egg. Don’t say I can’t, whining like a spoit child, say rather, I can turn it into lemonade and make an omelette of it equally.

Cut of that T and say I can,when challenges try to ridicule ones steam of faith and spark of godliness, daring one to live a virtuous person! Be bold and say I can!

When it comes to Holiness cut off the T. When generosity is involved cut off the T. When humility, love and forgiveness are involved, cut off that T. When accountability, suavness and diligence is involved, cut off the T. Be bold to say I can!

Cut off that T when the dream and vision of your future are by day sliding and slipping of your hold, cut off that T and say yes! I can

When one faces challenges of lack and penury. When hunger stares at one , eye ball to eye ball, jeering at one, with mockery over the harsh economic situation. Cut off the T and dare those who laugh mischievously at you, say to them yes I can regardless!

Keep that T. Don’t cut it. When the whirlwind of human nature becomes too obsessively compelling to yield. Be bold to say I can’t.

Life is filled with things. The bad, the good, the ugly, the horrible and most times the excellent. Knowing when to say “I can and I can’t” is a virtue not all have it

In all the virtues, learn to say “I can”! In all the vices, always say “I can’t”. To all the pebbles and slippery spots against your good wishes and desires, say I can’t! To all the nudging to a life of discipline and responsibilities, “I can” should be our auto play response.
