There’s a quiet kind of fear that follows ambition.
The kind that hides behind progress and productivity.
We chase stability, position, and recognition as if peace lives at the end of the next achievement. Yet, beneath the movement, there’s often a restless hum, a subtle fear that if we pause, life might move on without us.
I know that hum too well.
Especially in a place where survival feels like a sport and success, a scarce resource. Some days, it feels like I’m running against the tide, hustling, building, hoping that one day, I’ll finally arrive.

| Worry is the enemy of memory. |
But today, in the middle of one of those frantic moments, worry whispering in one ear and deadlines in the other, something unexpected happened.
Stillness found me.
Not the kind you create with meditation or music.
It came uninvited, quiet but firm, like a voice stepping into noise.
And it said,
“You worry about what you desire, wealth, position, properties. But you forget that you’ve come this far not by strength nor by power. The same God who brought you here still exists, and He is not done with you.”
I froze.
Because deep down, I knew it was true.
All I have, every door that opened, every path that unfolded, none of it was a product of my anxiety. It was grace. It was favour.
Not only that, but it was the unseen hand of a God who works beyond logic, yet within time.
And in that moment, I realised something:
Worry is the enemy of memory.
It makes us forget how far we’ve come and who carried us here.
So today, I’m choosing to remember.
- To trust again.
- To breathe again.
- To believe that if the same Super God could bring me here, He can take me farther — in His time, His way, His strength.
Stillness didn’t just quiet my thoughts today;
It reminded me that Heaven is not nervous about my future.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s all the assurance I need right now.
