MY THOTS ABOUT HILDA
If there’s any name that currently trends on the internet, it is Hilda Bassey, the new Guinness Book of Records holder* for the longest cooking hours done by an individual and while there are several lessons to be garnered, I’ll love to point out one.
For starters, I commend Hilda for the amazing feat as it takes dedication, courage and determination to achieve such a herculean task. *On the contrary, she may not have been able to go all the way if she didn’t have support because no one can achieve anything phenomenal without support.
Now, there were times she may have doubted herself or gotten exhausted and pondered quitting but with an Assistant beside her and more crucially, the crowd outside engaging her made her sail through.
Think about how the Vice President of Nigeria called her to commend her and the Governor of Lagos State showing up to taste her food. How about the countless celebrities, some of which she admires, coming to lend their support? Without a doubt, these triggered her willpower to endure.
But without all these and she was all alone in that kitchen, with no social media fuss or no family behind her back, she may have gotten bored and weak at some point and given up, especially due to her menstrual cramps.
Simply put, the need for a support system in life can not be overemphasized. William James, the founder of American psychology said, *“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”*
Therefore, with love, care, support and encouragement, we can all do exploits. Are you struggling with a goal or hurting from an issue? Get a support system.
Zig Ziglar said, *“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could simply because someone believed in them.”*
