New level, new devils...

In this life, no matter how ungainful you think your livlihood is, there will be someone out there trying to bring you down. If you find that statement "negative" or demotivating, that's your business, because God Himself didn't say it wouldn't happen. He just said no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper.

You know why? Because from when you're built for greatness, like baby Moses under the pharaoh, there's that special Providence that protects you, and in such a way that despite the overwhelming odds against what you do, a fortunate outcome prevails, and that pisses off those who'd rather they turn you off - so they adjust, hence the saying: "new levels, new devils."

The best Mbalah-man after Dr. Youssou N'dour, Pape Diouf said it even better. Muneh: "garab gi nara dorn pencha eleg, Lawbeh du ko gis beh gorr si ko. Yallah mi ko def morm mo koi aarr.” Meaning: no woodcarver will be able to 'see' the tree that will ultimately serve as the leisure hub, much less be able to chop it down. Such a tree is protected by the Most High Himself).
