What do you Actually Do?
To mark the death of a group I started and to stick my feet back into the writers' pool, I wrote...
Every day, you wake up and at night you go to sleep. Years of this and what you do in the daylight becomes habitual. On the off chance that you aren't where you want to be right now. - Take a good look at whatever it is that you're doing. Refocus if need be. Give yourself a pat on the back if your assessment is positive.
A wise man said something like 'We are they way we are because we want to be, if we wanted otherwise we'd be in the process of changing right now.' Yet another one said 'A good time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, a better time is now'.
In the general scheme of things, we are the only ones to blame if our lives don't turn out the way we hope them to be. It practically goes without saying that we all know what they say about wishes and horses; if we don't endeavor to try at all well, then who else could we possibly blame? If your assessment of where you are reveals to you that you are far from where'd you like – dust yourself off and keep climbing. At the end of it all, no one will remember you for thinking you could alone. Any thought without an equivalent action might just as well have never been
Right now, as the world is pulsating with Obama-fever, it is a fact of life that we Will grow tired. It may not be relatively soon for some and too soon for others, but from all angles, it is inevitable. I'd like to hope that as the world stood up to watch the American election, and as Africans and other nationalities identify with a man whose blank history pages are waiting to be filled – we realize that just as Obama was able to focus on a goal and achieve it, so indeed can we.
And rather than just hoping or believing in ourselves, knowing that we too, can 'do'.
-The sky's no limit, ya'll - make sure you reach for it. ;)
- Here's to shopping through your closet and ice-cream. ..More on that later, possibly.
