life – a journey

Life is about the final intention; it is about the ambition, the goal, the target and the attainment. It is foolish to give up when mud is thrown into your face because if you wash the mud off your face you will see more cleanly. When the wheels come off it does not imply the end of the journey. It means the beginning of another dimension, a dimension that will teach you to expect punctures, disappointments, derision and outright betrayal but this dimension is meant to make you stronger than when you tripped and only a fool will surrender when given more potent ammunition.

my pain , my gain

When growing up, my eyes were bloodshot. I was constantly taunted because it was believed that red or bloodshot eyes were a result of smoking dagga. I remember being introduced as a cousin brother of a brilliant former student when I went to apply for a Form 1 place. One look at me and the Head remarked in my face that I was a potential for trouble with my red eyes and that I would never measure up to my cousin. The pain of that slight gave a resolve. I went on to be the first child Parliamentarian in Luveve, was Head boy and overhauled my cousin’s performance at O’level. I gained resolve from pain.

weapons against us

As much as the preachers might pound the pulpit, there is a point that they do not clearly articulate. The failure of a weapon to prosper against you does not mean no missiles shall be lodged at you. Neither does it mean that if you do not dodge you will remain unscathed. The fact that the Word speaks of a weapon fashioned for you indicates the presence of custom made trouble. These include trials created to merge into your proto- type and it is not denial that will avoid you being a casualty, it is taking action.

Marching on

I have learnt that every challenge, hiccup, hindrance, difficulty etc is a test station. At every test station there is need to re fuel, take stock, test the brakes and ponder the distance left viz- a-viz the fuel reserves in store. Failures come when we use test stations as rest stations and by the time we deem it good to move the rail is blown away.

Our words

Do you see a forlorn man? Speak to him about a better tomorrow. Do you a distraught spouse? Turn her attention to the marvel of the angelic faces of her children and their unfailing trust in her. Do you see a despondent subordinate? Speak to them the vision of positive vibes and the fact that it takes less muscles to smile than to frown. Do you see a cursing world? Speak to it a positive vibe that tells of a better and brighter tomorrow as long as the sun will still rise.
