One of the things that struck my spirit last year, while I was praying for this year is to be mindful of what I pay attention to, cause everybody has opinion, words are flying around, every body's talking about so many things, some of which are genuine, good, sincere, honest intentions, the reality of all this is that at the end of the day you only have yourself to face.
you know I grow up blaming people for a lot that was going on in my life, I blame my parents, I blame my uncles and aunties it would pained me so much that they can't help, just busy about thier own lives, while I was here struggling, trying to make sense of the world which I live in, I hated them for lots of reasons but then has I grow older I began to understand better....
you see that parable that says what an older man sits down to see, a young man even tho he climbs the tallest mountain he won't be able to see .. that parable talks of insight and foresight about life, which is basically far beyond what we see with our necked eyes. we will think that by natural order everything is suppose to fall in place, yes , however sometimes that's not always the case, maybe you were born into a good home, good caring family congratulations. but if you're not then you have to figure out a lot if things as you go.
I blamed everyone except myself, I was hurting inside more by doing this but then I realise that what if they too are struggling, what if they don't have, trying to put myself in thier shoe i learned to let go, heal more, I realize too that you only figure out life as you journey more into it, you don't learn to drive in a packed car, trying to figure out how to drive a bicycle it must be in motion to gain balance, nothing good comes easy, you must make that commitment to see to it that it succeed ....
I realize also that everybody has opinion on how best you should live your life, what you should do and shouldn't do, were you should go and were to stay, if you for whatever reasons made a mistake, got into trouble that's when it's like hell broke loose and everyone's knows better, but when you're struggling trying to make sense of everything no one's anywhere to be found..
this not to talk of the social media, which is like a world without walls everybody has mouth and voices but if you're not careful you can involuntarily began to allow all these words into your subconscious, you just have to be careful, filter every words hear but don't listen, only pay attention to what matters most to you, pay attention to what most relevant to your prospect and ambition for the year, we live in a world filled with so much noise.... you must learn to filter the unwanted chaff and stay the course on the path of your destiny and purpose.
